Rotten Apple, easily. Such incredible atmosphere in that song, and such a perfect kick off to Jar of Flies, which is a masterpiece of a record

Pretty much anything off of Jar of FLies wins except Whale and Wasp, but Rotten Apple is a top song regardless.

Re: 55. Smile vs. Rotten Apple
Two fantastic songs. I love Smile though. Might have to give both a second listen later.

Rotten Apple is one of the best Alice in Chains songs there is. Very easy.

Re: 55. Smile vs. Rotten Apple
Smile is completely average. Everything about it is mediocre. Rotten Apple is gorgeous.

It took me a while to appreciate the majesty of Smile. Maybe someday you'll get there too.

Re: 55. Smile vs. Rotten Apple
I agree with this. Both Jar Of Flies and No Code are in my top ten albums of all time. Can't vote against Smile here.durdencommatyler wrote:Both great. Went with Smile. Wish both could win.

I've listened to the song for over 20 years, I have always had the same opinion. Decent song, nothing special.LoathedVermin72 wrote:It took me a while to appreciate the majesty of Smile. Maybe someday you'll get there too.

Re: 55. Smile vs. Rotten Apple
Even if I gave Smile more credit it isn't nearly as good as Rotten Apple. That song is damn near perfect.

Sometimes I'm reminded that this is a pearl jam message board, and I despair.

Re: 55. Smile vs. Rotten Apple
Yeah, Burt. I mean, I like PJ a lot more than AIC but this contest shouldn't even be close. And it probably won't be. Just not in favor of the better song.
