    Love both of them but save you is one of my favorite PJ rockers that gets cranked every time it comes on.

    I flipped a coin. It was that close. 2 totally different styles of songs, but they're equally great.

    Tough choice (sort of like the Vitalogy and No Code finals) but it's again time for an "Up Side" song to win.

    I am mine has a quiet epicness that Save You lack.

    Both are great though ofc, as is everything Riot Act.

    It's great, isn't it? A step below "Sometimes" into "Hail, Hail" but still very solid.

    Oooooooooooooh. A rough early (EST) morning for Save You. It was "winning" by a few votes when I checked about two hours ago. Now it's behind by a few.

    How did this song make it to the final round with so many other greats on the album? Y'all are weird. (I'm the sane one.)

    Me too. I'm sane too.

    From the outset, I saw I Am Mine as the winner because it seemed obvious. But as these polls suggest, people are strange when you're a stranger.

    A few steps below but I do understand what you are saying. And I am definitely not changing my vote. Lol

    So after listening to the album I realized that the album does sound better but I couldn't make it through quite a few songs. It was like nails on a chalk board lol.
    Songs I couldn't finish were: crop duster, ghost, you are, get right and all or none.

    I must say, help help is a very underrated song that should be played more.

    'And fuck me if I say something you don't want to hear
    And fuck if you only hear what you want to hear
    Fuck me if I care, but I'm not leaving here'

    Beats I am Mine every fucking time!

    It's also not overplayed or over used. Gotta give props to brutal honesty.
    Anything you lose from being honest
    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.

    You are consistently in the minority among serious fans, I wouldn't call myself the sane one in that case.
    You also seem to be the biggest Pearl Jam fan that hates half of Pearl Jam's songs lol
    Every album you have called songs bad and terrible, which is not sane at all, there is almost no such thing as a terrible PJ song. Johnny Guitar is my least favourite by far, but I wouldn't say it's a bad or terrible song, because I have heard bad and terrible songs before.
    My local radio station has a particular affinity for Def Leopard, so I know what bad songs sound like!
