    Anything you lose from being honest
    You never really had to begin with.


    Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.

    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 don't like the thread title...
    but that stated...there are three that make the list for me as the ones I like least. 
    1.  Bee Girl
    2.  Parachutes
    3.  Yellow Poon

    Ole
    Sirens
    Future Days
    Sweet Lew (I like the basketball, but the voice Jeff, oh god, the voice)

    For the record, I really like FoxyMop and Bugs.

    Help Help is the worst song ever to make a PJ album.
    Agree as Help Help gets my vote.  

    Others i dislike:
    Evacuation
    Sweet Lew
    Tremor Christ (i know i know but the beginning base line of this song drives me crazy.  like nails on chalk board for me)

    Sirens and Sweet Lew for me, but I'll listen to those songs over a ton of other songs by other bands, so I guess that's why PJ is so awesome. They're more my very least favorite than worst.

    And although I hate the song, the idea of seeing Sweet Lew live sounds like a total blast!

    Just a Girl or Hitchhiker. They didnt make it onto albums, so even the band knows they suck.

    Worst song on an album that gets played at every show and I can’t even believe how anyone could enjoy this song: Mind Your Manners. Even the title of the song is horrendous.
    "I'll tell you what: If all I had was Pearl Jam, and I didn't have another band in the world, I would not be worried. Because in there is the essence of making great music. You don't have to use it all at once, but it's there." - Neil Young

    Hey, exactly the same for me.. Let me guess.. Do you like with a passion Binaural and Riot Act too? And love the moody, dark side of PJ? And think they should stop with the punk/garage attempts and experiment more? If so, we have the same mind
