Yeah this is a bunch of BS. Amongst the Waves is literally the worst song they've ever done.

I goddamn love Amongst the Waves. I'll never understand the hate it gets.

Force of Nature is so far and away a worse song that it boggles the mind. It's such a dumb mess. However... HOWEVER... I can wrap my head around WHY people connect to it, I think. It's just never done anything for me.

For this we will never agree. A divide has been driven between us. A chasm, unable to be crossed.

The End
Gonna See My Friend
Speed of Sound
The Fixer

Amongst the Waves

How many perfectly good friendships has Pearl Jam destroyed?

I’ve never denied I like Amongst the Waves. Been open open about that since the 30 second clip was released before the album. That said, it’s still well down my overall PJ favorites list. Hell, it’s on Backspacer in which every song sucks to some degree. I like DMB, but mostly live stuff and old albums. Before These Crowded Streets is a great album though.

I remember seeing DMB for the first time on SNL with my dad. We went out and bought UTTAD and RTT the next day. I stuck around for a while and do appreciate the musicianship very much. But there's something so hippe-broish about Dave Matthews that I'll never be able to get past.
