The top three are some of the most durable songs in their catalog--regardless of how many times I've heard them, they never seem any less special. "Rearviewmirror" and "Porch" are great tunes, but middle-of-the-road for me on their respective discs. I'm not super keen on the rest, but the last two are the only ones I have any real distaste for.

Must be the groove in You Are. It's awesome. Drummers drug.
And Big Wave has been a massive grower for me. I love it now.

I don't like everything about "You Are" but it's pretty great. "Big Wave" is awful, and marked the beginning of the one-terrible-song-per-album trend they've currently got going on.

There are more than 1 terrible songs on the last 3 albums. And Big Wave isn't the worst track on ST. It appears simple but it has a bull-ish charm. Sequencing doesn't help the album as the 1-2 of Big Wave and Gone pretty much kills the album for everyone. It'd be rare to find someone who loves that sequence and those 2 tracks.

There are lots of bad songs on the last three albums, but for me, probably only three to five unlistenable ones.

Am I the only one to start a playlist with all of my top tracks in sequence? I'm waiting for these lists to be completed (and I'm waiting to do it with the board) before I listen. It'll be a weird ending though as it may have a few closers.

This is actually an All-Star Pearl Jam album if I ever saw one. I forgot how many awesome songs (their best IMO) are slotted at No. 8.

Supersonic is the only song from the last 3 albums I never want to listen to. S/t has a few that are close

Strangely, considering I don't like the song, I'm going to defend it. Supersonic achieves it's goal of a light riff-tastic pop song. Big Wave too achieves the goal they were reaching for. I can't say the same for LTRP (i've only heard it in it's entirety twice). Am I wrong?
