Round 1F: Hard to Imagine vs. Johnny Guitar vs. Cready Stomp

[LetMeSleep]

Someone look at the cd to check Come Back.

[epilogue]

Liner notes say Come Back is words by Vedder, music by Vedder, McCready

[LetMeSleep]

Thank you Joe.

[epilogue]

Happy to help.

Revised. I ranked all the S/T, Backspacer and LB songs separately by respective album. Then looked at each song and decide how I would rank them all together. I arrived at this:

Infallible
Marker
Unemployable
Parachutes
Yellow Moon
10 Billion Years
Just Breathe
Ole
Amongst the Waves
Mind Your Manners

Revised to reflect Ole, which I somehow left out.

[LetMeSleep]

Happy to help.

It was getting tense.

Not sure about you top ten though.

It's understandable. My tastes tend to really diverge from people I usually agree with during the PRAMG era. Not sure what that's about. But there it is.

[LetMeSleep]

I wanted to include Infallible or something from LB but I don't feel it. I think I like Unthought Known and Force Of Nature more than anything in LB and that raises concerns.

That's bleek.

The problem with them all bringing in fleshed out demos is that Ed has worked his to a point that he is happy. He has already put in the work. How can he put his stamp on a Jeff tune and truly deliver it.

so the breakdown tends to be ed tunes x5, plus 1 or 2 each for the others. Vedder is the conduit for all things PJ. He needs to believe in the song and he already believes in every song he brings in.

They need to stop trying to deliver pearl jam. They need to forget what they believe pearl jam has to be. They need to get back to the grind and deliver some art of sorts.

[epilogue]

I wonder if Ed has any level of interest in that kind of thing anymore. Obviously the others do, as evidenced by their solo/side projects.

[LetMeSleep]

I wonder if the others see PJ as a dead end for their ideas now. Its obviously Eds main outlet.

[epilogue]

Yeah, it's gotta be just a cash cow at this point. They get to be Eddie Vedder and the Pearl Jams and tour the world and support their families and then go off and make more artistically fulfilling and "experimental" work for fun.

I've said a million times I'd love to see a Cameron/Ament/Gossard side project.

[LetMeSleep]

I'd love to see a Gossard/Abbruzzese/Ament project. Those guys locked in so hard.

Can't wait for the new Shaun Smith with Dave A project.

Is there not a thread for this? Seriously, find me a thread for this.

[LetMeSleep]

Undoubtedly there is Norm but MM has a life of its own.

We practice fluid boarding here, friend.

We practice fluid boarding here, friend.

Goddamn hippies.

[ABNorman]

I'm pretty sure my PRAMG album would be about 5 or 6 tracks from Lightning Bolt, 3 to 4 from Pearl Jam, 1 to 2 from Backspacer, and 10 Billion Years + Cold Confession.
