    Or maybe someone just needs to buy them the Anthology book as a gift?

    If they took the time to play Sweet Lew than I think they could handle playing Get Right. There must be a reason though so perhaps Stone told the truth.

    I remember Eddie saying at the Detroit 2014 show that they just don't remember Get Right.

    WOW.

    I absolutely LOVE Help, Help....and Ghost. It's so cool to see how people gravitate towards different songs.
    I LOVE MUSIC.

    I remember it being an interview with Stone regaridng... the Philly 2009 shows or PJ20 or something. So I guess they tried it there, but it wasn't worth the effort at that time.

    Thumbing My Way
    Half Full is one of my favorite songs in the Pearl Jam catalog. Amazed by the votes! Thumbing My Way is a good track, it just always felt uneven in the vocal. Just never found myself loving it.

    Et tu, MFC? Et tu?

    I never would have taken you as voting for Thumbing My Way. I might need to revisit this friendship.

    This round will be close...guessing I Am Mine is the odds on favorite to be champ since it wasn't listed for elimination? I'm good with that.

    It's listed is just the 11th song. All you have to do to vote for it is just say your voting for it.

    This poll has got me thinking I like Riot Act a lot more than I thought I did. I'm surprised about 1/2 Full too, but I like to remain optimistic. ;)

    1/2 full = Green Disease.

    They're equally great.

    *** I Am Mine*** always felt this was far too middle of the road and have never enjoyed it. I know how much of a minority I'm in for this and to make things even worse for everyone I love Sirens - would trade it any day for I Am Mine...

    I'll admit that, musically, it has does indeed have an essence of cheddar (which can translate into "catchy" at times). With this said, I think what the song stands for elevates it to different level.

    (I doubt it'll win, however).

    Touche.
    I guess were are more drawn to actual lyrics than moans and wails.

    Oh, wait a sec. This is Pearl Jam were talking about. One can find moans and wails all over the place.

    I am baffled by how 1/2 full has enough votes to go already?!? Honestly it has all the elements of a kick ass PJ song. Meaningful, protest worthy, slightly cryptic at times lyrics, driving guitars and a bad ass solo. And that thing Eddie does with the light reflecting from his guitar is fun. Love this song it kicks the ass of cropduster all day and night. Cropduster is a nice little song don't get me wrong but 1/2 full is.... bad ass.

    You just explained my feelings for Rival being voted off early in this post. I think all of the characteristics you listed for 1/2 Full could easily be said for Rival...except for the light thing.

    Rival is a great song. Maybe people just don't like the guitar riff?
