He's starting at the bottom -- and it's not good for Vitalogy! (And the Whale Song!?!?!?)

    he's already lost credibility in my eyes having the masterpiece that is Olympic Platinum so low.

    Personally, I like Gremmie out of Control and whale song, perfect additions to Lost Dogs. As the liner notes say on Gremmie, "Brendan O'Brien plays a mean surf guitar"


    But that's just me.

    Whale Song is weak; no matter how many times I try to get into it, I can't...and Vitalogy has always got a bad rap. I guess the masses can't handle awesomeness.

    i don't. the accordion plus those quirky lyrics make it brilliant to me.

    Sorry! I really have tried! I used to feel that I wasn't a true fan unless I liked all their songs, but now I believe the opposite.

    I am so looking forward to this full list to see where some of my favorite, great songs and then where my favorite random songs fall.

    This should be awesome either way!

    From the blog:
    145. Last Kiss (Holiday Single, 1998, Lost Dogs, 2003) - One of the most famous songs in Pearl Jam's catalogue, its low spot on this list will not surprise the hardcore Ten Clubbers (I'm sure many of them wanted it in the #160 spot), but might shock the casual fans. It's a decent pop-rock cover of the J. Frank Wilson & The Cavaliers song (originally composed by Wayne Cochran), but it has been played to death, by both the radio and the band itself. The fact that so many people are familiar with PJ because of this song irks me and a whole legion of fellow fans, especially when we know how many superior covers the band has performed.

    It just IRKS me whenever it's performed :D

    I disagree with some things too, but I think the poster has also included general reaction to the songs rather than just their own opinion.

    I think we are almost out of all the lost -lost dogs. So anything from now shouldnt be considered a complete fail. :D


    This is a really fun read. Makes me wanna make my own list.

    160 - 145 is made up mostly of Christmas singles, covers, Vitalogy half-tracks and Lost Dogs...

    Therefore the real bottom track is "Evacuation"...

    Sounds about right to me!

    Yep and I've just realised that, by tyring to find a worse track than Evacuation, I've made a tool of myself! I've edited my post now!

    I'm also wondering how low Parachutes is going to be... I would have placed it second last without a second's hesitation...
