    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.
    Get over here!

    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. :D

    Well, we are supposed to be respectful, so...

    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.

    I like Get Right. It has lots of energy, a good bass line, a good solo, and good riff under the solo by Stone.

    ENOUGH OF THE SWEET LEW BASHING!!! :evil:

    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...

    To each his own, right?

    The riff in Get Right is sweet, by the way...
