    I thought the best songs were:

    Black
    SOLAT
    Given to Fly

    I didn't realize there was competition
    Life has nothing to do with killing time.
    So why be satisfied?

    i'm sorry, but this is an utterly ridiculous question. and no, i don't mean this to be insulting; it is simply, pearl jam is just THAT amazing, they cannot possibly be whittled down to JUST one....best song ever. impossible. utterly impossible. but you go ahead with your futile games....;)

    This can't be done. However, Corduroy is not on the list although it is part of the greatest record ever conceived.

    Best guess, I'd say RVM, Black, or the reason I learned to play guitar.....Betterman.

    Best song ever is kind of vague I think a lot of Pearl Jam songs are best in certain moods.

    As far as in my opinion best written/best lyrics/best meaning I'd go with: (in no order)
    Black
    Indifference
    Present Tense
    Inside Job
    The End
    Immortality

    As far as ones that get me pumped and are songs that I have to listen to while working out: (in no order)
    Porch
    Animal
    Brain of J
    Hail, Hail
    Got Some

    As far as ones that are just plain awesome: (in no order)
    Glorified G
    No Way
    Johnny Guitar
    Satan's Bed
    Soon Forget


    Yeah I know I'm useless to this topic it's just so hard to pick the best song ever. :(

  • crazygeocrazygeo Posts: 2,380
    love the drums by mr. irons.

    gotta agree. i like matt's chops and what he adds to the band but jack was more dynamic.
  • Black10Black10 Posts: 160
    Black is the best song written by anyone in the history of music so that's #1 for me.

    Given to Fly and Corduroy are tied for 2nd place.

    Force of Nature being 4th...haha j/k. Too early for that..but the song does fuckin kick ass!

    I hope they play it in Philly.
