going from that to "or we could something else"...? oh, how the mighty fell

Not to derail, but this is an endlessly fascinating subject to me. I don't think I could ever argue convincingly that my fandom hasn't profoundly clouded my vision of Pearl Jam, and/or any number of other artists whose music I've loved and followed closely for a long period of time. I think this could be a really enjoyable thread premise, not necessarily just in regards to PJ, if people were interested in having the conversation.

Regardless, I'm a big fan of "Parting Ways" (and "Habit," and "NAIS"). All of that stuff is right in the PJ sweet spot for me.

I could probably count on two hands all of the PJ songs I really do not like at all,
Easily. Probably one hand really. That list starts with NaiS.
There. That’s better

"you only like this song because you like this band!" is the weirdest take

Apologies, MH. I glossed over what Trag said because he loves The Fixer.

Binaural should have been the one they went full double album with and included all those b-sides.
