I could listen to this song for 24 hours straight and not be sick of it.

Top 5 Pearl Jam song for me, easy.

No 2 for me. Only Tremor Christ pips it. Immense and jaw dropping live.

It's my go-to Pearl Jam song on the jukebox when I'm playing darts. I usually follow it up with Do The Evolution.

The fact that it's my 7th favorite song on Vitalogy only proves how fucking good Vitalogy is.

My write-up for this was pretty intense, eh?

Fifth for me, but the same point is to be made. What an absolutely fucking stellar album. That album still feels as relevant and exciting when I listen to it as it did almost eighteen years ago. And this song is unbelievable.

Shedding a tear to this beauty as we speak. I think I'm about to go off the deep end here...

One of the songs guaranteed to make you say "Pearl Jam, what the fuck have you done?", even if you don't mind current-day Pearl Jam.

Are we calling modern day pearl jam 1996 and beyond?

Just about every song written after immortality fails to measure up to immortality

I disagree with that, but then Immortality isn't even my favourite song on Vitalogy. As always I'm referring to post-Riot Act PJ

True. But i could say the same thing about Black.

Not a day goes by where I don't mourn the fact that pearl jam may never again reach the august heights of bushleaguer, green disease, love boat captain, gods dice, soon forget, breakerfall, and evacuation

Double irony, I like it.

Immortality + Eddie's little intro live. It's just sweet.

I've only heard this a few times live. In 1996, Eddie started it and stopped it at Merriweather. Saw it in Lexington in 2003 and NY in 2006. Both were good versions, but Mike wasn't on.

In Charlotte his solo wasn't just on, it was on fire. So fucking good. This song rules.

There's a strong argument to be made that Immortality really is the apex of Pearl Jam.

God damn that video is great!
