Automated PJ Song Ranker

[MookieBlaylockMN]

Here's my dream setlist based on the top 33 from www.PearlJamSongRanker.com

Note: if I were to actually design a set list for PJ, it would look much like this, though I'd probably take liberties. Whale Song, for example, which is very low on my list, would make the concert since they've never played it live (and it's an inside joke among friends).

The number in parenthesis is my overall song ranking (note: I made two minor adjustments in the bottom of my original top 33 to get them on this setlist).

Comments are welcome on suggestions of the order of songs, if you see anything glaring. The songs aren't changing though.
