I feel like that would be a good track order for the album. Probably flows nicely.

I always go back and forth between this one and Vitalogy as my favorite PJ album.

Vitalogy has 5 songs that are legit arguably the best song in the PJ catalog, which is incredible. And that's why I often rank it #1. But RA is still the one I pick up most often. And I never skip a single track on it. Unlike Vitalogy, which has a couple songs I can skip and a closer that I almost never listen to.

I don't know. Why is it so hard to just say RA is my favorite???

I haven’t listened to this album in a while - since the last Pearl Jam journey. I’m overdue.

Save You from this sessions is much better than the studio version because Ed is not that restrained and down
