See, I didn't listen to PJ until 2006 when Avocado came out, so these "iconic, status defining" songs are not so necessarily iconic or status defining to me.dimejinky99 wrote:Iconic status defining memory probably last song 95% of us have heard etc

Why though Stip?
Is it musical or mythology surrounding its placement and importance in shows?

Re: Song of the Moment: Yellow Ledbetter
I'm still halfway convinced that this song is the result of someone who is musically very capable making fun of Pearl Jam, on a level no more serious than, say, Tenacious D.

The shows aren't that important to me. I think the music is gorgeous, and it has what may well be eddies best vocaldimejinky99 wrote:stip wrote:This is a top 10 song.

Wow. Ok. I can get on board with that.
But just this week you have rattled on about lyrical importance.
So I'll do this again.

I think any song with the lyric potato wave would have to move up at least 10 points in anyone's rankingsdimejinky99 wrote:stip wrote:The shows aren't that important to me.

Re: Song of the Moment: Yellow Ledbetter
I can't stand this one live, and I had convinced myself at one point that I genuinely disliked it. Then a few years ago I let the studio version play through when it came on the radio, and having not listened to it in years, I was really taken aback by how beautiful it was. I still virtually never go out of my way to play it (and have no desire to ever hear it live again), but when it comes on, I pretty much always enjoy it.
