Rotten Apple, easily. Such incredible atmosphere in that song, and such a perfect kick off to Jar of Flies, which is a masterpiece of a record

Pretty much anything off of Jar of FLies wins except Whale and Wasp, but Rotten Apple is a top song regardless.

Two fantastic songs. I love Smile though. Might have to give both a second listen later.

Rotten Apple for sure.

The bass lines, the mood, Layne and Jerry...

Rotten Apple is one of the best Alice in Chains songs there is. Very easy.

Yep. And Smile is still much better.

Smile is completely average. Everything about it is mediocre. Rotten Apple is gorgeous.

It took me a while to appreciate the majesty of Smile. Maybe someday you'll get there too.

I agree with this. Both Jar Of Flies and No Code are in my top ten albums of all time. Can't vote against Smile here.

I've listened to the song for over 20 years, I have always had the same opinion. Decent song, nothing special.

Even if I gave Smile more credit it isn't nearly as good as Rotten Apple. That song is damn near perfect.

Sometimes I'm reminded that this is a pearl jam message board, and I despair.

Yeah, Burt. I mean, I like PJ a lot more than AIC but this contest shouldn't even be close. And it probably won't be. Just not in favor of the better song.
