Help me make a soft/easy listening Pearl Jam playlist

Post by mikejasond »

I am trying to make a playlist of Pearl Jam's soft songs, or just basically easy listening songs.

I want the tone of this to be calm. Something to listen to while you do something.

Here's what I have now (in no order)

Thumbing My Way
Dead Man
Strangest Tribe
Parachutes
Soon Forget
Sleeping By Myself
Future Days
Man Of The Hour
The End
Hard To Imagine
Fatal
Wasted Reprise
Low Light
All Or None
Around The Bend
Wishlist
Parting Ways
Speed Of Sound
The Long Road
Indifference
Sometimes
Off He Goes
Of The Girl


First question: Am I missing any? I considered Nothing Man, Elderly Woman, Come Back...but IMO those songs kind of crescendo and aren't really soft or relaxing. Maybe Elderly Woman can count. Maybe something cool from EV's solo stuff?

Second question: Should any be removed? I may remove Parting Ways because it does kind of crescendo and also it has like five minutes of silence and then stupid clicking noises after <_<. Im wondering also now if Speed Of Sound really should be there. Sleeping By Myself also has a full band but I think it has an easy calm air to it.

Third question: Anybody want to take a shot at ordering this?

I also feel like Release, while being nice and calm in the first half kind of explodes at the end.

I guess Hard To Imagine does too....should I remove HTI if I am disqualifying those other ones? Should I not disqualify the others?

I also think Wasted Reprise might as well go, its useless by itself, I was just trying to include all

Should I include Wash? It does have a loud ending but it's fairly chill for most of it.

So do you think the other songs above that were mentioned but not down there should be removed?

You guys didn't have to order it (thanks though Ill give that a try) I mostly was worried about song selection, I just threw that ordering question in in case anybody was crazy enough to try. I mostly wanted to know what songs you guys think fit on the list and what dont.

lol I wasnt saying you had to edit them in I was asking if you think they should be, as well as the list in the original post.

Mostly the question is which songs would fit in a playlist like this, any ordering is just a total bonus

Feel free to make changes, but note that I updated my mix a few posts later.
Also, WTF -- MikeJonasSound has us wrapped around his finger.
