What do you mean? Like are the tracks carefully sequenced? Because hell yes. Sequencing is all the fun of making mixes.

Yes. If you just slapped it together I wasn't going to honor it with a listen.

I still can't make any promises. It's hard to make time for Pearl Jam lately.

I can imagine how it goes, though, and it's nice.

That playlist looks killer for me. Interesting considering how much we tend to disagree about this band.
This is (arguably) my favorite side of the band. I'm not sure about Release as the opener, though.

I agree with the first part, Release is definetely a great opener for this though.

Great list minus U, LV.

I appreciate your sequencing but after some thought I'd tighten this up a bit. I'd remove Sometimes, U, Drifting, and Betterman. Other than that I'd not change a thing and this mix slays.

I'd just change 20% of this and then not a thing

Okay, so I kept going with this, and my imaginary version of PJ released two follow-up albums.

The first follow-up got weirder and a bit rock-ier. Sort of early Flaming Lips-esque. A lot of people probably made fun of how much they sang about Christmas. The band seems to be having a lot of fun playing together. There are quiet songs, but they are never out-and-out sad/depressing. It's KD's favorite album and stip's worst nightmare.

1. Cant Keep
2. Happy When I'm Crying
3. Rival
4. Evacuation
5. Wishlist
6. In the Moonlight
7. Strangest Tribe
8. Fatal
9. Last Kiss
10. Get Right
11. Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town
12. Someday at Christmas
13. Mankind
14. Long Road
15. Let Me Sleep
16. Yellow Ledbetter
Then they seemed to get angry. Things felt noticeably less fun. Their playful buoyancy was replaced by tongue-in-cheek defiance. The music felt much more aggressive. Their quiet songs seemed to veer into more overtly gloomy territory. By the end of the album, a lot of people were somewhat concerned for their well-being.

Spoiler: show
1. Tremor Christ
2. No Way
3. Alone
4. Not for You
5. Satan's Bed
6. Corduroy
7. Whipping
8. Dead Man
9. Do the Evolution
10. Spin the Black Circle
11. Of the Girl
12. Help Help
13. Sleight of Hand

You're laying out your headcanon! You're one step short of "and then, my imaginary Pearl Jam hires me as their official on-the-road documentarian, and we all become friends and have adventures"

I made two Pearl Jam albums in my early 20s, artwork and all, that were comprised of non-album tracks. One of them was called 'Remains.' I wonder if I still have that lying around somewhere...

Anyway, I love this shit, LV. Great work!

BOTH OF YOU.

CALM.

I am not anti fanfic, it's just something I never expected LV to partake in. I think it's cute

I am going to write fanfic about your headlump

I'd read that. Maybe Burt could do some illustrations for it.

I've thought about making mixes of all their b-sides and non-album tracks grouped by the 3 main eras of the band. But I'm too lazy. Somebody wanna do this?

Whoa, that is my favorite album! In fact, my on-the-go PJ mix is basically a blend of your first and second discs here.

I really like that your imaginary PJ were bold enough to put a Christmas song on an album full of regular songs. That takes moxie.
