I've never had this happen before, but my rankings are identical to picpack's of those 5 (though if "Black Heart Inertia" may grow on me enough to pass "Oil & Water" or "Love Hurts" but it's not remotely close to the others.
But why only rank 5 singles when you could rank them all!!!
A+ Drive
A Pardon Me Dig Megalomaniac Anna Molly
A- Warning Sick Sad Little World (It did go top 50 on Active) Circles Nice To Know You Are You In? Agoraphobia Stellar
B+ New Skin Wish You Were Here Love Hurts
B Oil And Water Make A Move A Certain Shade Of Green Take Me To Your Leader
B- Black Heart Inertia
C+ Talk Shows On Mute
While pre-Make Yourself singles didn't do very well on this ranking system, two of my five favorite Incubus songs were off S.C.I.E.N.C.E but they were never made singles. These are the five Incubus songs I'd give A+ to besides "Drive" are: "Aqueous Transmission," "The Warmth," "Deep Inside," "Redefine," and "Nowhere Fast."

It might change, but right now I guess I would rank these this way:
Dig > Anna Molly > Oil And Water > Love Hurts > Black Heart Inertia
I will rank all their singles later and with grades. Howhever it will be a bit difficult as Incubus is in my all time top 10 favorite bands and I love most of their stuff.

I am a bit disappointed after how much I loved the LG singles, but it's good and I haven't given it time to grow yet.

Wow, you ranked them the same as Pickpack and I did too. And fran was only different in his reversal of Oil and Water and Love Hurts. This must be fairly close to a consensus on where Incubus songs stand.

Whereas I would rank them the same as Cody, but with "Dig" and "Anna Molly" switched.
Dig [#1 peak on my personal chart] > Anna Molly [#4] > Black Heart Inertia [???] > Oil & Water [#12] > Love Hurts [#14]

Possibly dethrone Kings of Leon from #1 within a few weeks?

Green Day will be out before then Yes, and even without Green Day, I don't think this would reach the top spot. I believe "Love Hurts" will affect this in a negative way. Like people were without a new Incubus single for around a year, "Love Hurts" was released suddenly and that may have killed the thirst a little bit. But still, this is a new Incubus single, so we can only expect this to get Alternative radio love.

I dont remember the last time one ever did

I really hope "Black Heart Inertia" doesn't go #1, let alone Top 5. It's just not good enough.

Agree completely with jvandyck87 regarding The Warmth. It's uncommon for songs to be that positive and that good, and Incubus has done it twice (Drive). Don't know that Black Heart Inertia comes close, but I'll give it some time to sink in.

The chorus of this song reminds me of "Talk Show on Mute." For me, it's looking like:
Dig>>>Anna-Molly>Love Hurts>Black Heart Inertia>>Oil and Water.

Ah, this is where the Talk Show / Shows On Mute reference came from. Anyone recall the reason they changed the title from the album to the single?

Wow. This song is TERRIBLE. I decided to download and listen to it on the bus to school the other day. And i didn't like ANYTHING about it. It isn't memorable, it just sounded like crap to me. Worst thing I've ever heard by Incubus in my opinion.

Yes, this is kind of a dud. But I wasn't expecting much from an old B-side that wasn't good enough to make an album.

I finally figured out why I really like this song. It sounds like something Soundgarden would have done in their heyday. To me their is nothing wrong with that but for the younger audience I don't think they would fully understand that without having been a young adult in the early to mid 90's, even if you liked some of the music from that period.

Agreed. Just not as popular. Soundgarden in their heyday was better.

Hm. Roughen up the guitar tone and you're onto something there. Yeah but Soundgarden in their heyday was better. Indeed. I've incidentally been affirming that this past week with a trip back through some of of their catalog in my collection.
