In the Moonlight is maybe Pearl Jam's most boring studio track. I don't dislike it. It's just never done anything for me.


Sad is no longer the revelation it was when Lost Dogs was young, but it's a killer song regardless.

I think Olympic Platinum is probably the most clever thing Pearl Jam has ever done. Granted that's a low bar (pearl jam is a lot of great things, but clever isn't really one of them), but I think this is a genuinely clever little gem. I'm not voting for it, but I want it to know that I do appreciate it.

There was some pearl jam song tournament a few years back where OP was the final song on an amazing team I had (corduroy, black, rearviewmirror, animal, a few other powerhouses). I'm pretty sure it cost me the win, but I don't hold that against it.

Vote for Sad

Sad is a good song, but it's somewhat overrated.
In the Moonlight is just an ok song, and it's extremely overrated (sorry chud, you are wrong on this one).

I'm voting Olympic Platinum. It's an odd little experiment that showed me a different side of PJ.

"In the Moonlight" is pretty much my favorite Pearl Jam song these days.

First thought, probably Sad. Second thought, not fuckin' sure. We only have 1 day to vote on these right?

I'll go with Sad. I've always thought it a tad overrated, and In The Moonlight has improved in my estimation by leaps and bounds over the past few years, but I'm not sure I consider above Sad as of yet. Maybe by next year.

Sad won the 00's section of 2010 (then lost to Not For You by 2 points). It also reached R4 in 2014, beaten out by Sometimes.
In The Moonlight's best performance was R2 in 2014.
OP is a R1'er.

Why the fuck do you boycott In the Moonlight every year?
Sad, but both might be top 10 for me, best 2 songs from LD.

I believe this is random about as much as I believe Donald Trump about anything.
