    Come Back

    They're supposed to be Pearl Jam....not Pearl Adult Contemporary.
    I can understand how some might not like this song. I disagree.

    I personally think it's outstanding. Def in my top 5.

    If that's the case, we could call them Pearl Jam Contemporary b/c of other songs.

    I love come back too.

    least favs: evacuation, mankind, comatose, parachutes, sweet lew, bugs (cant stand it)

    Bushleaguer, only because the lyrics/subject matter make it dated...

    Stupid mop, I'm open, Bee girl, Sweet Lew, Mankind, Education, U. Don't gimme no lip I'd say these are the ones I really don't like much.

    Now when you think about it. Of all the albums, all the B-sides, all the Soundtracks, etc., probably well over 100 songs, if I can only come up with those 8 songs, that is a statement as to how great PJ is for me.


    really? U??
    they need to start playing that one more...

    I don't know why, but I've never really felt "Marker in the Sand." It's just so ... I don't know.

    I love "Evacuation!" I listen to that song almost every day.

    Foxy Mophandlemama, That's Me - I don't even consider this a song though.

    Bu$hleaguer - just a little bit TOO on the nose for me. Some great lines, but its barbs are almost too pointed for me. I prefer politics in my songs to be a little more universal and subtle.

    Speed of Sound - I'm sorry, but this tune feels a little flaccid to me.

    Black, Red, Yellow - not even sure I have the order of the colors right. This song always just seems to float right by me, when I'm listening to Lost Dogs. To be honest, as huge a PJ fan as I am and with how many times I've listened to every album, I have to admit that I couldn't even tell you what this song really sounds like or what the lyrics are.
    Are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?

    Glorified G from Vs. is definitely one of them... if not the worst. I just don't like that whole 'glorified version of a pellet gun' chorus thing in the background, it drives me nuts. Your results may vary, but I'm sure there's some songs you don't like.

    WTF???....Glorified G lol :?

    While tossing the goofy songs aside(Bugs, Foxy Mop, etc.)...I'd say Low Light, Evacuation, Cropduster, Down(I don't get the love by the band?), and Parachutes. Not a huge fan of Marker in the Sand, either.

    Well at least some of you are honest.
    I personally can't think of one that I don't like. Just some I listen to more than others.

    I think I would put Hitchhiker/Whale Song/Don't Gimmie No Lip on my list.

    I think about this alot actually. Loved every (real) song through Vitalogy (Foxy doesn't count). I know I will catch hell for this, but the first PJ song I had to admit to myself that I did not like is
    Around the Bend

    Since then it would include:
    Can't Keep
    Ghost
    Cropduster
    Parachutes
    Unemployable

    and one more to take shit about:
    Johhny Guitar

    BTW -- absolutely love Come Back
