    oh...... also speed of sound

    unthought known just sounds too coldplayish to me. I expect to see Ed is a stupid pirate coat when I hear it. Like that douche Chris Paltrow is it? no it's Martin sorry

    I could say the same about you my friend. :lol:...Help, Help. There's just no way that that song could be one of the worst PJ songs. It's totally sexy. ;)

    Sleight of Hand

    Thank God!

    I am the biggest PJ apologist there is, and this is the only song I don't like. I skip it, every version, every time. Say what you will about the lyrics, but the music is BORING. With all of the beauties on Lost Dogs, I can't believe this song made it on an album. And I've seen a lot of love for it here, and I truly don't understand. I know, tastes are different but...seriously, this song is poop. And it's the only song I haven't seen from Binaural. I'm hoping it stays that way.

  • i think we can all agree any song titled speed of sound is just not the greatest of songs

  • Well it certainly isn't a song from the first 5 albums,

    One of the following for me:

    Love Boat Captain (cringeworthy)
    Evacuation
    Gone
    Comatose
    Gonna See My Friend
    Ghost
    Help Help

    Those painkiller drugs are getting to you - Parachutes is awesome! Seriously - hope you're ok.

    Let's see - I'll go with songs on the 9 studio albums:
    Ten - none
    Vs. - none
    Vitalogy - I don't think Stupid Mop even qualifies as a song - I'll go with Bugs.
    No Code - I'm Open is really annoying. Habit is only saved by the great outro.
    Yield - Push Me Pull Me kind of spoils the mood at the end there. You can probably tell I hate spoken word parts. Red Dot is annoying too - not really a song though.
    Binaural - how did Evacuation get on this album while Sad & Fatal didn't?
    Riot Act - Yea, Get Right is truly awful. I think Help Help might, gasp, be growing on me. :o
    Avocado - Big Wave is bad - everything else is great!
    Backspacer - I agree that Speed of Sound isn't all that great, but I'll buck the trend and go with The End.

    agree on Sweet Lew and Hitchhiker.

    You are batshit crazy on the rest, especially whale song

    Supersonic belongs on a Status Quo album when it was surely supposed to be a hat's off to The Ramones and yes I may be batshit crazy but Aye Davanita and Push Me Pull Me are two of my favourite PJ songs ever! By the way I do actually listen to all these without skipping them but just don't think they reach PJ's very high standard. :(

    if you check that bracket thing it looks like black is going to be thier BEST song...so...
  • Studio songs that suck not including Stupid Mop in my humble opinion:
    Bugs - pointless
    Bushleaguer - what a shame, the music's awesome, the lyrics are cringe-inducing and kill it
    Sleight of hand - mediocre, Insignificance does the same theme better on the same album
    Soon forget - this song was so irritating i got rid of it
    Evacuation - somebody wrote a while back "Enunciation" and that was awesome
    Glorified G - subtle like a sledgehammer, they can do better than that
    Pilate - chorus is just awful
    Parachutes - Songs like Footsteps and Wash are b-sides and this crap made an album?
    Speed of Sound - the demo is better than the album version
    Arc - skip

    I wouldn't even consider b-sides like sweet lew because obviously the band thought they weren't that good. But the worst PJ Song ever -
    Breakerfall - overproduced mess, sounds like they auto-tuned the best voice in music! What were they thinking?

    My opinion only I think? I know a lot of people like this song, but I just never really liked it. It's when I use the restroom at a show.


    Nothing As It Seems..............Don't like it, but it's still better than a lot of other bands best shit.

    Did you mean to list Better Man twice? I presume you don't care for that song.

    Here's my question: I can't understand how someone who doesn't like Corduroy or RVM can be a Pearl Jam fan and a member of the Ten Club. These 2 songs, plus perhaps Alive, are the very definition of the Pearl Jam sound. So, um, are you joking?

    Agreed. That list better be a joke. Otherwise, it's terrible. I personally prefer to not see some of the "favorites" live anymore because I've seen them two dozen times, but I also acknowledge both their importance in the foundation of my fanship and the fact that there are a lot of people there who haven't seen them before. But if they played DTE at every show I went to for the rest of my life, I would be pleased. Or Save You for that matter. But what do I know, I don't like Sleight of Hand?
