Let's begin the obligatory circle jerk for one of the most overrated, boring, uninspired songs in Pearl Jam's catalogue.

Fact: Sleight of Hand kind of sucks

Parting Ways hands down

Outstanding.

This is the third most overrated song in the pearl jam catalog. Musically it is kind of interesting but too ponderous, and the lyrics are too often overwritten with a sentiment no less subtle than Once or Why Go. I am kind of surprised there isn't a lyric in there about phonies.


Gods' Dice manages to be propulsive and boring at the same time.


Parting Ways is pretty, but I like the live versions better. It gets my vote here, but the other winners here are all stronger.

Stip is a real SOB putting Sleight of Hand in the same vote as Parting Ways.

Most of us are agreeing with you! Enjoy it for the rest of the page, since it won't last.

I don't have a favourite here, my vote can be bought.
