The best would have to be Bare, hands down. Followed by Rent, and Little Shop of Horrors. Oh! And Feeling Electric.

I can't believe two people have listed "Bare" as their favorites... that was actually the first that came to my mind for worst. And "Hairspray" was second.

My favorite is "The Light in the Piazza."

Not sure if it's the #1 best, but one of my favorites that it seems no one mentioned yet is Hair.

I agree with a lot of the above suggestions. While it's not massively popular, I've always thought "The Scarlet Pimpernel" was a cute little tune.

Title song#74

There are a few I like, but someone mentioned Dear World's as being the worst, and though it is out of place in that quaint little show, it is hardly a bad song.
But to name some favorites- Cabaret, The Light in the Piazza, Sunday in the Park with George, Company, The Happy Time, gosh there are a lot. That's all I can think of for now.
