I've grown to like Rival so I'm sad to see that it is almost inevitably going this round. If there was another song I could have voted for that was even close, to give it a chance, I would have, but it doesn't look like there's another contender this round.
my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf
"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
Never understood the unfavoritism/dislike/hate for Evacuation.
of the girl??is someone pointed a gun on you???????

Don't get the hate for Evacuation This for me is a top 3 album. Will be tough to pick a favorite but Grievance-Sleight-Insignificance are top 15 songs for me.

Sooooooo bad live. I have no clue who is going to win this one because to me there is no classic Pearl Jam song on this album that stands out above the rest.
Only time I ever got a taste of it live was DC 08... and they canned it after the first verse bc an instrument or two wasn't coming thru. I was super excited to finally hear it.. pissed that I never got to.

Indeed it was. I about shit myself when those first notes struck! I won the floor lottery at that show. Almost caught a drumstick at the end if not for short people problems!

sweet!!! I had row 1 directly next to the stage stone's side. I was really impressed with the dc crowd and the mci center. plus dc is an amazing city.
Not a lot of love for Soon Forget. I actually like it, but I realize I'm probably in the minority.
I love Soon Forget too. Great little song with a strong message, and its style and tone goes perfectly with the lyrics IMO. Plus I think it fits in with the album super well.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata
But I have a hard time getting into Rival. So that one. Gods Dice is weirdly weak to. What is that song. Who wants it? Who craves Gods Dice? Wheres the chorus?

I'd take it at a show. Early to mid first set maybe? It's not at the level of Breakerfall, Sleight of Hand, Of the Girl or Grievance for me - that'd be my finale 4 predicion, but it's fun. Right there in that next group of very strong tracks on this record. Thin Air, Light Years, Parting Ways... all of em. Just love Binaural!

I got God's Dice as the 8th song of the show (between Why Go and Lightning Bolt during their first rocking segment, which started with Corduroy into Breakerfall). It was actually pretty awesome. I was stoked to see it and it fit in the setlist nicely (They also played Can't Keep right after an Oceans opener, which was amazing, plus Soon Forget to start the first encore. It was a Binaural kind of night, and I was so happy about that).

Wow. Where was that? Might have to check out the bootleg. In 4 shows, I've only heard Thin Air from Binaural. I figure that can only improve. Hoping for a Binaural kind of night the next time they play Alpine Valley East Troy, WI (shameless plug).

After looking at album again I can't believe it but I actually only enjoy four songs live.

Sleight of Hand is getting unfairly knocked.
