UNPOPULAR PEARL JAM OPINIONS

[stip]

I never really listen to it, but when I do, I'm really surprised by how much I enjoy Santa God. The chorus is really, really cool.
It obviously doesnt belong anywhere other than the holiday singles, but I think I like it more than most songs from Backspacer and Lightning Bolt.

I like Santa God, don't believe in Xmas, and someday at Xmas. None are favorites but they're all nice holiday singles

"U" is fine. Way better than 90% of PRAMG material.

Aren't you proudly on record as not really knowing much about the recent material

Ugh. You and I just aren't jiving musically lately.

I'm a big fan of Someday at Christmas.

It's the word 'ole' that people have some weird hang up about. If he was singing 'Fuck Off!' instead, people would goddamn love that song. It's so stupid.

I think the lyrics to Ole are just fine. He's not breaking any new ground or changing the world or anything. But they're nowhere near bad.

.

They work for the song. Fun, kinda stupid, occasionally pointed -- I really like the "knuckleheads" line, that's a word that doesn't get used enough.

My turnoff with ole is the shine Eddie has on his voice. It's the style of his I like the least.


I do love the last 45 seconds of ole

I'm a big fan of Someday at Christmas.

Me too. One of my very favorite Christmas singles. I think I've started like three different SOTM threads for it.

I like drifting more than strangest tribe

See, Ruddo, here's a good example of an appropriate post for this thread.

Fine! I'll give it a shot:

Porch is a great song.

"U" is a lot of fun. Gotta be the original B-side version though.

That's one of those second look songs that I fell for after hearing RMers praise it

I'm surprised you have any trust left after "In the Moonlight" and "Around the Bend."

Don't test me, Ruddo!

I'm 100% with KD on it. It's the perfect vocal performance for that era of Pearl Jam.

Kevin Davis just gets it. And that isn't an opinion, unpopular or otherwise.

Look, apparently me hating "U" is an unpopular opinion.

U is fucking great!

But like, KD said, it's gotta be the original B-side version. The LD version can suck chud's pud, bud.

I never give up on people no matter how often they let me down.

Also, while hardly a favorite, I have developed an appreciation for around the bend's softer charms. Your average is pretty good.

[Lament]

This will be unpopular with some, but while he is not one of the all time greats, Eddie is generally a talented lyricist

Is Ed closer to being the the greatest lyricist in rock history or the greatest investor in rock history? And is Bono ahead of him in both categories?

I honestly enjoy a lot the Lost Dogs versions of U and Footsteps.

[epilogue]

I do kinda like the harmonica added to Footsteps, yeah.
