* "The Homing Beacon", a tribute to Michael Jackson told entirely through acoustic guitar. It charts the path of his life, beginning with simple, almost childlike plucking at the guitar to represent his innocence. It turns into the more complex riffs Buckethead is known for on albums like ''Colma'' and ''Electric Tears'', representing the peak of his career, then suddenly shifts into fast and chaotic Spanish classical-style finger playing as his life spirals out of control. And then....Buckethead simply slams his hand on the strings, bringing it to an abrupt end.

* Many, many, ''many'' songs, notably almost every track on ''Electric Tears'', ''Population Override'', ''Colma'', and ''A Real Diamond In The Rough''. However, the absolute crowner would have to be [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSxPDAUbiQA "I Love My Parents"]].

* In 1998, Buckethead released ''Colma''. The album was made for his mother, who was in the hospital recovering from colon cancer. It was the 4th album he ever released, and truly showed just how much he cared about her. 16 years, 91 solo records, and countless side projects and guest appearances later, he released ''Hold Me Forever'', in memory of her.

* ''Sail On Soothsayer'', which is a follow up song for the first one he dedicated to his aunt - ''Soothsayer''. ''Sail On Soothsayer'' was written for her after she passed away, and is much more melancholic and gentle in tone.
