There's more I don't like but I don't feel they need not exist.
I find Sirens to be a really well put-together song. Nice composition. I find it enjoyable. Not the kind of song that sounds like PJ, but still decent. I find myself singing along.
I like Sirens too, my only problem with it is, big surprise, Eddie's vocals - especially live

You’d think I’d be used to this kind of thing by now, but
The lack of any songs from the last two albums is quite something. Every single song on Backspacer and Lightning Bolt is better than, say, Faithful.

Vocals took a noticible turn after Binaural (and maybe even before that). It’s like you know he can hit that note, make the sound fuller because he’s done it a million times before, but he doesn’t. It’s either the years of singing coupled with his drinking and smoking, or he just isn’t feeling it. Like, he used to use his chest a lot more. Damn shame cuz he has one of the most unique, powerful voices in music.

Why do so many people hate Just Breathe and The End so much? Those are two of their best songs from that album. Is it cuz it sounds like it should be on Ed's solo stuff?
It's music for soccer moms. Lame.
Yeah, both of those songs are "Pearl Adult Contemporary" as opposed to "Pearl Jam"

I don't know that I can think of a single Pearl Jam song that I wish didn't exist. Even songs like Habit and Swallowed Whole bring some people joy. I wouldn't want to take away someone else's joy.

Yeah but B-sides don’t clog up albums when you’re listening to them.
I hadn't considered this. I listen to individual songs more often than listening to an album, so it's normally a non issue for me. But...if I were listened to an album and a song plays I don't like, I think I would weigh that higher than a b-side/outtake.

I like both of those songs. But you already knew that.

I find Faithful to be a pretty boring song that wastes the intriguing potential of the first verse. Not a fan of the music or the vocal performance.
Supersonic almost made the list but it's over so quick and is such a lightweight song that it's hard to be annoyed by it. Getaway is close.

These ten songs are all in my top 60 Pearl Jam songs. A few of them are among the absolute top tier (top 10-20).
Five of those are top 25 for me.

Sleight of Hand is my number one. Faithfull, Evacuation, Of the Girl, Low Light, All or None, and to a lesser extent In Hiding and Gods’ Dice, are all songs that I like a lot. Classic Stip.
