Vote for hard to imagine - I think it’s a more subtle performance that goes to powerful places for a youthful band, and it has all band members in it.

Incredible live as well.

HtI for me too.

Hard To Imagine and this time it really isn't close.

I Got Shit

Long Road and Sad are probably my top two favorites from this whole bracket, and HTI beat out both.

I Got Shit had a slightly easier route to the final, but I think it's a runaway winner here.

I got Shit is a masterpiece.

Vedder at his peak.

Corduroy, Immortality, Long Road, I Got shit, Not For You.

The man was in the zone

I love I got shit. I do. But Hard to Imagine hits different. When I was younger I would have preferred I got shit but now I prefer the subtlety and depth of HTI. If given a choice, I would so much rather hear HTI live than IGS. It hits different.

Listen to HTI again. Then vote for it.

HTI is pretty but I Got Shit is perfect Pearl Jam for this here fan.

They're both fantastic songs. When I'm listening to Hard To Imagine, I'm like, how could I not vote for this? Then I listen to I Got Shit and I'm just in an entirely different land.

Opening up MSG '08 with HTI was a special live moment for me.

Also, Toronto '06 were Ed tells the crowd he has a secret during I Got Shit and he starts singing Cinnamon Girl was an awesome moment too.

i could go either way on these. I love the love that HTI is getting this year though

I Got Id (I insist) is my favorite recording ever, but it doesn't hold up live, while Hard To Imagine excels in that setting. I voted I Got Id, but it's no crime if it loses here.

How could it hold up live without The Godfather? Granted, Mike can do a serviceable Neil impression, but nobody tortures that trademark style of rusty screams out of guitar strings like good ol' Neil.

Stone does a better Neil impression than Mike
