When I said Undone was in my top ten though, I meant out of the entire Pearl Jam catalog.

(Also, I agree, I don't consider it to be post-RA...that's why I said Swallowed Whole was my favorite post-RA song right now)

When I look at just the post-2003 output, my top songs rank like this:
1. Parachutes
2. My Father's Son
3. Swallowed Whole

But MFS and SW are basically interchangeable and I'm not entirely convinced that both shouldn't be above Parachutes anyway... so in a long, roundabout way... I guess I'm just saying... "Yea I agree" :D

Never hated it. When I first heard it I was baffled completely.
4 spins later and I was in love

And then in the last few days you decided you hated it all again ;)

No it never sank.
I just didn't listen to it at all after having seen the Brooklyn shows and how certain songs just tanked and almost killed the set.
I love lots of it but some of it just isn't happening at all for me.
No big deal.

Yeah I remember. And it wasn't shifting on ed. I just don't happen to like that song at all.
And I'd never shit on ed personally. He's a super cool sweetheart of a guy.
