Red Mosquito

It's on the rise

HelpHelp because I have always thought it is the most underrated song on Riot Act.

I laughed.

I may switch from The End over to Yellow Moon.

Both could sit in the penultimate "Ultimate" slot without completely ruining the album, and it gets LB off the board.

SoH is somewhat tempting, though, because knocking out Binaural avoids a NAIS vs. Black showdown, and I feel Black absolutely has to be on this album.

Just voted for SoH

The story of the afternoon will be folks bailing out of the other songs and piling into the YM or SoH camps. High-stakes stuff.

There's other LB songs I'd take over Yellow Moon.

My Father's Son
Sirens
Lightning Bolt
Pendulum

But the additional question is are there other songs from other albums you'd prefer in those track numbers?

In a vacuum, I'd be fine with most of those (even at the expense of some favorites from other albums), but we're so close to actually getting a fine enough LB song out of the way here. I worry that future votes won't present such an obvious opportunity.

I really, really worry.

Everybody. Save your LB votes for "Lightning Bolt." It's really the best choice. Look at other #5's

Black - fuck that shit (fts)
Nothingman - fts
Wishlist - fts
Nothing as it Seems - fts
Ghost - fts
Marker in the Sand - fts
Just Breathe - FTS
Alright - fts

Yellow Moon should not be on this thing. Fuck that shit.

i changed my vote to Sleight of Hand. Please don't let Yellow Moon win this.

We should get Satan's Bed on this shizz.

All of those songs are better than Lightning Bolt.

Lightning Bolt is better than half that list, thought the 5 slot is super stacked. But the point is that most of those albums have songs just as good or better elsewhere.

Black - 5 star classic
Nothingman - great song
Wishlist - decent
Nothing as it Seems - 5 star song
Ghost - decent and underrated
Marker in the Sand - one of the best pramg/independent era songs
Just Breathe - not great, but it does scratch an old dad itch
Lightning Bolt - average
Alright - decent new song

LB is the best song on LB. If it could safely be agreed to ahead of time, I'd be okay with it in the 5-slot. But too many good songs means too much voting chaos, and it won't rise to the top. Thus, gotta try to claim YM here when it's within reach.

Also, I look forward to the retracking thread for whichever 12 songs we end up with here.

90% of Pearl Jam's songs are better than Lightning Bolt.
