    Not sure if it's the worst, but Other Side would be one that I could never get into. It just sounds very generic and uninspired.

    Only my opinion though.

    Yeah.. But.. *faints again*


    Needless to say, I LOVE Other Side. ;)

    haha I know there are some Other Side lovers out there. I just could never get into it. It's by no means an awful song or anything; it's just one PJ song that has always underwhelmed me. Hell, Other Side 100x better than anything on Top 40 radio, though. I was just as shocked to see Nothing As It Seems and Off He Goes (my FAVORITE PJ SONG) in this thread!

    Not necessarily the worst but I can do without Nothing as it Seems, thumbing my way, Comeback, Parachutes, Off He Goes...from the studio Albums :? ;)

    insane. i love those songs.

    everyone is different..but yea i love those

    Yeah, I'm a big fan of all these songs. The diversity of some slower tempo songs along with the rockers is, I think, what makes Pearl Jam really great.


    Some of my favorites too, someone else also mentioned Gone, it's one of those that I can listen to over and over.

    I love Evacuation. It sounds like a Fugazi tune.

    As far as the worst song, I guess it would probably be something off Lost Dogs, but even the worst song can be fun on occasion. Sweet Lew ain't great, but I don't turn it off.

    I have to agree that the Speed of Sound demo is much better then the album version.

    I wish I could scrape "Stupid Mop" off the CD, roll it up with my fingers, and wipe it onto the underside of the seat of my car.

    Of the songs that actually are songs, I like almost all of them. However if you force me to pick least favorites?

    Education
    Evacuation
    Sweet Lew
    U
    Don't gimme no lip
    Mankind

    For over 100 songs and I had to strain pretty hard to come up with 5-7 that I don't like much... That says a lot about how good Pearl Jam is in my opinion.
    Up here so high I start to shake, Up here so high the sky I scrape, I've no fear but for falling down, So look out below I am falling now, Falling down,...not staying down, Could’ve held me up, rather tear me down, Drown in the river

    Yes, but the thread is "worst pearl jam song" not "least favourite". There's no room for opinion here, and it's already been determined that it is an objective and unarguable fact that Sweet Lew is the worst.;)

    Whale Song is the 2nd worst.

    :D

    Whoever mentioned "Off He Goes" is currently being demoted to Creed fanship (I kid).

    Bill Simmons once called "Spin The Black Circle" the worst Pearl Jam song, and I have to agree - they don't do *really* fast songs all that well imo. "Circle" is definitely their most overrated track - how it won a Grammy still puzzles me. It's arguably the least essential single the band has ever released.

    I love EV sleeping by myself but I hate the musical arrangement made for Lightning bolt. Sounds like a prom night song  :|
