Can't Deny Me
Amongst the Waves (good)
Lightning Bolt (good tune, studio version is neutered, a few meh lines of lyrics, great live)
Superblood Wolfmoon (great tune)
Mind Your Manners (great tune, fun live)
Wasted Reprise (it's basically a transitional track. Doesn't belong here)
Parting Ways (what are you smoking? Amazing tune)
Education (perfectly fine b-side)
Brother (this might be my least favourite early Pearl Jam song. I always felt like this is the original "meh" thing they ever did)
Barack Around the Clock (does this even count? Eddie isn't on it and they're obviously being willfully corny with the entire thing. It is really bad though)
Sweet Lew (if you'd even qualify this as a "song," yeah, it's bad)
CDM is definitely the thing they've done that misses its target the worst, in my opinion. It's ok at best. I could understand someone thinking it's the worst thing they've done.

Sweet Lew and All the Way are the others
Future days. That song stands alone as being the single most miserable low point of their career.

We really should do a reverse March Madness and crown the crappiest PJ track. I'd be fascinated to see which songs go the distance.

The over posting is also a nod to my early 2000s epic "Coach is on a posting binge" moment. Unfortunately, I believe those posts (and the thread made about it) are long gone, but I do have a tendency to binge post at times like now but it is starting to quiet down though.
No matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead
Coach overposts, but who is he kidding
I'm losing steam, going back to normal mode.

Lightning Bolt is terribly boring. The song.

Largely due to the fade out right when we should be getting the pay off. I was very excited about this song when all we had was a crappy audience recording from Wrigley.

Trag has had a staunch disliking for Parting Ways for years. At the very least, I admire his unwavering opinion, even if it’s wrong

I used to call it a poor man's Long Road, but I've come around and love it now.

That fade out doesn't help and yes I remember that recording, ha!
