ok but Animal is a 100 star song

Animal is great. A top 20 Pearl Jam song for me. Sad is challenging for the top spot.

Those guitar riffs, and the energy behind them, are apples and oranges:

Animal is a raw, twitching nerve upon which the tightly wound composition dangles like bloody sinew...

Sad is a tight, structured composition with a pop undercurrent. It's a really strong song, but it lacks the unique ferocity of Animal.

Animal
Hail, Hail
Faithfull

I think Sad is slightly overrated.

I agree, but I still like it. Its popularity is surely boosted by its status as a rarity. Also we voted for the same songs

Sad
Faithfull
Hail Hail

in that order

I changed my vote from:

To:
Animal
Hail, Hail
Faithfull

Initial 3:
Hail, Hail
Faithful
Sad

Now trying to boost these 3:
Even Flow
Save You

I also voted for these three songs, and I agree with trag about Animal.

The fact that Even Flow only had six votes as of this post proves to meet that RM is brain dead.

I never really loved "Even Flow," even when I was way into Ten. I like Pearl Jam to be emotional, aggressive, or weird, and that song isn't really any of those things

I voted for Sad, but in the end my 3rd choice was between Sad & Even Flow. Sad is one of my wife's favorites, so I went with that one. But Even Flow wouldn't be out of place on any ultimate PJ album.

I wouldn't say it's weird. It's very classic rock. I do think it's emotional & aggressive. Probably suffers from being played so much.

I still really enjoy Even Flow.

It would sit comfortably within my top 20 Pearl Jam songs, it's just up against three of my absolute favourites (as above).

Agreed, I never understood the love for Even Flow. The verses are okay but the chorus loses me. It's just kind of...limp.

Um, so what were you on about when you posted this earlier?

I just thought it's funny that Even Flow, one of their most famous and loved songs, had zero votes. I was not complaining or disagreeing.
