I can think of at least five great songs from them. I list in them in reverse awesomeness order....
5) hmm
4) (cue the crickets please)
3) er.....

1) Serenade (I was very young and tripping balls so forgive me)
Edited to add, we did also listen to "Fly like an eagle" the night I heard #1 so I guess the original #1 was actually #2. Go figure.
