[DTA]

Salvaging is so damn good, but it's one no one ever talks about. It's one of the songs I hope he plays on his upcoming tour since I don't believe he ever has played it.

[Elite]

Salvaging is second best on Insurgentes and probably a top 5 from his solo career (and I’m not even kidding here)

Missed the poll, but the winners are pretty much what I would've picked anyway.
