One of my top 13, Red Mosquito

[tragabigzanda]

RM is overrated and Evacuation is underrated

[knee tunes]

RM is overrated and Evacuation is underrated

I'll overrate red mosquito any day

heck, actually I guess I do

[stip]

I think Red Mosquito is rated about right. I'll save a longer post for it for next round. Evacuation has some pretty decent verses (and an overrated bridge), but I don't like the clench teeth nasal singing that Eddie is doing, and the chorus is utterly wretched.

Easy vote for Red Mosquito

EVACUATION

[Leatherhead]

Let's take Evacuation all the way.

[liebzz]

I have come around to Evacuation, but Red Mosquito is one of the best Pearl Jam songs.

[digster]

Similar to something like Immortality, Red Mosquito is one of those highly beloved songs that I never really go back to. There's nothing bad about it, I enjoy it when listening through No Code, but I rarely if ever seek it out. I will do that with Evacuation, and it gets my vote.

Red Mosquito!

I wont forget that amazing rendition in ACL 09 with Ben Harper on slide guitar.....what a song

[epilogue]

Wow, this is tough... I need to think this one over, listen to each again.

[Jaeti]

Red Mosquito.

Evacuation's chorus is impressively detrimental to the song's well-being.

[The Town]

Red Mosquito doesn't sit as high as it used to for me.

Evacuation's chorus used to be a deal breaker for me but now I can get along with it.
Shout out to it making the cut for TB2K

I like Evacuation's tourny forward momentum.

[Bammer]

The Namesake

[wease]

Evacuation. Just so we can get more Matt songs going forward.

[B]

I was thinking Education. I switched to RM.

[ABNorman]

Red Mosquito, easily.

[epilogue]

I'm going with RM for now. But I might switch. This is tough.

[Monkey_Driven]

Red Mosquito

I do like Evacuation, but not as much as a standalone song. It works much better in the opening 1-2-3 punch of Binaural.

[Jaeti]

Yeah, if I put on the album, I don't skip it these days like I did for a long time. But on its own, I'd vote for most of their catalog over it, I think.
