Let's make the Ultimate PJ Album: TRACK 5

[Birds in Hell]

i would love to see the delightful Sleeping By Myself slip into the ten spot

Possibly the worst song the band has ever recorded.

I think I would more readily accept Waiting for Stevie by Wotman Jam, which is saying something.

pearl jam sucks now

[E.H. Ruddock]

trag in here trying to be all gimmicky

i'm sticking with sirens, followed closely by future days, followed by come back, followed by comes then goes.

What do you expect? It is mostly comprised of middle aged, white Gen Xers.

[stip]

that was just an observation

[stip]

pearl jam started making music for millenials but forgot to get millenial fans

[tommy]

What's the ratio of millennials to gen xers here? I'm barely a millennial (born in 84)

Not all feelings, just feelings that are coded.... you know what, never mind.

You're right. They really do.

What's the ratio of millennials to gen xers here? I'm barely a millennial (born in 84)

Probably more Xennials than anything else (born between 1977-1983).

[Jaeti]

This is what's left. Think carefully. Bolded songs are my preferred picks given the rules of the exercise (Lightning Bolt, woof...).

Lightning Bolt
My Father's Son
Lightning Bolt
Pendulum
Sleeping By Myself
Yellow Moon

Wow, this is grim.

My Father's Son is by far the best option remaining.

A huge problem all along has been not pre-resigning ourselves to put Pendulum on this thing. It's not a great song, but for this exercise it lets you drop something of a "reset" track in the middle. Its atmospheric in a way that makes it pretty easy to justify its presence.

[Anders]

Milennials are old as f now. My daughter is two generations past them.

[epilogue]

What's the ratio of millennials to gen xers here? I'm barely a millennial (born in 84)

Probably more Xennials than anything else (born between 1977-1983).

What's the point in sub-dividing the arbitrary and made-up generational labels?

We deserve Donald Trump.

[Anders]

Gen Y are the Milennials.

As a Xennial myself, I’ve spent a good amount of time thinking on this and I believe the subdivision has merit. I was six when my school had three personal computers it shared on little push carts; my teenage years relied on pavers rather than cell phones, while cell phones became a common accessory in my early 20s.

I went from Atari 2600 to playing PS4 online with my friends; I saw the crack epidemic in the news and had DARE shoved down my throat in school.

There are more examples of these sorts of “edge network” cultural experiences that people just a few years older than me either missed as a formative piece of their adolescence; and a few years younger than me missed entirely.

Also Pendulum is a bad song. Most xennials know that.

Right. But since these divides are completely made-up by... who exactly? ... maybe just move the year/age range by a year and two and put them in whichever cheekily-named category best fits?

Or just abandon the exercise all together because what does it really serve?

[Anders]

My Father’s Son is a poor song.

[epilogue]

I like it.
