UNPOPULAR PEARL JAM OPINIONS

[E.H. Ruddock]

That post is pissing Ruddo off.

You're goddamn right it is

[Leatherhead]

Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town kinda sucks.

Not a huge fan of this one either.

Don't get me wrong, it's OK and I'd rather hear Small Town than anything on the last couple of records.

But for the time, it's near the bottom of the pack for me.

Gonna See My Friend
Got Some
Johnny Guitar
The Fixer
Mind Your Manners
My Father's Son
Sirens
Lightning Bolt
Pendulum

Would rather hear all of these over Small Town, most of the time.

[Rangi Guy]

Would rather hear Small Town over Jeremy

[Birds in Hell]

Would rather hear Small Town over Jeremy

Oh no way, I love Jeremy!

I'm not sure if I've ever felt a song is "overplayed". If I like a song, I don't tend to get sick of it.

[LetMeSleep]

Not sure if this is unpopular but songs that need a rest (or at least rotate these on and off for a change).

EWBTCIAST
Even Flow
Alive
Yellow Ledbetter
Corduroy
Given To Fly
DTE
LB
MYM
Betterman

If I could see a show tomorrow and only get 2-3 of those it'd be nice.

btw I never tire of Jeremy.

[Rangi Guy]

Jeremy's my 'go take a piss' song

These are the only songs you can safely expect they won't screw up.

I don't like it when they open with Elderly Woman.

They should stop closing 90% of their shows with Yellow Ledbetter (maybe throw it in mid-set for a change?)

I don't like Indifference as a set closer.

I'm really glad this has never happened at a show I've been to. That would be a letdown for sure.

It's happened to me like two or three times I think, could be confusing shows I've been to with boots.

[Django Butterworth]

Elderly Woman has gotten better the past couple times I have seen it. Used to be an automatic pee break, but now I'll stick around.

[knee tunes]

I love that they close with ledbetter.

[Coach]

I don't like it when the lights go up during the final song. Just play it like the others in the dark, leave the stage and that's it. I don't need to see a sea of 30-, 40-, 50-something-year-old men.

[epilogue]

Small Town is one of my absolute favorite Pearl Jam songs.

[William Bloke]

I will always sing along loudly and happily to Elderly Woman.

I heard Sirens the other day, it came up on Ridley's 2014 Big Days Out comp. I honestly felt like I was going to throw up. Song still sucks harder than anything these guys have ever done.

I agree with this. Though I haven't been to many Pearl Jam concerts.

Fuck that song.

[Ledbetterman10]

In fairness to the song, I did think it kicked ass the first night of PJ20. Why they played Arms Aloft after it we'll never know. Easily the strangest setlist decision I've ever seen.

Geezes the place went fucking dead after that. I couldnt believe they chose to play that song. I cant believe nobody on the grounds was like "uh, are you fucking serious about that next song?"

Unbelievable. The place was electric and then......pew pew pew......

That spot needed Animal or Hail Hail or Do The Evolution or something like that. Arms Aloft was just inexplicable there. And I actually like their Arms Aloft cover. But it just didn't work there at all.
