Look, Go is an A song for sure. One of their best. Everything about it is awesome. But Alive is Pearl Jam's best anthem, and best song. And there is no live experience like Alive closing out a show. There's a reason this is what they closed their HoF set with. It's the only choice.

I went with Alive. Always near the top of my list and a serious nod goes to Go, but Alive really does soar in all the right places. Like Jeremy, this may be the song we most take for granted. But it’s a masterful riff that build so incredibly and seems hand made for Eddie’s voice.

that big where Eddie's voice comes swooping back in from outside at the end of the solo is just a sublime moment


I think the RVM mix is the best version

I like Alive, but this isn't a hard choice for me. Vote for Go.

Go is the single most overrated song on RM. It's a great song, to be sure, but the way this place loves it is unhealthy.

Alive is the better song. And this is coming from the guy who doesn't love Alive the way most PJ fans love it. So...

There is never a better moment at a Pearl Jam show than when Go starts.
