I think RVM is the pearl jam hit I like least. It does nothing for me.

Leash is pretty good - the solo isnt very memorable, I didnt even remember it existed, but its nice and I hate RVM so I vote Leash.

This might be anti-RVM bias Im sorry

I may prefer the Leash solo that's right before the nominated section over what we have for consideration here. Or at least jump ahead to 2:34, where it gets really good in that reckless celebratory way that is perfect for the song.



But fuck, the end of Rearviewmirror is just about as intense as it gets. Probably the most urgent 30 seconds in the catalog. Just incredible. That's a function of everyone as much as it is the solo, but even still it gets my vote over leash

RVM

There's a pattern to a lot of these great outros and endings and it's all about that section of the song being a real showcase for them as musicians playing with controlled abandon.

Leash X a zillion.

I like RVM a lot, but I love Leash.

I like the Leash solo but this isn't remotely close.
