    this poll should be called your favorite live Pearl Jam song

    Yep. Porch is not that great on the album but live it shines.

    That's a fair comment... I'm sure many of us have listened to more live versions of these songs than the album versions - especially of late.

    I know I have.

    Forgot I was voting for the weakest link. If Black loses by one vote, it'll be all my fault...

    You and JimmyV can swap votes. He did the same thing for Release.

    All is good.

    Worse...I made the same mistake. Poor Black has two votes that should have gone the other way. Best song on the album, top 2-3 in the catalog.

    Less than 24 hours to vote. Can Black pull it out, or is the Release lead to great?

    Greatest studio song on ten, not greatest song.

    I'm winded... and there's still 9 albums to hurdle...
    By the time we finish LB, number 11 will be in the mix.

    Well, the greatest song probably comes from the first three albums. What song is Release going to lose out to on these next two albums if it has already beat out Jeremy, Alive, Even Flow, Balck, Porch....?

    I appreciate your question is probably a hypothetical one but...
    I think RVM might have a chance - or possibly even Go or Animal (although they might be too short/heavy) to win best song.
    Classic tracks like Daughter, Small Town, Better Man, and Corduroy would likely suffer the same fate as the ones you listed due their high frequency of play at live shows.
    Maybe Nothingman or Immortality might have a shot?

    Ha. Thanks. Still, this was me after voting.

    Clearly, I care too much about this.

    Yeah, I blame the radio. Has clearly resulted in some 10C voter fatigue.

    If we did a poll I would guess that Release would win for favourite Pearl Jam song.

    After we do each album, I may do the Ultimate Poll with all the winners.

    Ya that would be tough to choose. I think this a fun thing to do and am interested to see who wins for VS but it is a little flawed or people are taking it the wrong way. There your rules and your polls but the way it is set up does not pick the favourite song on the Ten album as people are thinking it does. Technically even though a song like Jeremy went out in the first round all that meant is a small percentage of people thought that song was the weakest, when the majority could think that its the best on the album. If 30% of voters think it's the weakest and 70% of voters think it's the best is it really the weakest?

    I guess that's what makes it fun. If this thing was over analytical and extreme thought was put into it... would kinda drain the fun..imo

    Picking the weakest song out of a list, to me, much more fun than just picking my favorite... that's boring.
