I love Thin Air and Evacuation, but the latter gets the edge. Grievance is good too.

Grievance has paled for me a little bit over the years (I don't think the claustrophobic feel of Binaural does this song any favors, as opposed to the way it enhances the other top tier tracks), but it's still excellent.

Evacuation has some interesting ideas that they arranged in as irritating a way as possible


Thin Air is pretty but I don't like the lyrics. I prefer later versions of similar sentiment like Future Days or Just Breathe, but the Thin Air music is certainly better.

I voted for Evacuation but I'll probably change it to Grievance.

Evacuation is awful. The other two are good - I'll throw a vote Thin Air's way, since Grievance is going to kick its butt.

One of the band's finest songs.

It is but only slightly edged out by Grievance.


My god what a band they were. It hurts to vote against evacuation because i think its one of the greatest guitar pieces they have ever pieced together.

But Grievance just has something extra. That outro.

Trust me, i know. Ive been a fan of evacuation since the first time i heard it. I love it so much. These two should win it all and shouldnt be fighting each other in such an internet battle.

Alas, im going with grievance.

Evacuation is the best Soundgarden song PJ ever wrote.

I don't necessarily want them to sound like Soundgarden either, but if it meant they'd write more songs like Evacuation then I'm all for that. And I also agree that Grievance and Thin Air are really good too.
