I think it's really really good so I don't know if this counts

getting closer

Let me add:


I think All or None and Sleight of Hand are pretty boring.

I think God's Dice is one of the worst songs they ever recorded.

The verses of In Hiding make me a little embarrassed

Faithful is overrated.

And Lighting Bolt is really really good.

Life Wasted, World Wide Suicide, and Comatose are all awesome.

yellow ledbetter is one of their most beautiful songs

This is an unpopular opinion?

It's a widely beloved song.

I think the self-titled album is pretty much on a par with Riot Act in terms of songwriting; slightly less consistent than their work in their first decade as a band but still very enjoyable.

Yeah, Yellow Ledbetter has got to be one of their ten most popular songs.

Not if stip likes it!

Right? Guys?!

The ten most popular Pearl Jam songs are probably Alive, Even Flow, Jeremy, Black, Yellow Ledbetter, Daughter, Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town, Corduroy, Betterman, and Last Kiss, no?

define popular

Do the Evolution and Just Breathe get more streaming media play and individual (non-album) purchases than some of those songs.

Who made you the arbiter of streaming media statistics?

Those are the 2 that popped into my head while contemplating Laments post.

On planet earth.

Terrestrial and satellite radio play. Recognition by the casual music fan.

Like S/T, yield is a pretty average album with 4 great songs

I apologize for misunderstanding this thread

The Fall 2013 merchandise line was nowhere near as good as the Winter 2012 line, and I can't figure out why people act like it was. It was mediocre at best.

Still, a mediocre line of Pearl Jam merchandise is better than pretty much any other band's best line.

I hate this thread so fucking much.

Come to Florida and we'll go visit the spots where they filmed Cop and a 1/2.

Given to Fly is surely up there too - it's every sportsperson's go-to request at shows.
