The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
I started typing out something about "Come Back" and started feeling like I was just repeating something I'd said multiple times before, so I searched, and sure enough:
Kevin Davis wrote:
"Come Back"'s biggest offense is volume -- heavy-handed snare, wailing stadium distortion on an otherwise tasteful guitar solo, set in a key that forces Eddie to push his voice to the most unflattering outer reaches of its range (largely the reason that "real possibility" line has become one of modern PJ's most quotable memes) -- it sounds like a soul song by a rock band whose primary point of reference for soul music is other rock bands who have made rock facsimiles of soul songs. I would like to hear it covered by someone who could really hit this kind of song out of the park, because as a composition I think it's really solid. It's just too..."amped."

"Come Back" should have been Pearl Jam's first foray into authoring songs for the purpose of giving them to other artists--it's a good song performed by the wrong band, the heavy-handed rock presentation mitigating what at heart is a very tuneful, very soulful song.
Two March Madness threads where I voted for the other song.

I agree wholeheartedly with Ruddo and KD here. A ep or album of Cold Confession, Come Back etc produced by Nigel Godrich in a style of Beck's Seachange, now that'd be sweet.
I am sure no one can post a top ten PRAMG-list that wouldn’t fit in this thread.
Gotta try:
Life Wasted Comatose Severed Hand Inside Job Got Some Pendulum My Father’s Son Unthought Known Mind Your Manners Of the Earth (does it count if it isn’t on an album?)
...I tried. Not necessarily my top 10 (but close)...just wanted to see if it would fail to fit here.

well he has a 6 year term
that means Jeff Ament will be 61 years old at the time of his next contest
at that age, he probably won't be able to grasp a paintbrush anymore without assistance from an elderly care worker
