I really like both of these criminally underrated songs. This is one of the toughest matchups for me.

I felt the same way, but ultimately had to pick Severed Hand as I cannot bear World Wide Suicide.

i actually did listen to both of them and basically ended up cringing through a lot of WWS

Severed Hand easily. The jamming at the end it pretty great. WWS kinda sucks.

WWS easily really. I kinda like Severed Hand as well. But just had a listen to both again and WWS is easily the better tune.

I don't like either of these songs, but as before I'm voting against WWS because it's my least favorite Pearl Jam song.

Severed Hand by a nose.

WWS but I may change it.

I'm one of the biggest champions of S/T round these parts, and I think there are at least 5 songs I'd put ahead of severed hand. It's still good, but WWS is so great

Severed Hand, almost by default in this match up. WWS is one of my least liked PJ songs ever.

By the time you hear the siren
It's already too late
One goes to the morgue and the other to jail
One guy's wasted and the other's a waste

Severed Hand has the second spot on the track ranking for me, right below Marker. Though, up until last year or so, it had the #1 spot. It was instant favorite when the album dropped.

WWS is a decent song with a lot of good things going for it. But it's middle of the pack on S/T for me.

Spoiler: show

Spoilered because I know most don't care and I don't want to take up too much real estate in this thread:
1. Marker
2. Severed Hand
3. Unemployable
4. Parachutes
5. Come Back
6. Gone
7. WWS
8. Big Wave
9. Army Reserve
10. Life Wasted
11. Wasted Reprise
12. Inside Job
13. Comatose

I second the "criminally underrated" sentiments above. Two criminally underrated songs on a criminally underrated album... Severed Hand by a hair... it should be S/T's setlist staple (along with Parachutes!)

In this one, I'm basically voting for specific parts of Severed Hand over WWS. I think the parts of the song like: "Tried to walk found a severed hand..." create a great mood, I love the almost sludginess of the song at those points; I like the moment when the laser intro turns into the actual song; and I like the musical outro (even with the sad fade). I'm not a huge fan of the "Yeeeeeeah" parts (it's like they were pandering for audience participation with this one) and the other pre-chorus stuff. The bridge I can take or leave. WWS is a fine song, sure, but I don't think it's held up well over time.

2. WWS
4. Severed Hand

objectively speaking.
