Underrated Song on Each Album
It seems like on every album there is a really good song or few songs that are underrated or don't get enough love. What would you say is the most underrated song from each album?
Here's mine:
Ten - Deep
Vs. - Rats
Vitalogy - Satan's Bed
No Code - Mankind
Yield - In Hiding (I wish it was played more in concert as oppose to Wishlist)
Binaural - Thin Air (This whole album is underrated and should be played more in concert)
Riot Act - Ghost (see Binaural)
Pearl Jam - Gone
Backspacer - The End

Rats
Tremor Christ
Sometimes
All Those Yesterdays
RIVAL
Ghost
Come Back
Supersonic
Ten - Deep
It was between this and Garden. I choose Deep.
VS - WMA
Such a cool vibe in this song.
Vitalogy - Tremor Christ
Way underrated IMO. Needs more live treatment.
No Code - Who You Are
Could've chose a few off here including Habit or Around the Bend. I just think this one grays overlooked the most.
Yield - Brain Of J
One of my all time favorites. Another one I wish got more live treatment.
Binaural - Grievance
Such a heavy song in so many ways. One of the most underrated in their entire catalog IMO. As someone else mentioned this entire album is underrated.
Riot Act - Arc
I can't even explain why I love this one so much. It's like a religion to me. Meditation or something.
Pearl Jam - Comatose
People don't seem to love this song like I do. This was a standout for me my very first spin of S/T and still is.
Backspacer - The End
Beautiful song that doesn't seem to get a lotta love. Classic PJ ending of a record.
Vs.-WMA
Vitalogy-Whipping
No Code-Smile
Yield-All Those Yesterdays
Binaural-Rival
Riot Act-Cropduster
Avocado-Unemployable
Backspacer-Force of Nature
I was almost about to say Ghost for Riot Act too, because that's one of my all-time favorite songs. But then I'm like, "dude nobody EVER talks about Cropduster!"
Vs- Glorified G
Vitalogy- Whipping
No Code- Around the Bend
Yield- Low Light
Binaural- Sleight of Hand
Riot Act- Thumbing My Way
Pearl Jam- Parachutes
Backspacer- Supersonic

Glorified G-cool lead stuff, cool rhythm guitar, cool tune...think it gets a lot of undue hate from Ed fanboys
Tremor Christ-needs more live love
Who You Are- best song on No Code
No Way-drives home why I love Stone Gossard's style so damn much
Sleight of Hand-wish PJ would explore this space, may be the most interesting song in the catalog
Cropduster-combines the the anthemic mid tempo style that PJ excels at with MC's off kilter drumming better than any other tune
Army Reserve-I think this is a standout on an album with quite a few middle of the road tracks
Johnny Guitar-interesting twist on their more punk inspired stuff
VS - Rats
Vitalogy - Satan's Bed
No Code - Who You Are
Yield - No Way
Binaural - Parting Ways
Riot Act - Can't Keep
Avocado - Marker in the Sand
Backspacer - Johnny Guitar

Vitalogy - Tremor Christ
No Code - Red Mosquito, Who You Are, Smile, Around The Bend (so many to choose from this masterpiece)
Yield - All Those Yesterdays

and not on album OUT OF MY MIND
Vs = Blood. Sure, us diehards get it, but if I'm ever introducing someone to Vs and dont want them to think its just the Elderly Woman Album, I go to Blood.
Vitalogy = Whipping. Angry, fast, memorable, oft forgot.
No Code = I'm Open. Life changer
Yield = No Way. When this happened at PJ20, I flipped some serious shii.
Riot Act = You Are. How people didn't just dig this song the whole world over baffles me.
Lost Dogs = Alone. Nuff' said.
Avacado = Gone. Quite resonant.
Backspacer = Speed of Sound. Why not so much love? No idea, from the demo to the studio this track is magic.
Vs - Blood
Vitalogy - Satan's Bed
No Code - Off He Goes (quickly becoming my favorite song in the whole catalog, for now).
Yield - In Hiding
Binaural - Nothing As It Seems (just not played live enough)
Riot Act - Cropduster
Avocado - Come Back (again, not played live enough)
Backspacer - Just Breathe (I say this one because of the "hate" it seems to get around here. This really is a beautiful song)
