Song of the Moment: Ghost

[philpritchard]

it occurred to me the other day that REM's Accelerate and Ghost are pretty similar songs. It made me like ghost even more

Hmm I hadn't thought of that before, but good point.

This is a great song, Jeff was in such a songwriting groove for binaural and riot act.

[taffer]

Love it, this one is my favorite tune from the 2002-album , the studio version is simple amazing, heaviest as f*ck

not sure what the boom is doing on "live at the showbox" of the version of song , seriously

I love the studio version, but they've never seem to be able to capture it live. Then again, I think 90% of all PJ is better in the studio.

They don´t know how to play it live, but some of the 2003 are ok. Alpine 2011 was very good too.

[Lament]

I don't think they played this at Alpine in 2011 (at least I have no recollection of them doing so).

I remember the Philly 09 version being good, but I might be mistaken.

Ome of my favorites from Riot Act, great track.

[LikeLukin]

The reviving of this thread got me to listen to Riot Act for the first time in probably years on the way to work this morning. Fuck, I forgot how much I do enjoy that album. Ghost was just kicking in as I parked, so it'll have to wait for the Friday afternoon drive home.

[Anders]

Is there an alternative mix out there without the backing vocals?

[bada]

I used to hate HATE this song then one day I realized it wasn't so bad. Good even.

[EJ]

It might be the song I've had the most change of heart on in their catalog. I thought it was terrible for years. I've finally come around to it. Its a good tune. Great guitar work in this one.

[Thurman Murman]

I don't dislike it, but for me Ghost and to a slightly lesser extent Cropduster, have always been very forgettable songs. I can listen to it and kind of like it, but if i haven't heard it for an extended period of time i can't for the life of me remember how it goes.

3.5 sandwiches for me.

[LetMeSleep]

I really like this track and it works really well after Cropduster. Probably 3.6-3.7 so I gave it 4 bones.

I don't think this is an indication of a songs merit. Although, if it is, it could very well be an indication that it is a good song.

[Juvenal]

Mike's guitar sounds good on this song, but the verses are so fucking boring.

i like ghost quite a bit, but I wonder if I'd like it less if it were on a stronger albums.

Probably not. I mostly listen to pearl jam on shuffle anyway
