Habit (No Code, 1996)

god damnit joey

Yeah, WTF?

Yeah

I hate Habit too, I really like Joey's top 10

I used to hate Habit, but it has gone up my list quite a bit over the last few years (along with songs like Evacuation, Get Right, & Parachutes). It now falls near the middle of the pack instead of in the bottom 25%.

And I agree that Joey has a solid top 10, but Sleight of Hand should be in there!

[The Argonaut]

This just got me listening to some Pearl Jam for the first time in a while and Go really should be number one, probably across all albums. There is no better way to start an album than that track

[LetMeSleep]

This just got me listening to some Pearl Jam for the first time in a while and Go really should be number one, probably across all albums. There is no better way to start an album than that track

I agree wholeheartedly but then I think of Last Exit, Brain of J, Like A Rolling Stone, Rocks Off, Gimme Shelter, Hurricane, Love Sick, Changing Of The Guards, Out There, Thumb, Let Me Drown. Hey I know nothing.

[The Argonaut]

<Go

OK, so Like A Rolling Stone is a better song, but Go is a better way to open an album. Can't be beat

[Norah]

<Go

OK, so Like A Rolling Stone is a better song, but Go is a better way to open an album. Can't be beat

I don't know that snare to kick off Like A Rolling Stone is legendary. You can't beat that.

[chewm]

I could care less about Go, I could never get into that track, in fact I still believe that Pearl Jam usually have pretty weak album openers. (Last Exit and Brain of J are great but I still dont love them as much as most people here do)

You Are (Riot Act, 2003)
Johnny Guitar (Backspacer, 2009)
Get Right (Riot Act, 2003)
The Fixer (Backspacer, 2009)

The first 3 are interchangeable and amongst my all time favorites from the band (Cropduster is probably better than Unemployable but I fucking love Unemployable). These are all great (except the fixer but it's still alright I guess).
