Seminfinals: Hail Hail vs. Tremor Christ

If you told me Tremor Christ was Pearl Jam's finest composition I might not agree, but I wouldn't argue.

If you said the same thing about Hail Hail I most certainly would.

Hail, Hail, I guess. Another example of two songs that work on a similar plateau. Insignificance and Evolution are probably my 1&2 PJ songs, and these probably hover somewhere in the top 15 or so.

Interesting (though I guess not too surprising) how quickly the non-previous winners got filtered out. Hail, Hail is the only song left that hasn't won previously.

That's how the tournament was designed this year: 7 previous winners vs winner of the main tournament (Hail Hail).

Oh, whoops. I thought the finalists entered when there were a bunch of non-finalists still left.

This might've been better, actually. Get a final 8 from the main tournament then pitch them against the 8 previous winners.

Fuck. I don't think I can choose one of these over the other.

If in doubt, choose the one which hasn't won before.

Guys, Hail Hail is great and all, but it isn't even close to Tremor Christ.

I'm gonna have to abstain from voting on this for awhile. Gotta get my brain right on these two songs.

so far this thread is a travesty. Shame on you RM, shame on you.

I love Tremor Christ, but I think part of what I love about it is it's underdog/sleeper status. It's a terrific song buried in the band's least accessible album. There's no obvious hook, and most casual fans would probably have just a vague memory of it at best. It feels like a deep cut that could only be appreciated by the die-hards. Elevating it to March Madness Champion status might be flying a bit too close to the sun; I'm content with my sleeper fave, and think Hail, Hail is the obvious answer here.

Decided to vote for TC but this could really go either way for me.

I'm going to vote for Hail, Hail since it hasn't won yet and No Code needs a representative in the Champion's circle.
