I enjoy controversial opinions...so which songs of Pearl Jam do you just hate? Even if other people might like them?

I already said I hate the first 3 tracks of Binaural...

I hate In My Tree...I think the music is kind of interesting but it bores me and the lyrics are also not good in my opinion - for some reason I just don't like this song at all.

I also really don't like Long Road...it seems like it should be interesting but it doesn't actually go anywhere and it just kinda slogs. I wish they wouldn't use it as an opener. It does nothing for me.

will you be my friend?

I hate Dissident and I don't know why

I think the problem with this one is maybe that the story is kind of cheesy? I loved this song at first but its lost favor with me because he's way too serious with the lyrics. Glorified G works to me because they have fun with it but he is totally sincere with Dissident.

I very much dislike Love Boat Captain, Thin Air, and Light Years

It's my favorite out of those three. Those are just off the top of my head. And honestly, I disliked Thin Air from the beginning and haven't listened to it in probably 10 years, so maybe i have different feels about it now

Haha but In My Tree is one of my favorites

Barack Around The Clock

Also I dont hate Wishlist though I kind of roll my eyes at it a little, but two parts I can't stand...

One is

"I wish I was a sentimental ornament you hung on....
....the Christmas tree. I wish I was the star that went on top"

I hate how he breaks the sentence onto the next line, its so awkward.

And last "I wish I was the verb 'to trust' and never let you down" cmon Eddie <_<

Nothing controversial here:

Leash
Stupid Mop
Sweet Lew
Getaway
Mind Your Manners
Let the Records Play
Future Days

Man, I love IMT, and Thin Air is great too.

I used to be really "meh" towards Breakerfall, but there are some nice live versions from the 2000 tour that helped turn me around (Lubbock, TX is a good one).

Evacuation has gone from near bottom to solid middle ground with me. It and Cropduster get the "most improved" awards.

Long Road is a little prodding but, as with most songs of that era, I like Jack's drumming.

Dissident, it's kinda towards the bottom of the barrel for me. I don't like Leash either. The rest of Vs. is pretty damn good though (even Glorified G, and WMA).

I'm Open sucks.

I'm not a fan of the Vitalogy "experiments" either, sans Aye Davanita. Well, I guess "Pry To" isn't so bad. The other two suck though.

I've never really cared for YL or HTI either. HTI and YL are to me as IMT and Insignificance are to Ruddo.

That's about it for me with the Ten > RA stretch.

After Riot Act (sometimes referred to as the PRAMG era), it's just a mixed bag. I don't like a lot. Gone, Inside Job, WWS, ATW, UK, The End, Getaway, LTRP, Infallible, Swallowed Whole, Future Days, almost all Backspacer and Lightning Bolt really. Avocado is pretty good.

Ok. Fire away.

I pretty much hate everything PRAMG. Well, I like about half of Avocado.

Before that it's only Thumbing My Way and Man of the Hour that I don't really care much for.

I should post here more instead of lurking...my kind of thread though, this is the stupid shit I think about all the time.

Deep
Daughter before the tag
Low Light
Light Years
Ghost
Force of Nature
