Satisfied, The Schuyler Sisters, and Wait For It from Hamilton. From the Non-Hamilton shows, She Used to Be Mine from Waitress and Beautiful from Invisible Thread. Also a special mention to Touch Me from Deaf West Spring Awakening and I'm Here from The Color Purple. Although they're not new to this season, the revivals both elevated those songs to new heights.

So far it's "The Schuyler Sisters" for me.

I forgot to mention "LIke Other Girls" from Daddy Longlegs. I adore that song! Thanks for bringing it up, JBroadway and |ChildofEarth!

I could probably pick a different song every day from Hamilton, but the one song that tops them all by far is still Satisfied.
And though the OP didn't ask, I would have to say that my LEAST favorite song is What'd I miss. I want to like the song so bad but to me it sounds like a mash-up gone wrong. One moment it sounds like slow RnB and the next, its 'Great Balls of Fire' Rock'n'Roll. The constant tempo changes keeps messing with my head; it just doesn't work for me. I feel like it should be two separate songs. However, I have a feeling that this was done on purpose to show the quirkiness and/or disconnect Jefferson initially had from spending all that time in France.

I admit I'm actually not a big fan of that song either. But is it really your least favorite song out of the ENTIRE 2015-2016 season?

Yes. I will admit I don't get the opportunity to go to as many shows as most posters on this board and certain shows just don't interest me, but based on what I've been able to listen to this season...yes. With that being said, I don't HATE the song. I just don't like it as much as everything else. It kind of sticks out like sore thumb compared to the rest of the recording to me.

I can't pick one so here goes- The Room Where it Happens, Wait for It, Satisfied, Who Lives etc, opening song, Non-Stop, and You'll be Back from Hamilton.
If I Were a Rich Man from Fiddler is good too.

I'm Here was the best live experience of my entire life for sure, but Wait for It is a better song (I feel). Also, can anyone explain the staging for Wait for It? I saw the show, but I feel like I didn't get it.. the slow spin in a circle with 4 members of the ensemble sitting in a square. Is it symbolic or anything?
Also, I love Not a Common Man from American Psycho, in saying that I've only listened to the London Cast Recording. I'd love to see Ben's rendition of it!

"Waving Through a Window" from Dear Evan Hansen, or pretty much all of Pat Nixon's music from First Daughter Suite.

"Wait for It" and "Non-Stop" from Hamilton, without a doubt. And I can't stop listening to "Selling Out" and "Not a Common Man" from American Psycho, so I'd say those are on my list of favorites as well.

I haven't seen/heard enough new non-Hamilton shows to name a favorite, but I do like Killing Spree from American Psycho.
As for Hamilton, my favorite song song in the show is probably Wait for It (with a few plot-specific lyric changes it could be a radio hit), although My Shot, Room Where It Happens, and Satisfied are all beyond brilliant. And Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story might be the best finale number from a musical ever written.

Wholeheartedly agreed.

It's a simple melody that punches me in the gut when I hear it. I've devoted a good chunk of my life to studying history, so a song that is reflective of what happened is a winner to me. It's simplicity is it's key.
I'm in the camp that says "Who lives, who dies, who tells your story?" should have been the tag line for the show, like it was at the Public.
BACK ON TOPIC
Not a Common Man has been getting a lot of play from me lately. After seeing the London production, i caught the Broadway production this past weekend and I really dig Ben Walker singing this song.

I feel like Selling Out is a good song to open American Psycho but when you take it out of that context it's not a good song in general.
