So last week I did 10 songs that seem to catch a lot of heat around here. Results were interesting and I loved reading everyones responses. This week I'd like to see what wins out of 10 of my favorite PJ songs. This one is difficult for me with so many of my all time favorites listed!

    Blood
    Blood. Probably my all time favorite. Tough to not vote for I Got Shit though. Love that one so much too.

    I Got Shit
    Aside from one of them (I won't state which in order to not offend), all the above songs fall between the descriptor of "good" to "awesome." Not voting for STBC or BoJ was indeed tough.

    Save You
    Very tough choice between Brain of J and Save You

    And fuck me if I say something you don't wanna hear
    And fuck if you only hear what you wanna hear
    Fuck me if I care... but I'm not leaving here
    All the rusted signs we ignore throughout our lives,.....choosing the shiny ones instead,......

    Leash
    Leash is a top 3 song for me. Has helped me and still helps me through the rough parts of my life. Everything about this song rocks! I think I'll go blast it now :)

    Leash
    While I enjoy all of these songs, I voted for Leash. It has two of my favorite PJ lyrics:
    I am fuel, you are friends, we got the means to make amends
    Will myself to find a home, a home within myself
    Brain Of J. and I Got Shit would be my next contenders.

    Leash is the "Baba O'Riley" of Pearl Jam's catalog in my opinion!

    Blood
    I love all of those songs a lot! But Blood is probably my fave there. I fuckin LOOOVE love love love that song, especially a really good live version of it. :)
    I Got Shit is a close second. But they're all great (MYM is my favorite off of LB... I feel like it's underrated).

    Blood with I got shit in a very very very close second. Habit would be three. This one was tough

    BLOOD all the way, it wasn't even hard, I fuckin' love that song and it was the only one in my top ten....all really good songs though.

    Anything you lose from being honest
    You never really had to begin with.


    Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.

    I Got Shit
    I got shit is just such a great song. Love the imagery of the lyrics. Guitars at the end sound fantastic. Brain of J was the silver. Is a great first impression of that album. Habit the bronze.

    Leash edges out the others but there is a 4 or 5 way tie for the next slot.

    I Got Shit
    I chose I got shit, cause I absolutely love it. Blood is ranging in the same area though. Both songs are so different.
    Please, Pearl Jam, consider a Benaroya Hall vinyl reissue!

    I Got Shit
    I voted for I Got Shit because it's amazing, but Comatose is my 2nd here... and since it's at 0% I wish I'd voted for that.

    Leave your hatred, on the cross.

    Comatose
    Some love for Comatose because I couldn't bet on "the field"! But for me it's still tied with Save You, Brain and MYM.

    Good list. Went with brain. Such a good opening song to an album.
    I'm like an opening band for your mom.

    I love this band. So cool a song that wasn't even on a full length studio album is winning.
