"The Fixer" has the worst bridge ever. It's just mind-numbingly dumbfuck.

Pilate and Supersonic are probably the best choices because their bridges are so far superior to any other part of the song.

neh, just a bunch of rare stuff and rare live performances

i think there were a bunch of random songs on it that Ed would leave on people's answering machines or something.
I had that. That was my prized possession as a kid.

Pearl Jam songs have some pretty superior bridges.

This does not necessarily mean that the rest of the song is inferior though.

Some pretty superior bridges are those in:

rival
yellow moon
no way

I think I agree. It's the volume turned down, reverb on, shouting that does it for me. The band were ace at using quiet voice on studio tracks in their early days. The RVM bridge, the WMA intro and the bit just before the solat solo as well. I think they do the same during the Porch solo.

That's actually a good one because everything surrounding that bridge is god-awful.

Chorus is terrible yes. Stone's weird intro riff and the verse are great.

I think I posted in the wrong thread! Have I mentioned Faithful and No Way?
