the best midnight song?

I'm having a new years get together at my place, where most of the music played will be Pearl Jam. What's the best midnight song? My first thought was Yellow Ledbetter, then I considered Hard to Imagine, Fatal, Alive, Wishlist, and a bunch more.

So I guess the essential question is: What song holds the most lyrical meaning and power, but is also fun and good enough for it to be the first thing we hear in 2010?

The poll starts now!
Do you see the way that tree bends? Does it inspire?

I'll not lose my faith, it's an inside job today

St. Louis 5/4/10 Hope for many more!

    Lukin, because nothing says Happy New Year like a psychodic woman driving a car into your house.

    So most of the music is going to be Pearl Jam? How do I get an invite to this party?

    Its gotta be a fun song with a lot of guitars...how bout a Backspacer track like The Fixer or Supersonic?

    by the time midnight rolls around on NYE, i will be pretty fucking toasted. ANY pearl jam song will do, and will get me fired up as all hell.


    how about RVM??
  • FenwayFaithfulFenwayFaithful Posts: 8,626
    We could take this question one step further...If Pearl Jam ever decided to have a NYE extravaganza, what song would be played at midnight?

    I was at MMJ at Madison Square Garden last year and they did "Celebrate good times, come on" whatever the hell the correct name of that song is....

    Yeah, most of it. There'll be some Alice In Chains, Mad Season, Black Crowes, Led Zep, etc. But 3/4 PJ. Fenway faithful? If you come here you'll be deep in Cards territory. Yellow Ledbetter just seems right to me, if PJ ever did a NYE show. Reflective, meaningful (at least I think) but still rocks out. Alive would be awesome too at a show, or RITFW. Or Indifference. Any of their finales really.

    Yes, I agree!
    A child's rhyme stuck in my head...
    It said "Life is nothing but a dream."
    I've spent so many years in question
    To find I'd known this all along.
