I was actually just referring to this post from Feb 2016. I have no second accounts, and I really do not care about who wins or loses at March Madness.
I wasn't accusing you. Kind of strange how defensive you got though.
I doth protest too much, methinks

I can see what you're all saying with Habit and it HAS grown on me over the years. I first heard it at Soldier Field where I thought he was saying, "Never thought you'd have it..."

Anyway, it underwhelmed me from the start. Then I slowly woke up to its pleasures.

But that's not enough to beat Smile. That fuckin' chorus, man.

I'd gladly take a whole album of that style from them now, with or without Neil Young.

The raucous ending of Habit is one of my favorite moments in the PJ catalog, but I think I like Smile better. It still eludes me live :(

Yep. I'd go so far as to say it's the case for ALL Pearl Jam songs.

Now, I'm convinced it's you. I was 100% sure it was someone else (not Argo, either). But now I know I was wrong. How many accounts do you NEED, applesauce vangurttle?
