I actually whole heartedly agree with you this time!

Black.

Scary that it's tied right now, even if it's early.

I really really really want HtI to win this. But it won't.

Black is one of the best and most important PJ songs of all time. The Unplugged performance is iconic for a reason.

It’s funny how we slag early PJ a fair bit (mostly because of over exposure) and then we get into the serious part of MM and Ten is the most represented album and songs like Black become unfuckwithable.

Both brilliant tunes. But I have to go HTI. Fully expect Black too win though and I can't be mad at that.

I'm with Higgs and Joe. Both good songs that have fallen in my opinion of them, but "Hard to Imagine" is the one I'd rather hear.

The only Pearl Jam dream I ever remember having (this was back in like 2006) was about meeting the band before a show randomly and Ed asking what song I wanted to hear. I said Hard to Imagine. And in the dream the opened with it and dedicated it to me.

The next time I saw them was June of 2008 (first time seeing them at MSG) and they opened with Hard To Imagine and I was a weepy mess. It was incredible.

I also wanted to use the song in an indie film my buddy and I were writing back in the day. The film fell through in the 11th hour. But I still think about that scene and how perfect the song would have been.

Anyway... I love Hard to Imagine.
