I like it, it's just that other than Garden, all the remaining Ten choices I like better (Alive, Why Go, Black, Jeremy, Oceans). Marker has really grown on me over the years, although I still think Parachutes is a better song. I'd be fine with Ghost as well.

Jumped ahead and put mine together based on what all I've voted for. Ended up:
Spoiler: show
Getaway
God's Dice
Who You Are
Tremor Christ
Marker In the Sand
Seven O'clock
Evolution
Rearviewmirror
Get Right
Force Of Nature
Release
All Those Yesterdays
Looking forward to how the collective one turns out.

Ten is impossibly deep. I can't really take offense that you think there are better songs than Porch :) Agree about Garden, too

Voting "Tremor Christ," but I'd be okay with "Light Years" or "Given to Fly," too. They're all heavy-hitting favorites.

Except that there are still several great options from Vitalogy. Leaving off Tremor Christ means you could still get Corduroy (for example). That's way less egregious than including probably the worst Pearl Jam song from the worst Pearl Jam album and calling it "Ultimate."

Didn't you vote for Force of Nature?
ABSOLUTELY NOT

How are we even friends????????????????

Switched my vote from Cropduster to Given To Fly.

Hoping to somehow encourage others to do the same and preserve the Vitalogy slot until we can put Corduroy on this thing.

The problem is though... Tremor Christ is better than Corduroy.

The missed opportunity here is that I think most of the songs from Ten still available are better than Porch, but that's still a good song, and I think this would be a strong mix until the end.
I like this. You've made chicken salad out of chicken shit.

BUT... given that Get Right still has a chance, I'm going to switch my vote here from Cropduster to Tremor Christ and then lobby hard for Get Right later. Which could mean Nothing As It Seems or Insignificance instead of Grievance, and I fucking LOVE that idea.

That'd be fine; I prefer both those songs anyway.

i'd have to think on that, might be a coin flip.

Light Years has to be the most overrated song in the catalogue though.

Light Years is an excellent companion to Sad. Probably why I hold them both in such high regard.

I like Light Years a lot. I guess I don't have any real gauge for how it's rated though (over or under) among fans.
