Help Help is an amazing song.

help help is okay, but I never liked gremmie.


Very few songs I really care about in this bracket.

This match should be Deep vs. Swallowed Whole.

Not being a fan of either song, I really just voted for the one I disliked the least.

I like both songs in different ways, but figured "Gremmie" could use the love. In a weird way "Gremmie" was one of the very first "new" Pearl Jam songs I heard, having gotten into them after "Vitalogy" and only having experienced "Merkinball" as a new release. Probably explains some of the strange relationship I have with the band's catalog.

The original is better...

My ideal version would be the original but with Stone's backing vocals.

Stone's backing vocals are definitely my favorite part of the Pearl Jam version.

Screw you guys. Gremmie is a fun one-off...a genuine, goofy, irreverent and unforced kind of fun, which is something this band almost never attains. It doesn't beat Help Help, but I'd take it over anything off the last record and a handful of other tracks that have won matches so far.

Screw who? Varis is the only one here who straight up ripped it, and you addressed him in your previous post.

hearing the original actually makes me like Pearl Jam's more. Now it feels more like a fun cover.

I don't really get the impression that anyone besides Varis actively hates it. Even you admitted Help, Help was better. I imagine most people enjoy Gremmie for what it is though. It's probably near the top of the list of studio covers they've done that I'm most likely to listen to, behind maybe only Crazy Mary.
