Well, he's only had 8 polkas [9 if you count "Polkamon"]. I'm with you, though -- my fave is "The Hot Rocks Polka" too ; it's great fun to hear the Stones all bouncy and happy!
A close second would be "Hooked On Polka" off DTBS -- it's just so wonderfully manic. Just my 27 cents worth.
hot rocks polka is definitely good. and so is the bohemian polka. I thought that was genius! but my favorite would have to be (can't think of the name of it) the one from OTDE.
But, some kinda stick out more than others. I agree that Hot Rocks Polka is a very bouncy tune. Bohemian Polka holds a "special place" for me, 'cuz it was the first Al polka I ever heard in my life. Though the two polkas tied for my #1 favorite are Polka Power! and Hooked On Polkas!
The Alternative Polka (Bad Hair Day). This one has the best overall polka energy about it. Just about my favorite line in any of them is in this one -- "I'm a loser, baby, so why don't ya kill me, EVERYBODY!"

I love that! I couldn't hear it on my regular CD played, but when I heard it on my headphones, I just burst out laughing! Needless to say, I got a weird look from my mom.
I have a tough time choosing. I love the Alternative Polka, mainly because of the memories I have with it. (Nothing like singing a polka medley in the back of a marching band bus while the front of the bus is blaring boy bands.)
I'd have to go with the Alternative Polka on this one.
