Ultimate Pearl Jam Album Redux Track 4 (finals)

Post by stip »

I wanted to follow up on the totally fun Ultimate Pearl Jam Album with a slightly different version. We will be voting on the best track for each slot (1-12, and 13+) with a few changes:

1. We will use ranked choice voting - (or a variant since our polls don't let us do that). Each track will have several rounds of voting. Round 1 will eliminate the lowest 8 totals. Round 2 the next 3. Round 3 will pick the winner (modified as needed for track 13+)
2. You can vote for your top 3 in Round 1, top 2 for Round 2, and favorite for Round 3
2. We will use these results to create quasi-seeding for March Madness 2021
3. We include Lost Dogs Disc 1 and 2
4. Voting will stay open for 24 hours
5. If needed overtimes will happen in one hour increments


1. Last Exit
2. Hail Hail
3. Daughter

This is a tricky one. A ton of songs I like, but not many of my all time favorites.

Easy inclusion of Tremor Christ and Given to Fly

Debating between Why Go, Sirens, Quick Escape for the other vote (although again, except for Hitchhiker, Light Years, and I guess Footsteps I enjoy all of these)

Lets say Why Go

Voting "Cropduster" (the best Riot Act song), "Light Years" (an underrated BInaural song), and "In My Tree" (the best Pearl Jam song)

Tremor Christ
In My Tree
Given To Fly

But this is a very difficult round. The picks could just as easily include Why Go, Cropduster and Light Years.

This is tough. Lots of classic cleanup hitters here.

Tremor Christ
In My Tree
Quick Escape (it might really be an all-timer)

Apologies to GTF, Light Years, Cropduster.

Both are amazing songs. I said I'd be happy if either won. Still, somehow it feels... icky.

But yes Daughter is awesome.

My favorite track position in the catalog. There are so many great songs that occupy the four spot. Today I'm voting "Given to Fly," "Light Years," and "Cropduster," with the overall aim to try to push "Light Years" to the final. It's always been one of my favorites and recently I might call it my #1 or #2 along with "Sleight of Hand."

Light Years is a really wonderful song. Definitely worthy of making it to the next round.
