I've always thought it was pretty damn catchy, the riff, the guitars, the bass.. In the minority, I really like it. The worst song would have to go to Sweet Lew.
Sweet Lews a stupid song but I actually enjoyed hearing it in Philly. The baseline is catchy and sounded good live. Get right however it utter crap and doesn't have the novelty enjoyment of SL.
There are a few songs I'd class as poor but not this one. I love Get Right, it has a bit of a loose, unfinished feel to it but that's it's appeal I think. Great riff, solo and lyrics.

I don't think Get Right is quite up to par to a typical Pearl Jam song. It's among the songs that I least care for in their catalog.

This thread started as Get Right - OP doesn't love it, his opinion...asked what we all thought...
Personally, one of my favorite: songs on Riot Act - songs performed 7/9/03 @ MSG - favorite 10 Club T's - favorite Matty compositions...
I dig Get Right
I am astounded at the amount of disdain for Sweet Lew 'round these parts...I absolutely adore this tune - I am still excited that I got to see it @ MSG 2 a few weeks back - it was awesome! Jeff knocked it out - lyrics are personal and really crafty - sux his idol was a jerk to him...and it was GREAT at the Garden - Stone playin' Jeff's bass, Ed dribblin' the bball to the beat - Matt grinning like he stole something...
I can think of at least 5 songs right away that are "lacking typical PJ awesome-ness" WAY before Sweet Lew:
Ghost, Help Help, God's Dice, Whale Song & Gremme - just off the top of my head...
This is a good song

Get Right
Artist: Pearl Jam
Composer: Cameron
I want for to lay down,
I'm waiting 'till sundown
I'm searching the haystacks, water is sunshine,
Wait for the moment
The moment between us, the fire is made now,
Harder to touch
I wanted to get right
I wanted to get right
I wanted to get right with you
Bakers dozen parades,
Stand and debate
Out single file, nine in a row, swear if you must
Keeping your boots on, float with the now,
Hot to the touch
Concrete underground, cast out everyday,
The dregs of society
Underbelly, beside me, rejoice and follow thee
I wanted to get right
I wanted to get right
I wanted to get right
With it, with you

Right and several people think that Sweet Lew is worse than Get Right. I personally like the music to Get Right, not so much the lyrics and think that Whale Song is their worst. It's on topic. Or do you just hate free speech?
HEY EVERYONE PJFAN13 HATES FREE SPEECH!
...don't freak out, I'm just messing with you. No one hates free speech.
No, No, No! Get Right is one the few songs that I actually listen to from Riot Act. It's got great guitars in it! Matt Cameron rules. And the demo version is wicked!
