Easy votes for You Are and All or None, though the inclusion in Last of Us has me feeling well disposed towards it. I hope Future Days makes it into season 2!

Complete opposite of Stip.

Can't Keep and I Am Mine to go.

You Are (along with Ghost, not pictured here) are songs that I've come to appreciate much more over the years. The evolution with You Are is even more recent, though. Can't Keep has always been tremendous.

All or None is a fine song. I've always liked it. But it's always struck me as an instance of Pearl Jam (or maybe just Ed specifically) reaching for something that's too obvious, or at least comes to feel that way and doesn't age well. I think most of us have different songs toward which we'd direct that criticism. Present Tense comes to mind (not for myself, but for others).

And, actually, I Am Mine kind of falls into that same category for me. Neither of those two songs take me to the respective depths and heights that they seem to be attempting.

So, them're the ones I'm voting out.

Vote to eliminate All or None. Can't Keep is not a bad pick for the best song on Riot Act

Surprised that these are the last two standing here.

Anyway, vote to eliminate Can't Keep. As much as I hate to do it.
