Is anyone else in love with this song???
I swear if they play this at the Seattle shows I might pass out.
Just watching them play it on Letterman gets me all excited for the show.

i like the song live.... album version is simply meh.... I like the story it tells more than the actual music, if that makes sense.0

"unemployable" is one of my favorite PJ songs. easily in my top ten. perhaps top five. it's equally catchy and complex.0

I LOOOOOVE This song...pretty much since the 1st time i heard it...just so darn catchy, i can never seem to get enough of it, so much so that it's the ringtone for my cell phone!!

i really wanted them to play this in London.its probably one of my favorites.i can only imagine how great it would sound live.Seek,
Find be yourself.
Don't follow the herd.
Don't repeat in spite of the encores.
Be yourself.
Otherwise you'll bore us.0 -
No.....sorry.....just being honest.
When I hear this it reminds me of a bad 70s song. Especially the beginning and the chorus.
Now mind you it is no Cropduster. I just felt this should have been left as a B-side and replaced with something stronger on the album.0 -

GREAT fucking tune!0

Great song and very relevant these days!0

The song is soo good live. I think The Fixer has a similiar poppy feel to this one.0

Cropduster is a great song. Much better than Unemployable. Just my opinion.
One man stands alone awaiting
for her to come home
eyes upon the horizon
in the dark before the
darkness leaves the dawn0 -

Seconded (or thirded). I don't hate Unemployable, but I have to be in the right frame of mind to really dig it. It gets skipped more than any song on Avocado, for sure.everybody wants the most they can possibly get
for the least they could possibly do0 -
great tune...better live but so isn't most of self titled anyway..army reserve and gone are my fav's...hated severed hand for a long time...but now i really like it.0

i've had to stickit on to make myself feel better bout all you lot being so negative. Seek,

I absolutely love this tune. My favorite from the Pearl Jam album and is a great live song, too. The lyrics are totally trenchant, given the state of the country right now, and it is an under appreciated gem.0

I'm really surprized to see the differentation of opinions relevant to Pearl Jam's catalogue of music. I can understand how many might feel different towards various 'interesting' songs... but let's be honest... this band has pumped out countless songs that are pretty damn awesome- the type of songs that should really work for a hard core fan and the type of song that wins over even the casual or non-fan.
Unemployable is a wicked tune that, at least for me, ranks in the top 15 tunes these guys have done (Jeremy- this message board's whipping boy- is and always has remained number 1). 'Avocado' receives waaaay too much criticism. A pretty damn good effort for a band approaching 20 years. This album, and this next one should be celebrated and enjoyed.
Can't wait for Vancouver and Seattle!"My brain's a good brain!"0 -
Finally, a thread with a good discussion, not bash session.0

Me too, sorry. Actually, it reminds me a lot of Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the USA," and that is not a compliment coming from me.All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.0
