Angel vs. Smile

Smile, no doubt about it. Angel is super cool, but Smile is so good.

Smile is one of those Pearl Jam songs that I like well enough, and it's fine, but it's never really struck a chord. I do really like Angel, and especially given its lack of inclusion on Lost Dogs, still feels just the tiniest bit like a secret - the kind of song you bought overpriced bootlegs to get back in the day.


I have that Smile x-mas ornament, I should add

thats a very cool way to describe Angel, is one of those PJ songs that remain a secret yeah.

Smile. I'm not sure if it's a combination of somber joyfulness or joyful somberness, but it's wonderful either way.

I’ve never liked Smile

Smile is one of the reasons No Code is as great an album as it is 1 one of the 5 or 6 songs that blows that album into the stratosphere of amazing for me.

I've never really liked Angel, so this is an easy one for Smile for me. I like how much they manage to get out of something that's, on the surface, very sparse (I've always thought the comparison between Neil Young and No Code is a bit overstated, but that aspect of this song is definitely something they captured from him).

Angel is one of my all time favorites. But it's up against another great track.

No shame in losing to Smile. But Angel gets my vote.

Smile

It's Angel for me. I love Vedder's performance here.

Smile is wonderful and unique.

I don’t care about Angel, so Smile it is.
