UNPOPULAR PEARL JAM OPINIONS

[Wendy Carlos's Twin]

"State of Love and Trust" is overrated and should be retired from live performances.

[BurtReynolds]

I don't like SOLAT, Brother, Breath, or Wash. Even at the height of my Ten worshiping days, I didn't care for any of the b-sides except YL and the immortal Dirty Frank.

I always loved Wash, and thought Brother was cool bc it was so obscure 15-20 years ago. I remember getting a shitty, god-knows-what-generation copy of it on a cassette through a tape trade, and thought I was so boss bc I was able to hear it.

[Wendy Carlos's Twin]

"State" is easily the catchiest song from the "Ten" period, and it bears no resemblance to "Breath", "Brother" or "Hold On", all of which completely suck.

Breath?!

[chewm]

Breath is the best of the bunch.
Dirty Frank, hold on and wash are all pretty meh.

[Yeddie Yedder]

I think the band opens with Wash on the last night of tour...or at least they did this for a few tours/years. Pretty special song. I guess that fits right in to the unpopular opinions!

I think most people really like that song actually.

[Norah]

Wash is the best of the Ten era b-sides.

[BurtReynolds]

who wants to wash my love tonight?

[Norah]

I've got your wash right here.

Right, that's what I meant...not liking it falls into the unpopular category.

[chewm]

Oh.

[PHATJ]

Wash is pretty great, the rest of those bsides are blah.

[chewm]

Wash is probably my least favorite of these B-sides.
Yeah, there's an unpopular opinion.

Oh, there's Dirty Frank too.

[Mike]

SOLAT is the best b-side and one of the best songs of that era in general.

[Yeddie Yedder]

Love the SOLAT. Really love the guitar chords. Quick 2 chord progression for the verses. Chunky and heavy. And the chords for the chorus have this great long sequence that builds up to a great punch.

Love the live versions from the Riot Act tour. Where Ed extends out the "And I listen" part. So good.

[stip]

I am excited for the Colbert performance

[VinylGuy]

I am excited for the Colbert performance

Me too.

[BurtReynolds]

I'm sure it will provide some entertainment on RM for a few minutes.
