In the summer of 1995, rather than watching some video about some war during summer school, I came up with a parody of this song about my friend Stu. It was pretty well-received by my group of friends.
Stone's melodic guitar part during the chorus is my nomination for "Pearl Jam guitar line that subtly makes the whole song work without making a big fuss about it".
I heard Jeremy the other day and realized I can barely recall any of the music in this song besides the bass. And Jeremy is a favorite. Which probably speaks to speeno's post
This went from being probably their most well-known song in their entire catalog when they were at their commercial peak to nowadays being probably the 4th most well-known song from that album today.
I'm trying to think of another song from another band I can say the same thing about, but I'm coming up with nothing.

I know this is posted at the beginning of the thread, but this just popped up in my news feed today. The isolated vocals are great. One of the reasons why its one of my favorites from Ten.
Ed's sounds great on that isolated vocal video. There was a video of Cornell and Eddie singing Hunger Strike from back in the day on FB yesterday and Eddie's yarwling was obnoxious. For a second there I was a little thrown by my negative reaction but this set me straight.
I'm pretty sure I like live versions of Jeremy from 2000 and on more than any other version of this song, that includes Ten and all live versions before ~2000. EVEN 2016 Jeremy.
