We are continuing to evaluate LP #1 from the Greatest Hits release Rearviewmirror.
We will get a winner from each LP and those 4 will compete to find the Ultimate Champion..

So far for LP 1:
Dissident and Jeremy eliminated Round 1

For anyone new to the game:
You are going to pick the song that you think is the "Weakest Link" after 2 days I remove the two (2) songs with the most votes.
We will then move on to Round 3. - Remember you are voting to eliminate songs from contention.

Have FUN!

Poll will close on Wednesday, 6/28 at 3:00pm cst

    Voted the same. Was tough both times. I really like Once a lot. Just a slight bit less than the others.

    If it doesn't it means something has gone wrong. Which has happened before...

    I'm still confused on what we are going for. I'm voting for my least favorite song, but then you say that we are voting to remove it from contention. So is the end result to find the best song or worst song?

    The end result is to see the best song standing. So we vote for our least favorite in each round, which means the strongest will remain. :)

    You pick the 'Weakest' song from each group. The 2 songs with the most votes are removed and you do the same thing the next round. So what you should have at the end is the strongest song.

    Geez...lots of votes for Animal early on! I thought it might have the best chance at beating Alive (not that it should, mind you).

    I almost voted for "Once" but glad I didn't.  Kind of hoping this will be a close race... as it should!

    It's kind of like using reverse psychology... only it's not... I know, now I've gone and added to the confusion, :lol:

    I screwed up the very first round in the very first weakest link poll.  So I just keep reminding myself- VOTE FOR THE ONE YOU LIKE LEAST (i.e the weakest)!

    I am having so much trouble voting.

    Even Flow was my gateway drug, but at this point I've heard it enough that I'd rather hear SOLAT live.

    Amazing how our preferences change over time.

    And I won't vote "Once". That one holds a special place in my heart.

    Even Flow hasn't aged as well as a lot of the other songs, has it? I mean, it's a Pearl Jam classic - I would never doubt its historical importance to the band. It's an essential track.However, they play songs like Alive, Black, RVM, Corduroy, Better Man, Given To Fly, and even Do The Evolution just as much (or almost as much) as they do Even Flow nowadays but when it comes on any given bootleg that I'm listening to, I tend to tune it out (I still don't dare skip it) which doesn't tend to happen with the others.

    There are many other piss break songs other than this classic.  May I direct your attention to most of RA or Lost Dogs. Or the super fanatical fans that want a white whale song that no one else wants to hear. Sad gruf,

    On a bootleg....okay I must admit I skip E-Flow quite a bit. At a show, I rock the fuck out! Still packs a huge punch for me live! Each to there own but a piss break song is when I have to piss haha. Usually an emergency because I've tried to hold it for 5 other great tunes lol

    True. I don't recall ever going on a beer run during Even Flow (mind you, I haven't seen that many shows) which is probably for the best with so many others going about their "business" during this song. It's still a classic to me and am happy to see it performed when I'm at a show. However, it just doesn't pack that big of a wallop when I'm listening to a bootleg.

    If you are pissing during Evenflow you are missing McCready's insane solo. Mike's guitar is a big reason why I've been following this band for so long. I don't piss during Evenflow.

    On the other hand, had I been at Wrigley 2 and seen it pop up in a coveted encore spot usually occupied by a rarity I would have been disappointed.

    I was actually just kidding, because so many others call it their piss break song. I love it, actually, but as someone else mentioned, it has probably aged the worst out of the rest of the list.
