Elderly Woman has been a top 10 track for a long time. Not for You has never made it that high, for all its greatness

Both good songs I have tired of somewhat over the years. As far as I know no one has ever held up a lighter or linked hands during "Not For You," so I'll vote for that.

That's reminded me of the Pearl Jam app which has the lighter function. I tried to use that ironically a while back but couldn't as I was longer a 10club member. Ceasing that membership just keeps on giving.

It'll lose but it deserves to win. It's still sublime even after all these years. No shame or anger in losing to Not For You, though. Either way, I'm happy. But I'd love to see Small Town rightfully pull this off.

I'm coming back around on EWBTCIAST after years of numbness to it.

So it gets my vote. Beautiful song.

She does. But it takes her a while to get there now that she's older.

Let's just stop this whole thing and say Elderly Woman and Red Mosquito both won.

Yes. And even thought it's kinda the cliche line of the song, there's still nothing as emotionally engaging as...

I just wanna scream
HELLOOOOOOOOOO

Yes, it's great and I'm not ashamed to love it as much as I do. Elderly Woman is one of my favorite Pearl Jam songs and sometimes it's my very favorite. There aren't many other songs that make me feel like this song does. Melancholic, nostalgic, uplifting and so much more. It has a very special place in my heart. I don't care if it's overplayed, it never becomes even slightly boring.
