    Not even close: Of a Girl
    Sleight of Hand, though lyrically very strong, is not only one of the most boring PJ songs but THE most boring live song

    :shock:

    That song is amazing, and live versions are even better. I actually think it sounds like it could've been made way before 2000.

    OF THE GIRL
    Up here so high I start to shake, Up here so high the sky I scrape, I've no fear but for falling down, So look out below I am falling now, Falling down,...not staying down, Could’ve held me up, rather tear me down, Drown in the river

    I can't choose. I love them both so much. But if I have to pick I'll go Of The Girl.

    Both brilliant atmospheric songs. They seem to have neglected that experimental side since Binaural.
    However I think Of The Girl just wins out. The San Sebastian 2000 version is perfect

    SOH is not only the best song on Binaural...it's one of the best songs this band has ever made.....i just think it might be a little too deep for some people and the song goes over their heads.....i have yet to be blessed with hearing it live.....but it's the one i look most forward to hearing next time the boys are in Boston.

    You have to be in a certain mood to truly appreciate the song.....otherwise, it falls flat..

    to me it's a perfect example of Pearl jams absolute brilliance...their ability to excel in all styles of music...so while i enjoy the fast paced rockers...i equally enjoy the mellower introspective tunes...but It's ok Mike....i know how illiterate you are...and all those blows to the head you have taken...all the cash you lost to King...prison....and worst of all...Robin Givens!!!!.........i let it slide this one time.

    Thanks for letting me keep my teeth ;) ....I remember listening to it when I was younger and going through certain things, but really haven't had the urge to hear it in a while...I'll give it a spin tonight..
