Vote for hard to imagine - I think it’s a more subtle performance that goes to powerful places for a youthful band, and it has all band members in it.

Incredible live as well.

Long Road and Sad are probably my top two favorites from this whole bracket, and HTI beat out both.

I Got Shit had a slightly easier route to the final, but I think it's a runaway winner here.

I got Shit is a masterpiece.


Vedder at his peak.

Corduroy, Immortality, Long Road, I Got shit, Not For You.

The man was in the zone

I love I got shit. I do. But Hard to Imagine hits different. When I was younger I would have preferred I got shit but now I prefer the subtlety and depth of HTI. If given a choice, I would so much rather hear HTI live than IGS. It hits different.

Listen to HTI again. Then vote for it.

They're both fantastic songs. When I'm listening to Hard To Imagine, I'm like, how could I not vote for this? Then I listen to I Got Shit and I'm just in an entirely different land.

Opening up MSG '08 with HTI was a special live moment for me.

Also, Toronto '06 were Ed tells the crowd he has a secret during I Got Shit and he starts singing Cinnamon Girl was an awesome moment too.

I Got Id (I insist) is my favorite recording ever, but it doesn't hold up live, while Hard To Imagine excels in that setting. I voted I Got Id, but it's no crime if it loses here.

How could it hold up live without The Godfather? Granted, Mike can do a serviceable Neil impression, but nobody tortures that trademark style of rusty screams out of guitar strings like good ol' Neil.

Stone does a better Neil impression than Mike
