Really? Black on a least favorite PJ song list?? Not to question your opinion, but what is it about Black you dont like? Overplayed?
Combination of a few things. I never really liked it a whole lot to begin with, it became overplayed and I've heard the butchered cover versions of it, which really kinda taints it for me. I get skewered on the board for my opinion about this song (U R A Crazy Breed & dimitrispearljam), but that's cool.

you just named proabably pearl jam top 10...quit being a fan...now
soo cause i don't like a few "hits" i should quit being a fan, thats funny. who the fuck are YOU to decide someones fandom. i'm sorry i didn't know pj has rules of being a fan. the elitism on here will never change and it's very SAD people like YOU are apart of the fanbase.

There are only two songs that come to mind when I think of least favorite Pearl Jam songs:
Rival - Cant really find anything I like with this one except a good Stone riff; slow, boring.
Who You Are - Great lyrics but probably the dreariest song Pearl Jam has done, I was very surprized it was No Code's first single.

Ok, not including covers and the werid experimental songs (which I acutally like apart from Hey Foxy)
1) Deep - Worst song on Ten, and now sounds one of their most dated. Don't like the riff, and although the verse is cool, the chrous just doesn't do it for me.
2) Spin The Black Circle - Probably their first bash at a full on punk song. Pretty poor. Rarely played live now so the band obviously agrees.
3) Help Help - There's alot of pretty uninspired stuff on Riot Act, but this is surely one of the worst songs they ever recorded.
4) Half Full - Now this one seems to be rated as one of the highlights on Riot Act. For me its a crappy blues dirge with sloppy Vedder lyrics about cimbing out mountains, and looking at the sea. The jam at the end live is pretty good, but the studio version is horrible.
5) Parachutes - This one kind of grew on me after a few listens of Pear Jam back in 2006, but now I can't listen to it. Its a nice little Gossard melody but Vedder ruins it with poor vocals,sounds like he's stretching all the time for the high notes. Pretty painful. The verses are too long as well, should of shaved it down to a little 2 minute song

That's pretty much it, unless we are counting Whale Song, etc.
Having said that, I will add that Green Disease and Unemployable both sounded pretty good in Philly.

and stick Glorified G in there somewhere too.
Alright I can go with I'm Open instead of the Whale Song.
"Get Right" rocks.
"Big Wave" rocks.
"Parachutes" is gorgeous.
You people have no taste for interesting music. Am I on the Bon Jovi forum?
speaking of bland, vanilla rock, it doesnt get any more bland and vanilla than Cropduster.
So close, Crazy, yet so far...

hold on - a dog that should have stayed lost
gone - better when ed does it alone, but the full band version goes no where
deep - my least fave of ten.. but not terrible. early live versions are good, but as some one said, sounds dated these days.
half full - not bad live, but i'd rather just hear red mosquito
Are you kidding?
