Just wanted to see what everyone thought, at least those of you who listened or still do listen to them.

 

Personally my favorite is Black, definitely one of their more meaningful songs and something a lot of us can relate to.

I feel so left out. I've never heard a Pearl Jam song....

Probably BetterMan--although for the longest time I thought they were saying Patter Pan.

 

Now that I know the lyrics I like it a lot more...

Evenflow!

 

 

BTW Thanks for the flashback to my HS days.

Other.

"State Of Love & Trust".

ONLY Pearl Jam song I like.

Yellow Ledbedder

Now that I know the lyrics I like it a lot more...

whenever my wife plays her Pearl Jam CD and that song comes on, I sing

"...can't find a butter kniiiiiiiife....."

It's even more annoying than you'd think.

My vote went to Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town. Though it wasa tough call between that and black as well as Daughter.

Any of you guys buy the album Rearviewmirror (greatest hits 1991 - 2003) ?? It's got all of these favorites on it.

Thank you, Columbia House!

 

I met Stone Gossard once. Asshole. Big time!

 

I'd have to say my favorite Pearl Jam would be not actually a Pearl Jam song.

 

I like "The Day Brings" by Brad - side project with Stone Gossard.

And "Hunger Strike" by Temple of the Dog - featuring Mr. Vedder.

 

Otherwise, if I had to choose, I'd choose Dissident.

It is too hard to pick one. Can I go with none? Not a PJ fan.

Former PJ fan here, boy I miss the very early days of that band when Eddie used to climb s*** at their shows and could roar like a lion.

Now they put me to sleep, what happened??

Huge Pearl Jam fan here. I've actually read three of their books & I have maybe a dozen bootlegs including the classic MTV Unplugged performance from 1992 with Jack McDowell on guitar for "Even Flow" That boy can certainly hold his own.

 

Honestly though, my favorite albums are "Yield" and "Binaural". My favorite tracks, and I don't know if I can choose one over the others:

 

Wishlist

Sleight Of Hand

Parting Ways

Footsteps (Live version from "Covering Themselves")

Oceans (from "MTV Unplugged")

Elderly Woman

Curduroy

 

There are too many to name...

Hey Hammer, do you have any of the Stickfigure stuff? I only heard like 3 songs before and it was pretty darn good.

I don't have anything from Stickfigure. I remember hearing a song from them...it kinda sounded like R.E.M.

 

Yeah, Jack McDowell is a talented guy. Stanford Graduate, Professional Athlete, Musician, Sports Writer, etc.

Don't Go Out There. Not really a big song for them though.

I can relate to that song. Maybe some day i'll do the same as he did. So no one f***s with me no more

Big time PJ fan. I feel like I am one of the few that still think they are good.

 

I'd have to go with Corduroy off the Vitology album. Also love "I got ID" off the Merkin Ball import.

 

Best album? Vs.

Also love "I got ID" off the Merkin Ball import.

I can't make out anything that Vedder is saying, but that song kicks ass.

my lips are shakin' my nails are bit off

been a month since i've heard myself talk

all the advantage this life's got on me

picture a cup in the middle of the sea

and i fight back in my mind

never lets me be right

i got memories i got s***

so much it don't show

oh i walked the line when you held me in that night

i walked the line when you held my hand that night

an empty shells seem so easy to crack

got all these questions don't know who i could even ask

so i'll just lie alone and wait for the dream

where i'm not ugly and your lookin' at me

and i stare you back

oh blue eyes, i've seen it

if just once i could feel love

oh stare back at me, yeah..

but i walked the line when you held me in that night

oh i walked the line when you held my hand that night

oh i walked the line when you held me close that night

i paid the price never held you in real life

my lips are shakin'

Nice one. Yeah, I don't know what it is about that track. I read that they did it in one take. That's why there's some inconsistent patterns with the guitar work towards the end. They should have adjusted the vocals so that you could actually make out what he's saying. But it's still a great song...it has a live feel to it.

Their version of "Keep on Rockin' In The Free World". Love it.

how is yellow ledbetter not on this list

Speaking of songs that you have no idea what the f*** Eddie is saying...

 

You won't be able to find lyrics for this one.
