    for me their best song changes from year to year and from mood to mood.

    That being said in my youth there was a period of like 10 months where black was the soundtrack of my life.

    I don't like Black


    You are now officially dead to me.....
    I love getting skewered for my opinion about Black. As I said on the "What song do you skip" thread, it's a great song. I get it. It's Stone's work of art. And believe me, I have gained a new appreciation for the band being in Seattle the last few days, but I've just heard so many awful cover versions of this song, it just leaves a sour taste in my mouth hearing it live. Sorry guys. I'll take Daughter with an It's Ok tag, or Better Man with a Save it for Later tag every day of the week over Black. Also, and Im sure Im not alone in this, I just like having fun with you guys sometimes by drumming up criticism.

    alive is pearl jam's very best song

    it's "our anthem" and speaks to the mass's. a song that's bout a break up and has turned into a stale song at concerts would never be pj's very best song. it's still has meaning cause it's a "special song" to ed and he can make it emotional.

    Here, here!!

    I LOVE this song (especially live).

    The guitar solo is my favourite moment live. The crowd play their part.
    Very funny in the IIC dvd when Ed jumps off the speaker and falls. Took balls to leave that in!!

    Hats off to Metsfan, he doesn't always get it right ha ha :lol:
