the alive outro is the greatest guitar solo of all time so obviously that is number one

Disagree that it's the greatest guitar solo of all time, but do agree it's the right answer to the question, and the best guitar solo in a Pearl Jam song.

Not saying it’s the greatest by far, but Never Destination is one of the few songs, where the outro is both high quality and where the second part of the song, destroys the first part.

Retrograde as well, but in a much more boring way.

Let It Ride needs to be on this list.

I know it's an obvious choice but RVM is the perfect example of a song whose last section builds and crashes on everything that came before it, thematically and sonically; "saw things clearer once you were in my rearview mirror"

Alive is a great one, but Stairway to Heaven may disagree with this assertion.

I can get behind this.

I am also very fond of the outro to Daughter, how it slowly winds down to Dave (?) tapping the rhythm to the song out on his thighs (?).

I really like the outro to "Faithfull". Someone here once described that song's structure as "palindromic" and it made sense to me. I think it resolves really nicely and kind of unexpectedly with "faithful to you"

yeah I love that, and I feel like a shade of it is there in the resolution of "Never Destination": "...on my mind"

why can't Pearl Jam just go back in time and write Stairway to Heaven first?
