I really love Pearl Jam's version of LK. I really really do. I never want to hear it in concert, though. But as a moment in time or as a random song on the ol' shuffle, I do appreciate it for what it is.

If it was a little rarity that I heard maybe once a decade it would be fine, ala Soldier Of Love.
When they toured here in 2014, when my in laws heard I was seeing PJ they put LK on the stereo. I've never wanted to punch so much. Actually, that's not true. There have been other times.

The late '90's were a weird time for rock radio. No small cultural phenomenon that -- during any given hour on any given station -- you might hear Limp Bizkit's "Nookie," Lit's "My Own Worst Enemy," Vertical Horizon's "Everything You Want," Blink 182's "What's My Age Again," Kid Rock's "Bawitdaba," Sugar Ray's "Every Morning," Stroke 9's "Little Black Backpack," Cypress Hill's "Rock Superstar," Len's "Steal My Sunshine," and Filter's "Take a Picture," all lassoed together under the dubious guise of "alternative," and still come away feeling like you've just heard ten songs that all sound exactly the same. "Last Kiss," with its well-worn melody and trite musings on the Circle of Life, was a sweet, fragrant bouquet amidst this heaping pile of dog shit.
I remember '98-'99 really being the first time I felt compelled to look beyond modern rock radio to find music that spoke to me. Maybe I would have followed a similar path in any climate at that age, but man...yuck.
As someone who turned 16 in 1998, this post/thread is bringing back memories I've tried so hard to block out.

I still listen to System of a Down's first album from time to time.
SoaD had some many fucking outstanding songs. I'm not sure I have a favorite album of theirs but I have a dozen or so songs that I'll still listen to and rock the fuck out.
The first two records are fantastic. After that it's all downhill.
We've had this discussion too many times. But BYOB is still my all-time SoaD favorite. That song fucking GETS me.
There's a lot of good stuff on Steal This Album! too.
Just giving Steal This Album a listen now. Another I can't believe I haven't listened to before

I get that it's a catchy song, but PJ have had a load of catchy songs. Last Kiss reached #2 in the freaking charts. And it's a B-side...to a freaking Xmas charity single.
Was there a watershed moment? I could understand if they went on Letterman or SNL and played it, but they didn't.

I like that recording of Last Kiss quite a bit, tbh, mainly because it's an actual performance. It's imperfect, a bit pitchy at times, overdub-free, and not at all digitally corrected.
We could use more records like that, if you ask me.
