Long Road vs. Brain of J

Post by **stip** » Tue March 30, 2021 12:29 am

Long Road is one the list of songs I used to love that I grew tired of, though it's still pretty powerful in the live environment (which makes sense, given its elegiac feel. Brain of J doesn't slay quite as hard as it used to (I think Yield, more than any record has suffered the most over time in terms of the first rate songs being the ones I no longer seek out), but it still slays, and is a fairly easy vote, though I respect Long Road.

Brain of J is killer. But Long Road has that build. What a great song.

This is a tough 5-star showdown for me, but I'm going with Long Road.

I'm with you on this. Both are high end Pearl Jam songs but going with Long Road was actually a relatively easy call.

Just watch the damned video, Brain of J should win the whole tournament.

Long Road makes me weep, BOJ makes me jump off the walls in delight.

BOJ it is.

Going with BoJ. Long Road is good, but I've never loved it.
