Strangest Tribe vs. World Wide Suicide vs. Release

[stip]

Ugh. Strangest Tribe is nice but it's not in the conversation for me.

Release is the superior song, and it's going to win. But World Wide Suicide was the song that restored my faith in Pearl Jam when it was starting to wane just a little bit. I don't think I ever had such a positive reaction to one of their singles, and it was a top 5 song for a while. I like the story, its danceable ferocity, and the way Eddie screams coming out of the bridge is a catalog highlight. It'll get my vote. If it was closer I'd have to think more.

If Release doesn't win here I am rage quitting.

[wease]

Release easily. But I love WWS.

[JuanHamm]

I love strangest tribe, but I have to vote for Release. WWS is absolute garbage and it's good that it's going to be eliminated in the first round.

[tragabigzanda]

Has Release never won a tourney?

[stip]

nope, but it's a frequent visitor to the final 8-16. Abnorman?

[Farmer John]

Release should probably win, but I have to vote for Strangest Tribe.

[Jaeti]

Release should win, and I assume that it will. But Strangest Tribe is special, too, and I'm going to throw it my vote.

[LetMeSleep]

Release should win, and I assume that it will. But Strangest Tribe is special, too, and I'm going to throw it my vote.

This. Although if it stays close then I feel I'll have to fess up.

[Kevin Davis]

"Strangest Tribe" exists in a quiet space no other PJ songs do. I love it so much, way more than either of these other songs (though I like them both!)

[Anders]

Love Strangest Tribe. Gets my vote today.

[MattA75]

I'll never understand how this poll is so close

[stip]

pleased with WWS’s performance!

[warehouse]

holy shit you guys have terrible taste

[Anders]

holy shit you guys have terrible taste

Which one did you vote for?

[Strat]

geezes just take a pause and consider the sonic and emotional territory these three songs cover and try not to love pearl jam more than anything.

What 3 incredible songs.

I can't decide!

Release has made 3 semi finals, but never any further. It has an average of 151 votes per tournament.

Worldwide Suicide trails with 51 average votes, and Strangest Tribe is close behind with 50.
