Of the girl is so fucking good. I would love that song to open every show. And close it down. Its so sexy. Sparse. The interplay is wonderful. Simple yet effective. Sleek yet vigilante

All Those Yesterdays against Cropduster was a pretty tough one. This isnt, AtY is a million times better than Of the Girl.
I agree. Although I still would have voted ATY over Cropduster.
Of the Girl is overrated in my opinion. I guess it is a nice atmospheric slow jam and something Pearl Jam doesn't do much of, but I still prefer ATY by quite a lot. Shame it will probably lose this match.

"Of the Girl" is a fine song, but "All Those Yesterdays" is Pearl Jam at their poppy, Stoney best. The "what are you running from..." bridge, especially in the studio version, is wonderful -- sing-songy and kind of silly-sounding, but also weirdly poised. When I think of why "Yield" is my favorite album, songs like "ATY" are the reason why -- quirky, likable pop tunes void of pretentiousness.
