It depends on whether you're referring to the original release or the reissues. I used to consider TTT one of the weaker original releases, but with the addition of previously unreleased material, I think it's now one of the best.
Reissues:
1. TTT
2. Notorious Byrd Bros.
3. Younger Than Yesterday
4. Sweetheart (Legacy)
5. Mr. Tambourine Man

Actually its hard to pick five..I like stuff off of most of them...I've made a few compliation CDs of various tracks..and tend to listen to them rather than any particular CD or Cds

But..my five..in no particular order

1. Mr Tambourine Man
2. Ballad of Easy Rider
3. Sweetheart of the Rodeo
4. Younger Than Yesterday
5. Boston Tea Party Feb? 1969

Another favorite of mine is the "Ash Grove" boot...the Byrds circa 1970 as a bar band...with all the clams and mix ups...clearly they were having a good time...real loose, and perhaps the chemicals were flowing......with guest appearence by Linda Ronstadt, John Hammond, Gram Parsons, and Gib Gibeau (sp?) and has some of McGuinns worst attempts at harmony on the duet with Linda...but its fun...and if you gig...and ever had fears of screw ups on stage, listen to this......it happens to everyone...

I used to have a boot that had two (or three) takes of 'Turn, Turn, Turn' before vocal tracks had been added, that you guys may want to keep an eye out for.
