Let's Rank the Supersonics

[liebzz]

I think of the Supersonics as more of a lighter fare amongst the more typical Pearl Jam heavy thematic songs, so I would list per album:

Ten: none - just a heavy album front to back
Vs.: Glorified G
Vitalogy: Satan’s Bed
No Code: Mankind
Yield: MFC
Binaural: Soon Forget
Riot Act: Green Disease
Pearl Jam: Big Wave
Backspacer: Supersonic, Johnny Guitar, The Fixer
Lightning Bolt: Let the Records Play, Sleeping By Myself
Gigaton: Never Destination
Dark Matter: Running

Some of these songs I really love, some less so, but I guess that is what it is. Whoever said Leatherman was also onto something. Also probably Down and Undone. Really almost a quarter of Lost Dogs may fit on this - Dirty Frank, Sweet Lew, Let Me Sleep, Gremmie Out of Control, Drifting.

I didn’t rank them but at least I tried to find the definition somewhere.

Someone should make a playlist and name it “Pearl Jam - Puttin’ On the Spritz”

[Matters]

If Ten has a Supersonic it’s Once.

[Birds in Hell]

If Ten has a Supersonic it’s Once.

But Once is the best song on Ten!

[Matters]

Once is the best song on Ten!

It really is one of them. Once has never gotten stale for me.

[Tj]

Dirty Frank is tens super sonic it got cut

[stip]

If Ten has a Supersonic it’s Once.

Ten doesnt have one, but porch is as close as it gets

[daft twat]

Ole?

[spike]

Ten’s Supersonic would’ve been YL

[McParadigm]

If Ten has a Supersonic it’s Once.

Ten doesnt have one, but porch is as close as it gets

This is correct. Some of you dumbasses don’t know what a supersonic even is.

this as a cartoon but with Pearl Jam's "Supersonic" in the title credits

[wease]

I really thought this was gonna be a Pearl Jam "Supersonic" vs. Oasis "Supersonic" thread

I thought it was going to be Supersonic vs Speed of Sound

[RockPusher]

This is absolutely the correct answer.

[RockPusher]

You know, it never even occurred to me that Supersonic was a tribute to the basketball team. I'll see myself out.

I could be misremembering but I am pretty sure there was a live performance in 2009 where they specifically rewrote the words to be about the NBA team

True!

Here is the version with the altered lyrics. From what I can see it is blocked from being embedded so you will likely have to follow the link to watch it on Youtube.

I dig “Supersonic” — I never understood why it was so disliked.
