Time for a tournament. March Madness first-round exits and all other B-sides can get spots.

I genuinely love Sweet Lew.

But Black Red Yellow is a good call, you can add that to my list too.

EVACUATION.
As long as I live, I will never understand what people don't like about the Evacuation chorus.

These ones don't hit the spot for me for various reasons:

Footsteps
Yellow Ledbetter
Angel
Nothingman
I'm Open
Low Light
Driftin'
Breakerfall
Parting Ways
Light Years
Save You
Thumbing My Way
Down
Undone
World Wide Suicide
Come Back
Got Some
Unthought Known
Force of Nature
Sirens
Pendulum
Sleeping By Myself
Yellow Moon
Future Days

I also really, really can't stand their cover of Love Reign O'er Me.

The Ed solo version didn't bother me but I think Sleeping By Myself is my least favourite Pearl Jam song of all time, even considering Future Days.
Huge, huge fan of the bolded ones, Nothingman, Parting Ways, Low Light and Angel are all time favorites of mine. Top 20 for sure, some might be top 10.

Some songs that do little to nothing for me are:
Why Go
Deep
Dirty Frank
Alone
Wash (it might be because of the Lost Dogs version, which I really hate)
Hold On
Rats
Blood
Habit
Lukin
1/2 Full
Comatose
Gonna See My Friend
Just Breathe
Unthought Known
The End
Mind Your Manners
Infallible
Pendulum
Let the Records Play
Future Days (which is the only song that I would label as "terrible)

This is pretty much it, and I guess that some of these are just forgettable, I enjoy them when I listen to them.

Haha, yeah, I think it's one of the best things they've done in the last decade.

Got that Gossard groove, man.

I know why. Because it's not very good.

It has a great bridge. That alone ranks it above every song on Lightning Bolt
