Bury Me Beneath the Willow
and
Rolling In My Sweet Baby's Arms
because those two tunes taught me so much about playing the Banjo
No Steering, No Brakes
Real Women Drive Trucks (because I like tuner songs)
Banjo in the Hollow (because it is the first tune I ever learned on the banjo)

I like to play what people relate to, so they are interested in listening. Here's my 5. Lonesome road blues, Home sweet home(with the tuners), Cripple creek, Jesse James, Foggy Mtn. Breakdown.

Hmm, no order:

All the way to Reno

Dear Old Dixie

Hen Scratchin' Stomp

Flyin' South To Dixie/Don't Let Your Deal Go Down

Take Me In The Lifeboat

The last one, which with slight variations is also several other bluegrass tunes, is my automatic warm up tune (Sometimes it's Banks of the Ohio in F, actually).

73, Brennen

This changes all the time, but lately the tunes I've especially felt like playing are Black Diamond (Don Stover), Cherokee Shuffle, Bending the Strings (Allen Shelton), Hickory Hollow (Doug Dillard) and Kentucky Waltz (Monroe). Next week the list will probably be different.
