Brain of J. With a band that tends to have stellar album openers, this sits near the top. I always liked how Eddie was able to combine the two singing styles he relegated to separate songs in No Code; the verse of BOJ is pure Habit/Lukin screaming, but the chorus is melodic in a way like some of the slower, more tuneful stuff on No Code was.

Jack's opening drum fill on BOJ might be the greatest moment in the entire PJ catalog.

Whale Song is surprisingly good but it certainly isn't a Brain of J or Sometimes!

This is a tough choice for me. Sometimes is really great IMO, but Brain of J is one of their best songs.

Sometimes is a fantastic song but Brain Of J is why I'm still talking about this fucking band.

Sometimes into Hail Hail is probably my favorite moment in all of Pearl Jam's music, but as I basically view Sometimes as an intro to Hail, Hail, I'll go with the Brains.

Ugh man both Sometimes and Brain of J should be moving on. Such great openers. I'm not sure what to vote for.

BoJ really easily here. What a fantastic song.

And I must say that I'm looking forward to further installments of this particular voting style:

I have actually checked that out. I had great things to add to that thread but utterly disappointed myself with my absolute lack of follow through.

Oi vay.
