I think Yellow Moon should appear twice

this is a shocking and silly development

Immortality is an awful way to close after force of nature and yellow moon. It would make zero sense and its too jarring.

Also, "All Those Yesterdays" is better

We're doing the right thing here. Stay strong, everyone!

Interesting how this has evolved. It was a 3 horse race when I voted for Parting Ways this morning. I love all 3 songs, so I'll keep my vote as is for now.

This makes me wonder how Yellow Ledbetter would have fared if we included Lost Dogs.

Fuck that song.

It's the ultimate closer! I'd have to vote for it if included.

damn dawg

I'm just saying, if we're faced with a tie-breaker situation, I would prefer to see ATY prevail and may consider helping that to happen.

But it looks as though that won't be necessary.

Yellow Ledbetter sucks.

I used to sing ATY to my son when trying to get him to sleep. It never worked.

I can't believe Immortality didn't win this, but I do love All Those Yesterdays. I got to see it live once at a point when that was quite rare, and it was awesome.

it’s not over

we can still change our votes, force a tie, and conduct a run-off; or select a compromise candidate. I suggest:

Yellow Moon (live)

It's still pretty rare: played three times in the last decade, and only once post-2012.

wow man what did ledbetter do to you and why did you have to drag it in here like that!

yellow ledbetter is one of the best pearl jam songs they've "written". i know people are tired of it b/c its a staple at shows, but how can you listen to the studio track and not feel something? the song is incredible, EV at his finest.

I saw it 11/29/13 in Portland.

It's lovely, but Ed is Mr. Mumblematic and the guitar is very Hendrix-derivative. I can see why people wouldn't always place it on a pedestal.

Me too!

the studio version of yl is just eddie mumbling gibberish and a couple of solos.
