This one is going to hurt. Easy vote for Given to Fly. It's the song that restored my faith in the classic pearl jam anthem after getting none of that on No Code (and not finding it with Faithfull or In Hiding), and while the studio version IS overplayed for me, this is on the short list of songs I could hear at every Pearl Jam show I am in the room for until the day I die.
'A wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw' is the single most viscerally exciting 5 seconds at any show
Hail Hail is a song I respect more than I love

Hail, Hail is maybe the band's best song.

Would you say it’s egg rolling thick and heavy?

Putting all the Jack Irons songs against each other is absurd; it's the best output the band has ever had - despite Jack being a lame drummer.
Merkinball/No Code/Yield = the best.
Anyway I voted G2F. But HH rocks.

Way better lyrics. No doppelgangers.
