One thing I noticed was that you can sometimes pick a song which matches the album's theme and also the band's musical direction at the time. Not For You, for example, not only showcases how the band (Ed?) were/was feeling at the time but also highlights his growing power and control over songwriting. On the other hand, a song like Bushleaguer is indicative of an album's sentiment but not its musical content.

I'll try and do this in regards to each album's major theme or mood.
Ten: Alive Vs: Animal (maybe even Leash) Vitalogy: Corduroy No Code: In My Tree Yield: Given To Fly Binaural: Parting Ways (it's a very vulnerable album, everything is in some sort of state of collapse) Riot Act: Love Boat Captain (or All Or None) Avocado: WWS

Yield: Given to Fly A wave of a song. There is defeat , triumph, joy, angst ,humanity and spirituality in this song. I think the whole message of Yield is represented in this one song.
