Even more-casual fans probably know and like Last Exit, maybe Hail Hail (but surely to a lesser degree). Sure. But I don't think either counts as a "hit." But I suppose it all depends on language and context.
I think I sort of get what I think you're trying to say, TVG. I'm not trying to bust balls. Nothing that's made it on here so far is super surprising except Thin Air. And neither of these two songs in this match (whichever wins) will be surprising either (though I concede Insignificance is probably less of a hit than Do The Evolution by the standards I mentioned above) in the context of this board and what songs are most beloved by a wide range of dedicated fans that kept listening after Vitalogy.
But the point isn't (nor should be) pick the least likely song for this Ultimate Album. Right?
All im saying is that if we were on a show and the band played these songs, most of us would say oh yeah the hits show. Oh, its a festival show.
Of course im not expecting more, from an ULTIMATE PJ ALBUM thing, but my point is still valid. I think Last Exit is a very well know song, Hail hail too, In my Tree and of course, evolution.
Nothing as it seems might be unknown for a single, and yes, thin air is a rarity.
BONE FUCKIN´ TOMAHAWK.
