    Slightly off topic, but why is I Got Shit referred to as I Got ID?

    Because it was gonna be a single, the record company didn't want it to be titled "Shit" for radio-play reasons.

    As far as the phrase, "ID" refers to the Sigmund Freud's concept of personality which you could read about here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Id,_ego,_and_super-ego#Id.

    I got SHIT.

    And I fought back in my mind
    Never lets me be right...
    I got memories, I got shit
    So much it don't show...

    I got Shit is one of PJ"s top 10 songs.

    I builds, explodes, and does it all over again.

    Head and shoulders above Long Road.

  • mbangel10mbangel10 Posts: 548
    My two favorite Pearl Jam songs....

    1. I Got Shit
    2. Long Road

    Although both contain a fair amount of magic.... especially live.

    There is something about Long Road, maybe it is the simplicity of the chords or the fact that it is a great opener. I never thought a D chord could sound so good, over and over again. Gotta go with Long Road.

    "You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.

    LONG ROAD has taken over! I'm surprised by the recent dominance of this great song. I really thought IGS was gonna run away with this race. Here are the recent tallys:

    23.5 Long Road 21 I Got Shit.
