Rearview Mirror vs Dance of the Clairvoyants

ughhhh. I'd like to see both of these songs win the whole thing! But I'll go with Dance to combat my perceived anti-recency bias.

This is a tie in my book.

RVM is overrated

Gonna give Dance my endorsement here. But this really is a toss up.

If pushed to pick just one PJ song, RVM may well be it more me.

And no one could fault you.

Look, Dance did more to restore my faith that the band could take a positive trajectory than any song in the last 10 years…but RVM is the kind of song that made me a diehard fan to begin with. It’s the Nakatomi Tower of Pearl Jam songs.

In a weird way, these two songs are probably the most emblematic of the band's identity in their respective eras. The early days of angst and catharsis vs the latter days of semi-coherent lyrics and, well, dicks being rescued by excellent musicianship. WTF is a calendar floor.
