There's no way you could draft any better given the "rules".

Get a load of this salty bitch. No one wanted Foxy Mop and now Trag is big mad.

oh no

Backspacer and LB really do make this a near-impossible exercise. Even the songs I like on those albums feel too minor to elevate an album like this. You almost have to lean into the minor-ness to make it even sort of work.

Scared of Fear
Got Some
Dance of the Clairvoyants
Cropduster
Smile
Parachutes
Insignificance
Rearviewmirror
Let the Records Play
Deep
Better Man
Push Me Pull Me
All Those Yesterdays

This is great and a big improvement except for LTRP (second worst song PJ has ever recorded)

haha no, Just Breathe

This would probably be my ideal given the rules, with the caveat that I have no idea what Got to Give sounds like:

1. Go
2. Hail, Hail
3. The Fixer
4. Quick Escape
5. Ghost
6. Whipping
7. Pendulum
8. Of the Girl
9. Garden
10. Got to Give
11. Army Reserve
12. Push Me, Pull Me
13. All Those Yesterdays

No, actually that's not bad. A couple stinkers on there, but it could be a lot worse.

Wait until they count the absentee ballots. I want a recount only in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin please.

The Fixer? Lol. Lmao.

Push Me, Pull Me is super underrated though. Not a complete disaster of a list, but definitely worse than the one whipped up by our strategists.

It's hooky and energetic and the only song I would ever willingly listen to from Backspacer

i would take a song like the fixer over a plodding, hackneyed dirge like come back or comes then goes any day of the week

Just, um, listen to GTG once.

One of the wilder behaviors on the internet are people who read these threads and vote in these polls and comment on their results but also say, "I've never heard this new Pearl Jam song and I won't."

I never said I hadn't heard it

They are probably very bored/boring with/in real life.

how on earth is one's familiarity/affection for a new PJ album a yardstick of this? like every new PJ album I listened to it a couple times and took away one or two songs I liked, none of the others stuck
