Billions of albums sold, 9 Grammys won, 1 Oscar-winning film soundtrack penned, prescription drugs taken by the jarful. I doubt anyone on this community can say they've never heard an Eminem song. But which ones (if any) are the pick of the (bleached) crop? You get SIX ticks to denote your Eminemineminem love. I've included collaborations for completeness.

In praise of "My Name Is"

Apart from being a great single, it really really does what it says on the box - I can't think of any other first single that so clearly (and literally) makes the case for "Three minutes ago you hadn't heard of me. Now, I'm a star". argh blabble words, but you know what I mean, right?
