Too many to count: "Ain't Even Done With the Night," "Authority Song," "Get A Leg Up," "Rain on the Scarecrow," "Rumbleseat," "Paper in Fire"...I can go on. He's got an amazing, solid discography.

"Ain't Even Done With The Night" seconded, or maybe "Cherry Bomb."

i like lots of mellencamp, but i'm not sure he ever improved on "hurts so good."

(my wife's fave is "jackie brown," it makes her all teary)

save for get a leg up, Alfred's list matches mine pretty well. add "i need a lover...", too.

"Tumblin' Down", "Minutes to Minutes", "Paper in Fire", "Check It Out"...Big Daddy is a good album start to finish...I like the John Cougar Mellencamp era more than the John Mellecamp or John Cougar eras...

t/s: john cougar's "i need a lover" vs. pat benatar's. (i like cougar's better, partly for the extended aor intro, but benatar's rocks good too.)

If you find him doing "I Need a Lover" on American Bandstand on YouTube; watch closely: At least some of the time, he's actually mouthing the words "I need a lover who'll sit on my face."

Shouts to "Jackie O," "Play Guitar," last cut on The Lonesome Jubilee, "Whenever We Wanted," "Brothers."

The double-disc comp released in 2004 is an excellent start.
Some more: "Jackie Brown," "From Minutes To Memories," "Check It Out."

man "Authority Song" is such a jam

I don't think I can definitively answer this, but it's either on Scarecrow or The Lonesome Jubilee (or maybe it's "Last Chance" from Whenever We Wanted).

Question dealt with in far more detail here, btw:
What is John (Cougar) Mellancamp's best song?

^
Perhaps an unpopular choice, but "Last Chance" from Whenever We Wanted is so best.

I'm remarkably consistent.
