I full out admit my vote was out of spite. If a song with as sweet and as badass a grove as You Are has is going down, then it's not going down alone!
This is what happens when the masses vote poorly.
How do you see people here as voting poorly? Do you think they are not honest votes? Do you not accept the fact that we all hear things differently? What a boring world if we were all the same!
“The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
Kind of the flip side to the minimum-10-votes-needed-to-be-eliminated rule that was put in to place a few albums ago, I wouldn't be against removing all five of the songs that are oh-so-close to being eliminated.
"Get that garbage outta here!" (That's for any of you Toronto Raptors fans out there - which probably isn't that many around here.)
I have never, never liked Green Disease. From the first redundant line to the spelling bit - ugh.
I am in agreement with you. One of the few Pearl Jam songs I want to love because other people do but can't (Save You, Whipping, Blood, MFC, and a few others).
Ha! Monster, indeed. Wow! I love all those, including green disease. So, you don't like songs with speed riffs, punk rock guitar licks or driving drums? You must be of the release, low light, thumbing, around the bend, nothingman persuasion? Pretty sweet that this band does it all so well and has room for all of us.

Not even for a fleeting moment has this song given me any kind of pleasure.
This album is my least played one of them all. It's better than Backspacer, but I played that album a lot trying to 'get it'.
Listened to Riot Act a few times this past week reacquainting myself with it... it's better than I remembered it as.
Funny, I just listened to Backspacer yesterday and it's way better than I remembered. Got through it 2.5x on my commutes. Easy listening, only a few slow songs and good guitar work. I didn't even skip Just Breathe. I may have to re-evaluate my album rankings.
I actually wanted to listen to it the day before, but the damn album is their only one not on Google Play. Had to break out my CD for the car and realized I need to download it to my music.
So we're voting off the strong guitar songs this round I see? Geez, we're going to end up with a Can't Keep vs. Thumbing My Way final at this rate. I'd be ok with All or None sneaking in there against Save You in the final.
Thumbing My Way is a very strong guitar song.
Didn't Matt C even say it was his favourite of Eddies written songs.
(Late response to this post) Kind of funny how the drummer of a relatively heavy band like Soundgarden appreciates such a tender song.
Speaking of which, I remember a long while back someone making a funny comment on the hypothetical situation where MC first introduces The Fixer to the other three members of SG (as opposed to PJ) and the "WTF" reaction he would have received from them.
So...I believe voting is over and there are two songs tied for fourth place. I guess it's "goodbye" to all five of Ghost, Cropduster, 1/2 Full, Green Disease, and You Are.

Love Cropduster and 1/2 Full. Lot's of carnage this round.

I very much dislike most of Pearl Jam's attempts at punk. I'm a fan of most slow Pearl Jam pre-Backspacer, but I love songs like Hail Hail, I Got Shit, Glorified G, Sad, Leash, Dissident, Do The Evolution, Mind Your Manners, Getaway, etc... Those particular songs I mentioned just never hit for me. I guess I gravitate to the slower, mid-tempo Pearl Jam for the most part. Songs like Big Wave and Supersonic are a waste to me.
Edit- well it says wednesday, but also 4/27. So I guess thursday was the meaning
True. This has been quite a long round. It started Monday morning, I think. More importantly, "You Are" is presently NOT in contention to be eliminated (this round). What do you think of that, Mike?

I have no words. "love is a tower..and you're the key"...gosh those lyrics are so cheesy.
You Are is a gem. Most subtle lyrics in Ed's catalog? Maybe not, but it fits the song incredibly well. I tend to prefer, "If I'm the shoreline, then you're the sea"
And for Big Wave? Not my jam, but not a skip. The chorus...
I feel the need Planted in me Millions of years ago Can't you see The oceans size? Defining time And tide Arising Arms laid upon me Being so kind To let me ride
... at least gets my head bobbin. Some nice Matt Cameron work in that one too.

That was quite simply a quip aimed at my frustration of seeing my favorites go, heavily laden with sarcasm.
The Raptors are terrible and so is their mascot. Let's go Bucks! Playin Buckets! Fear the Deer!
I know... don't bother telling me about what happens with the raptor vs buck mascot battle. Oh wait, except that one of them is extinct! So, come at me Toronto!

The Raptors can suck it! Sorry, not sorry, residual pissyness left from last year.
Ah, yes. That postponed concert. That was a bit ridiculous, wasn't it? (Off topic: Even if they get by Milwaukee tonight or in game 7, they will be annihilated by the Cavs).

I used to be crustacean
In an underwater nation
And I surf in celebration
Of a billion adaptations
Got me a big wave, ride me a big wave, got me a big wave.
Got me a big wave, ride me a big wave, got me a big wave.
Suck on that Ernest Hemmingway.

I feel the need
Planted in me
Millions of years ago
Can't you see
The oceans size?
Defining time
And tide
Arising
Arms laid upon me
Being so kind
To let me ride
... at least gets my head bobbin. Some nice Matt Cameron work in that one too.
Now, Let the Records play?
That I can't abide.
The Raptors can suck it!

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 know... don't bother telling me about what happens with the raptor vs buck mascot battle. Oh wait, except that one of them is extinct! So, come at me Toronto!
