Got me excited:
1. Go/Animal
2. Spin the Black Circle/Tremor Christ (what a b-side!)
3. Given to Fly
4. World Wide Suicide (but maybe I’m remembering the 4 song leak)

No memory of how I felt:
Alive (Evenflow was my first memory), I am Mine (and I was at Bridge for the debut), NAIS

Not bad:
MYM

Wtf is this?:
Who You Are

God dammit!:

That pearl jam was amazing. To release a single like that after Vitalogy, Fuck. What balls.

I remember the first time hearing it was during an off season "dry land/weight lifting" training for hockey. At some weird gym. I didnt give a shit about anything else but running up to the speaker in the room and pinning my ear against it.

I was confused but also slightly erect.

other than 11 a pretty strong list. I had the most visceral positive reaction to WWS, and the weakest initial reactions to Who You Are and NAIS (I don't want to count Can't Deny Me yet)

Ranking based on my reactions as each was released:
Given To Fly - one of the few PJ singles I first heard on the radio; this one might have actually made "it" move a little bit
Alive
Go
Nothing As It Seems
STBC
Who You Are - Evoked probably my most jarring reaction when I heard it on the radio, I really didn't know what to think.
I Am Mine
Mind Your Manners
WWS
Can't Deny Me
The Fixer

Current ranking of those songs:
Given To Fly
Who You Are
Nothing As It Seems
Go
Alive
STBC
I Am Mine

Big drop off to the who cares group:

Who You Are was shocking when it was released. My friends hated it but I thought it was quite the interesting turn, though never in my top songs list per se. As I age I become more appreciative of many of those songs that didn’t fit the media’s mold for them.
