Elderly Woman is another all time favorite. If not top 10 it's probably pretty close

Ive never liked Small Town
its my bathroom break song live
its the first song I cut off if im making any soft of PJ mix cd
its a song I'll skip when I have the cd on shuffle in the car

I dont even like My Fathers Son, but at least it has a good bass groove

Small Town just bores me to shreds

Same. I don't like Small Town, and I really hate it when they open a concert with it at the expense of far superior songs like Long Road, or Of The Girl.

MFS is maybe the best or second best song off of LB.

I am as tired of Small Town as any song they have.

And I think MFS is one of the top 2 or 3 tracks on the record.

I still voted for Small Town. It shouldn't really be that difficult. It's a Pearl Jam song that all our grandkids will know in 40 years.

We all take it for granted now considering where the band has gone since, but this and Daughter were like a hearing a different band when it came out. Eddie's voice was so pure.

The opening vocal use to make me jump on Vs. coming out of the Rats fade-out.

Agreed. I was over Small Town in 1994. Its a nice tune, nice singalong I guess. Could care less what my future grandkids think of it.

Hmm. Small Town is so lovely. Its a highlight of the Catalogue but I certainly am burnt out on it.

MFS is a pretty fucking cool and great song.

If my future grankids choose Small Town over MFS, I'll disown them or something like that... can I do that?
