Fly me to the moon
And let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars
In other words hold my hand
In other words darling kiss me
Fill my life with song
And let me sing forevermore
You are all I hope for
All I worship and adore
In other words please be true
In other words I love you
Dedicated to that special someone...

So much of Frank's music is to be treasured, how can I make a mere list and omit so much of his other material I ask?
Well, if I had to, I would say I like the more mature Sinatra material, from roughly his 1959 era or so on up to the late 80's or so. The DUETS albums were nice, but by then Frank was being objectified and the albums felt all too forced to me, despite the fact I did buy both because, after all they were "new" Sinatra albums.
Well, back to your question:
I liked the entire SINATRA and JOBIM albums they did together, as well as the very well known hits listed by others.
I like NEW YORK NEW YORK
I enjoyed his covers of other artists songs, as it always seemed he was having a ball with his take on a particular number! Listen to him do CALL ME, DOWNTOWN, or BIG BAD LEROY BROWN...great stuff!
To pick just a small list of favorite Francis Albert Sinatra material is a real "Sophie's Choice" act for me.....too hard to do!

Tough to narrow down, but here goes:
One For My Baby - great Johnny Mercer song, and the best story/saloon song ever - even when he was nearing the end of his life, this was the song he still could deliver on better then anyone.
Blues in the Night - most singers perform this as an uptempo number, but Sinatra's version is as someone who's been heartbroken - a true blues masterpiece - Listen to the great arrangement that Nelson Riddle gives it, and that great bass line.
All the Way - pretty song - and listen to his version from The Joker is Wild, right after he tries to sing after recovering from having his neck cut.
That's Life and Best is Yet to Come - two great uptempo songs - no one sells it better then Old Blue Eyes.
My Way - its so easy to forget just what a performance Sinatra gives this song - so many singers have done it in a mocking or satirical style, but Frank's version is amazing.
Fly Me to the Moon - this is the song when I think of Frank from the Ratpack days - you can just hear the charisma and confidence pouring out of every note.
Man its hard just limiting to a list - there are so many great songs - and I bet everyone on here probably wants to revise their answers later because we forgot one or two or three others. But that's my list.
