    Aw, like Jeremy and Even Flow earlier, Bman deserves more respect.

    Absolutely. It got played as much as it did and became as big a hit as it did because it's a great song that people love.

    I honestly can't say that I think any Pearl Jam song sucks. Yes many I love and many I like. There are even couple that I don't like. However I understand musical and lyrical composition enough and have such tremendous respect for the artists that I personally would never make that statement.

    No quick decision for me here. I gotta do some thinking. Leaning towards Nothingman.

    These songs are the core of this album and it's a great album.

    Really? They know it? Do tell. How do you possess that knowledge?

    I actually don't think I'd say any of them "suck". As @shetellsherself said, some I don't like.

    ed has admitted at shows that "dirty frank" is a crappy song. I'm guessing a lot of songs are not played because the band knows they aren't good. Take "get right" for instance. There was a one show protest to play that song...ed said he didn't remember the lyrics. Now you would figure after that they'd probably play it the next show but they haven't.
    I recall at philly 1 last year Ed saying something along the lines of "we won't be playing that one again" after in the moon light.
    You really think the band thinks sweet lew and stupid mop are quality songs?

    True. However, aside from the four songs we voted off in round 1, nothing from 1991-1995 sucks.

    Well, maybe one could make an argument against DF.

    In the moonlight rocks!!! Probably tough to nail live, but not a sucky song.

    I agree with everything said here.

    I don't know how others are viewing their votes here, but I'm a songwriter like the poster a couple up. I will gladly acknowledge that nothing I have done or will ever do could compare to the band's weakest song. But I'm looking at these musically, lyrically, production wise and structurally. That's where I think songs like Nothingman show their strength. So I'm not going off of my favorite song or whatever. I think we are all looking at this from different angles and coming up with really interesting results- to me that's fucking awesome and says a ton about the quality of music we get and our ears as fans.
