List of Pearl Jam Originals?
(Edit: added a ? to the thread title...)
What started as something I thought would be very easy ended up being a bit more difficult because the exercise is a little ambiguous in some cases. So I am turning to fellow ten clubbers for input.
I am trying to pull together a complete list of Pearl Jam originals. I know that much of this can be found under the Music/Lyrics link but there are some inconsistencies, so between that, Google, Wikipedia, etc, the below is the list I have come up with.
I have grouped outtakes/b sides/etc with the "era" of the album most reflective of date (for example, Ole got lumped in with Backspacer, etc), thus Rearviewmirror and Lost Dogs are not considered their own entities. If a song came to be between albums it was grouped with the last released album unless it was in the year of the next album. So the albums are more like time periods.
The goal is to have a list of only songs written and performed by Pearl Jam. This distinction proved to be somewhat challenging because what to do with instrumentals, demos, etc, was sometimes a little ambiguous. So here are the "rules" I used:
Studio albums of course. B side singles. Instrumentals that were on an official (non bootleg) release. Christmas singles that are actually songs. Merkinball counts even though Uncle Neil is on it (cause those two songs are way too epic to ever exclude). No covers (this includes songs like Crazy Mary. Lass Kiss, etc).
Note that the comments try to capture where it was released. Also, LD = Lost Dogs.
I came up with 177 songs (please forgive the formatting, I couldn't come up with any other way to preserve any of the spacing as this originally came from an Excel file):
(This is a scrollable list)

Add: Leatherman II, Master/Slave, Hummus, Writers Block, Wreck, My Son Is Slow, Open Road, Falling Down, Puzzle and Game
Remove: Sick o' Pussies (Bad Radio song), Growin Up (Bruce song)

Interesting. Thanks! Off to google I go.....
Also, from the Gossard demos, as they are in hallucinogenic recipe, there is a really great instrumental that was never used, titled (I believe) Wreck.
Also, are you intending only released and recorded material and not live improvs? Cuz otherwise there are certainly other songs, like My Son Is Slow, etc.
If I opened it now would you not understand?
Master/Slave
hummus
The ultra annoying Writers Block
If I opened it now would you not understand?
Sick o pussies - although briefly tagged at soldier field, is a very early Vedder solo composition that was included on The Bad Radio demos.
If you are going to include that, you may as well include actual Bad Radio songs, current Vedder solo songs, and, hell, MlB and TOTD songs, just to be fair. Let alone Brad, Three Fish, et al. Etc.
Growin Up is a Springsteen song, not an original.
And you may as well include
Real Thing
Credited legit as Pearl Jam and Cypress Hill
Co writing credits Ament, Gossard, and Infamous D.A
Highly underrated Judgement Night, movie and soundtrack. Lol
If I opened it now would you not understand?
Great stuff!! Thank you.
I don't know how I missed Hard to Imagine, will fix that, must have been an Excel goof. Master/Slave and Writers Block were omissions because I started with track names, silly mistake on my part.
I'm definitely going for PJ originals only so the feedback about Sick o' Pussies is exactly what I'm looking for, thank you. The music section on this site had it listed as PJ Original so I went with that but I have also read on the forums that the list there can be a bit inaccurate so I'll remove that one.
As to live only jams, I think I'm drawing the line at "if it has words" and it's not a cover of any type, but feedback is certainly welcome.
So thus far the edits would be:
Add Hard to Imagine, Leatherman II, Master/Save, Hummus, Writers Block, Wreck, My Son Is Slow.
Remove Growin Up, Sick o' Pussies
I did have Real Thing but left it off since it was co-written. I am making an exception for Merkinball because of its sheer awesomeness even though Neil plays guitar and organ.
Anyhow, thanks again, this kind of info is exactly what I was looking for.

The app doesn't go into as much detail as he's looking for. Hummus, Writer's Block, Leatherman 2, none of those exist in the app.
PM me with any comments or suggestions for the app - or weigh in <a href="http://forums.pearljam.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=167611

I would also like to know
Couple notes .... Gremmie is a Silly Surfers cover and what about good old Stupid Mop
Thanks for the info, will also check out the app. The more sources the better!!
Added! Thanks!
Primus mentioned it but I'm still searching
Yes it is! Good catch, thank you.
Actually went back and forth on this one. Only problem is that does it then open the door for multi versions of many of the songs? This one is very different though then the actual released song so what the heck, let's add it.
Its the little known sequel to Leatherman. Eddie finds out Leatherman is his father and they have a battle at the end of the movie where Leatherman cuts off Ed's hand. Ed later gets a robotic hand so he can still play the guitar in Leatherman III. It was certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. :corn:

Dear Listeners,
I was recently sent a book that I thought some of you more hardcore folks might find interesting.
It’s called The Old Leather Man written by Dan DeLuca. It is a detailed historical document all about this intense character who roamed the northeast on foot in the mid to late 1800s.
About twelve years ago on a winters day hike my friend Tim R., his kids and I stumbled upon one of his old caves. That night I was inspired to write not one but two songs about the man (the second, not so creatively titled "Leatherman II" was never released…definitely the more somber of the two).
While this book offers up his life and times in the most complete manner as possible, the mystery of Leather Man remains intact.
It’s also interesting to note the parallels between the Leather Man and Chris McCandless who we got to know through Into the Wild.
Just thought I’d pass it on…
Ed
