wrong.
I Got Shit / Long Road
Is this a single or an EP? (either way, it's amazing)

Isn't that an EP, though?
The NAIS single with Insignificance and the BSB versions of Footsteps and Betterman is up there, somewhere. As is the 1992 Alive single.

Ah that's the one that got me into Pearl Jam. Maybe I'll be a little more specific. Best album single the band has released.
Merkinball might be one of my favorite things the band has released period.
Yeah, I wish the band would do more of these (edit: I guess they sorta did this with Olé). Just release Of The Earth this way, with another song, and shut everyone up about it... don't have to worry about it fitting into an album

I think it's classed as a single - it reached #7 on the Hot 100 which, bizzarely, is their second best performing song on that chart after Last Kiss.

The problem of using Of The Earth as a B-side is that no one buys physical singles anymore, so using it as bait for people to buy it wouldn't work.
That would be awesome though.

the Jeremy single has to rank up there in terms of being iconic and important to the band

Remember page 579 of this thread? I'll always cherish how great this thread was back then.

Not as a b-side, but as a stand-alone 2-3 song EP, like Merkinball

Great way to release it for sure.
It certainly takes away the excuse of it not "fitting" on an album.

Sure, sure.
It's a shame the only other time they've done a non-album single/ep was Last Kiss. And that was basically forced out of them.

I think Man of The Hour would qualify as a non-album single.
