It's the only pearl jam song I ever identified with a relationship, so it conjures up warm memories. I don't think the music is particularly great (although i like it in a soothing drone sort of way), nor is this an amazing performance by Eddie. But Mike's solo is one of my favorites, and I really love the lyrics in this one. It's a warm romantic blanket that ends up saying a lot of true things about love and relationships without being schmaltzy about it. Its just a song where all the pieces fit together perfectly. The lyrics, the simple guitar riffs, the melody, the additons of simple and pretty guitar parts layered under neath, the way the song slowly moves forward while never feeling forced. The song just flows perfectly. The guitar tones are wonderful too. |

Now we get to the rankings that REALLY matter Track 1 Last Exit (Vitalogy, 1994) Life Wasted (Pearl Jam, 2006) Go (Vs., 1993) Gonna See My Friend (Backspacer, 2009) Brain Of J. (Yield, 1998) Cant Keep (Riot Act, 2003) Once (Ten, 1991) Getaway (Lightning Bolt, 2013) Sometimes (No Code, 1996) Breakerfall (Binaural, 2000) Other than the last two these are all really strong. And nothing here is bad. 2-3 could go either way. Track 2 World Wide Suicide (Pearl Jam, 2006) Animal (Vs., 1993) Even Flow (Ten, 1991) Mind Your Manners (Lightning Bolt, 2013) Hail Hail (No Code, 1996) Save You (Riot Act, 2003) Spin The Black Circle (Vitalogy, 1994) Got Some (Backspacer, 2009) Faithfull (Yield, 1998) Gods Dice (Binaural, 2000) Those first 8 songs are all 4 stars Track 3 Alive (Ten, 1991) Comatose (Pearl Jam, 2006) Not For You (Vitalogy, 1994) Daughter (Vs., 1993) The Fixer (Backspacer, 2009) Who You Are (No Code, 1996) My Fathers Son (Lightning Bolt, 2013) No Way (Yield, 1998) Love Boat Captain (Riot Act, 2003) Evacuation (Binaural, 2000) Daughter, not for you, and fixer are pretty close |

Interesting and tedious exercise. Too many coin flips involved to count. Not much, if anything separating a lot of these tracks. The cover songs that were included in this were penalized.

1. Immortality 2. Red Mosquito 3. Black 4. Insignificance 5. Corduroy 6. Alive 7. Go 8. Long Road 9. Present Tense 10. Not For You 11. Breath 12. RVM 13. Do The Evolution 14. You Are 15. Sad 16. Can't Keep 17. Porch 18. Man of the Hour 19. Undone 20. Tremor Christ Seems about right. Especially doing a list this way, it really is one of those exercises that reminds me how much I love this band at its best. I can look well down this list and be finding songs I love and think of as Top 10 contenders. The bottom 10 ... 156. Get Right 157. WMA 158. Red Dot 159. Sweet lew 160. Whale Song 161. Hitchhiker 162. Soon Forget 163. Bee Girl 164. Stupid Mop 165. Pry To |
