    Last Kiss by Seven Mary Three is much better, and not a cover.

    it's structurally a bit dull, doesn't really go anywhere and, sorry, but Ed's voice sounds strained throughout.

    But it is fun and sounds good live... I haven't seen it at any of the gigs I've been to, so I'd certainly be happy to sing along to it on a nice warm evening this summer.
    we're all going to the same place...

    yes it got a lot of radio time <----which i was cool with But how can say you got hooked on pj because you liked last kiss? that's what gets on my nerves. last kiss is not pj sounding.

    but oh well....gotta start as a fan somewhere i just don't see the connection.

    'ew, i like pearl jam....they do last kiss right?'
    :roll:


    i like the song thou. always have.
    not sure if you can see but my siggy......it's a car crashed under a tree. one of my favs of my pj shirt collection.

    Last Kiss is a great fun cover, radio stuffed it up by putting it on mega high rotation at the expense of just about everything else PJ recorded. To hear it every now and then as a rarity at a show is awesome. To hear it day in day out on radio sucks.

    "Last Kiss" is a classic "death song" and I heard it constantly on oldies radio as a kid. I was surprised that Ed first heard it on an old 45 as an adult. This must be why he was enamoured with the song. I wonder if he's familiar with "Seasons In The Sun" and "Leader Of The Pack" and "Run Joey Run" and all the other horrible "death songs" that I've had to suffer through on oldies night. I thought Pearl Jam's cover of "Last Kiss" was "cute", but it certainly wasn't something that should have been a career-defining hit or an eternal encore selection. It's truly an awful song.

    i loved it when it was first given to us on the xmas single. it got a little too much air.. a little, but they did good by giving that money to charity. so what's not to like?

    I like it -- then again, I like songs from that period, in general. My (oops!) now-eleven-year-old likes it. His current PJ favorites are "Black," "Daughter," "Last Kiss," "Just Breathe," "Dirty Frank," and "Bugs." 8-)

    It is funny that so many people say they hate it, but in Philly everyone around us was singing their lungs out to it. :lol:

    I don't HATE it, just don't love it. For me, that spot on the set list could be filled with something I'd rather hear. Besides, the story goes that radio stations in Philly started the grassroots effort that eventually ended up making it such a radio hit for the band, so EVERY TIME they come to Philly they play it - not that I'm complaining, just saying there are better alternatives, IMO.

    Well said. Of all their songs, this is one of the ones I least like, and of course it's not really theirs cos they didnt write it. I've heard it twice live, crowd seemed to get into it on both occasions, but there are plenty of songs they do that I'd rather hear live than LK. Hear it a fair bit on the radio too and I wince when I hear it. It's just not a great song, imo, but then they can't do great songs all the time, something has to be inferior to other stuff they've done and I reckon this one fits the bill.
