Do you fist pump throughout the guitar solo when it comes on while you're driving?
I ram into the cars in front of me, but with the fist bump cadence
That's dedication. Well done, sir.

I should have waited for the tournament to end so we would know with precision

This thread was obviously a knee jerk reaction so you could find like minded Yield haters.

Songs that people seem to like a lot that I'm relatively cool on:

Black
Footsteps
Yellow Ledbetter
Breath
Nothingman
Low Light
In Hiding
Breakerfall
I Am Mine
Save You
Down
Undone

I also think their cover of Love Reign O'er Me is probably the most objectionable thing they've ever done, even beyond the low-tide points of the past two records, but I'm not sure how many people genuinely like that beyond stip.

The love for Low Light is the one i understand the least. Nothingman is probably the least interesting song on Vitalogy.

What's remarkable about this list is how it draws from all eras and all styles. It is basically impossible to predict what you would like or hate

There's plenty of Pearl Jam songs I dislike more than those above but those are the ones that seem generally well-received yet don't do much for me.
