Rite on, all great songs.. Have you ever dove into their live recordings? Of course they have great recordings of the day in day out songs they play live all the time but there are some gems out there that don't get heard... Here's a few for ya, try to find these, I basically just found sites that were legit to download the bootlegs... Hope you find these and enjoy.... (of course some may be Christmas singles you heard) I can't remeber every original artist for the songs...

Hawaii 78 (Kamakawiwo Ole' Israel)
Picture In a Frame (Many Artist)
Don't be Shy
You're True (Bob Gaudio)
Sleepless Nights (Everly Brothers)
Driven To Tears
Gimme Some Truth
Swallow My Pride (Green River)
Crown of Thorns (Mother Love Bone)
Olympic Platinum
Know Your Rights
Kick Out The Jams
Fortunate Son (CCR)
Can't Help Falling In Love (Elvis)

theoceansmademe

OGT92

Wow, no Footsteps??? How????

Music For Rhinos

Wow, 3 people listed Cant Keep already.

Its a great song, I love it ....just hasnt been discussed much or played a lot lately, so thats surprising to see.

Crane

Where's Brain of J???? :(

Red Mosquito75

You gotta have State of Love and Trust on there and maybe even Down...Isn't love reign over me a cover.

The top fifty is a easy list but the top 5 or ten is pretty hard because there are so many great songs

Red Mosquito75

Top ten in no order

State of Love and Trust
Alive
Evenflow
Down
Daughter
Given to Fly
Release
Nothingman
Black
footsteps

this is hard cause there are so many to choose from....

JossBreathe

I'm with the question marks....
I'm with the dirty frank for sure but... in 50 songs it's hard to not see brain of j or footsteps i agree! Every time someone starts one of these threads I always want to do it, and i have before, but then i hit myself later for leaving out an all time top from the list.... i might try it later - the fifty would be easier than 5 or 10. I hope they play hawaii because I want to go there and nothing would make it a better experience then to go with Pearl Jam.... crossing my fingers and praying to one day hear dirty frank live. I didn't get it out of 4 shows this year.... not suprised though...

8) Sleight Of Hand

Macca.

Yeah I knew people would have issues with me leaving out Footsteps, Brain Of J, Solat, Sonic Reducer etc. but I guess that's what makes it my top 50.

I love those songs too but 76 doesn't go into 50.

My list will probably change here and there too but hey I was just bit of fun.

I didn't know Love, reign o'er me, was a cover. To be honest I had never heard it before until I saw the movie and it was played over the end credits. I immediately downloaded it from Itunes and can't get enough of it. Great song.

Reading other peoples lists I have discovered a few other songs that I hadn't heard, so thanks for that.

BTW, top 50 is harder than a top 10, top 5, top 20 etc. My list includes all of those.

tinkerbell

Goes to show PJ fans think alike... 5 of us have Black as #1. Has been my favourite since the first time I heard it as a 10 year old in '91.

I am seeing a few songs that i haven't heard too, time for some serious iTunes trawling I think.

cbbjr

I attempted a list after the Examiner writer ranked all of the band's songs. I tried to give each song a ranking of between 1-10, but it was a pain in the ass. I gave 29 songs 10s and then I ordered those. This was pre-Backspacer, and now I think I would probably add Unthought Known somewhere in this mix.

1 Corduroy
2 Given To Fly
3 Leash
4 In My Tree
5 Release
6 Alive
7 Breath
8 In Hiding
9 Immortality
10 Elderly Woman
11 Not For You
12 Yellow Ledbetter
13 Present Tense
14 Black
15 All Those Yesterdays
16 I Got Id
17 Oceans
18 Low Light
19 Red Mosquito
20 Last Exit
21 Do The Evolution
22 Indifference
23 Smile
