I think it speaks more to the merit of the original post.

Lecherous little troll has given us about 10 different fake tracklists, just for fun, and has also been pretending to have heard the songs. For weeks now.

Oh, so in other words he's a known troll? Gotcha. I had a hunch and should have known before responding to him. :oops:

It's more like the scene at the end of a Nicholas Sparks novel turned into poetry by an 11th grade girl.
All of PJ's 'emotional' songs are like that, just with different scenes from different cheesy novels. What I don't understand is why ATW is any cheesier than GTF. Is it because GTF mentions smoking a joint? I mean, you know, it makes it much edgier, granted.
Not a big fan of Given to Fly. It's got a great sonic backdrop, and a warm recording, but otherwise it's kinda Pearl Jam's Dream On I guess.
You are not a fan of Given to Fly!?! And you are also a Pearl Jam fan? Does not compute.

I was hoping you'd see the irony there. I for one think you can like or dislike any songs you... like. Or don't, like.

Is this the whole objective/subjective thing again?

Because this feels like the whole objective/subjective thing again.

You are certainly entitled to that opinion.

You're reading into it too deeply. I made an ironic joke, in the style of a member of the Pit: OMG YOU DON'T LIKE "PORCH", YOU'RE NOT A PJ FAN, GO LISTEN TO CREED." I was hoping you'd take it as the joke that it was. I've never creamed myself over GTF either. I like it, but it's not the Second Coming. It's not even a first one.
