Third favorite Pearl Jam song

[washing machine]

Sometimes it's hard to pick a favorite. This thread is for that. What's everyone's third favorite Pearl Jam song?

[washing machine]

In Hiding, for me.

surface the north

[LetMeSleep]

Last Exit.

Do you mean which Pearl Jam song would currently rank #3 on my list of favorite to least favorite songs, or -- given that our tastes are always evolving -- which was the third Pearl Jam song to occupy the #1 spot over the course of my fandom? This distinction will greatly influence the song I arbitrarily choose to list. Thanks.

My top 2 have been set for some time (Release, Last Exit).

Right now, #3 would be a choice between Corduroy and Hail Hail, two songs that I kinda left behind for a while, due to their ubiquity from the mid 90's on. Over the last few years (honestly, thanks to RM March Madness) I reconsidered both and have thus listened to them a ton and now consider both to be among the best things this band ever did.

All of this to say, gun to my head, Hail Hail. It's got such a ferocious energy that can only be contained by the awesome musicians in this band circa 1996.

Parting Ways, right now.

Parting Ways, right now.

I'm sorry Reid's thread had this effect on you. Goodbye. I'll miss you

[E.H. Ruddock]

Last Exit.

Also confused by OP.

To Kaius and KD and anyone else who have expressed confusion about the OP: interpret in whatever way makes you the most comfortable.

[Thurman Murman]

Assuming my #3 favorite Pearl jam song....i'd say Immortality.

uh...off he goes

Oh, how fun. How about this: I'll answer both scenarios, and you guys can guess which song applies to which scenario:

Corduroy
Strangest Tribe

corduroy was your third #1 pj song, and strangest tribe is your #3 pj song.

Seems like a solid guess to me. I'm with darth.

[Kaius]

I think he has it backwards, actually.

I knew this would be fun! Darth has it right. As you might have learned from my previous posts on the subject, I got into Pearl Jam in 1995, before "Strangest Tribe" had even been recorded! So, unless it took me five years to cycle through three "favorite" Pearl Jam songs, it would be pretty unlikely that "Strangest Tribe" would be only my third #1 favorite PJ song.

This raises another interesting question though -- during what year did you get into Pearl Jam?

92

My third favourite #1 would have been Animal.

It took me about 20 years to cycle past my first favorite PJ song. My current favorite song is just the second song to ever be listed as my favorite.
