Round 3
Sleeping By Myself, Let The Records Play, and My Father's Son eliminated in Round 1.
Future Days, Sirens, and Yellow Moon eliminated in Round 2.

Again, you are going to pick the song that you think is the "Weakest Link" from the remaining list after a couple days I remove another two (2) songs with the most votes.
Remember for a song to be eliminated it must get a minimum of 10 votes.

ONLY 2 SONGS WILL BE ELIMINATED THIS ROUND

We will then move on to the Semi-Finals.

The poll will close on Monday (5/29) at 3:00pm cst.

    I enjoy these songs. But swallowed whole is the weakest... I guess... or maybe not.

    MYM should not get any votes.

    Need to go, Leland Palmer is being stopped by the police.

    I think MYM is a safe song, no risks taken.
    Set out to write a punk rock style song, almost an homage, and did well, but it's become a sometimes skipper for me.

    There are two kinds of punkrocksongs – The pointless and forgettable like Olé, Supersonic, Big Wave and the ones that has a message like Blood and this etc. I like it. :)

    There have previously been posts in which forum members ask what songs to recommend to their friends who are just getting into Pearl Jam. Kev/MedozK's album-by-album research is gonna provide a solid answer to whenever that question is asked again :lightbulb:

    I like it too, but am not always in the mood for it, whereas Swallowed Whole is always tasty.

    I remember dragging my ass into the house at noon after my 7th straight 22 hour day on midnights and my wife is like jumping up and down with the laptop.  "New song!  New album!  NEW TOUR!" and MYM comes blasting out of the stereo.  It was a good day.
    This album is great!

    Unthought Known won Backspacer. I'm good with that but let's get something different for this album.

    UK and LB are too similar sounding to my ears.

    I'm still baffled why they didn't play that more on the LB tour. It could have been a single!

    I view these songs as I see them live. Pj as little as they tour are known as a live band.  If it doesn't sound good live it isn't shit imo.

    I'll likely be voting for Getaway until the end (maybe Pendulum) but I too will admit that its (and Infallible's) live performances sound inferior to the album versions. (For me, this is rarely the case with any Pearl Jam song).

    Getaway sounds really good on the Seattle, Trieste and Lincoln bootlegs.

    Too many Moosehead, maybe. 
    I agree with the others who have stated that Lightning Bolt sounds too much like Unthought Known (the song I supported during all the Backspacer rounds). There needs to be a bit more variation now. Getaway or Pendulum will provide that.

    ..and, yes, LB sounds much better live than it does with the studio version (opposite of Getaway and, even more so, Infallible).

    ...and with only two songs going out this round, it looks like LB will be safe (for now).

    Getaway doesn't sound half bad on the Spokane boot, either. Then again, it's one of my favorite shows.. :)
