    My favorite PJ shirt ever - thanks for the chance!

    Porch - it's everything wrapped up in one song: rocking, emotional, gut-wrenching, endearing, liberating....and the best live song ever!

    My all time favorite is Garden but it does change from day to day...
    Today it can be Black for dimitrispearljam.

    Do the Evolution!! It combines not just a fucking awesome, raw, immense track on a sweet record but like all great pj tracks has a message that doesnt seem 'preachy' but gets its point across!

    IT'S EVOLUTION BABY!
    Keep on Jammin' in the Free World!

    Smile. The title says it all. It makes me smile. Sadly I have never heard it live.
  • Evolution6579Evolution6579 Posts: 624
    Do The Evolution is by far my favorite song. There is just something about that guitar riff that makes me wanna shake my butt.

    P.S. Thanks for the chance at the cool shirt!

    Sleight of Hand........unique timing by Matt......lots of dark, subtle effects going on......creates a very thick atmosphere.....the lyrics are rich with realism and frustration.......and the music explodes into the chorus...

    Corduroy--it sums up how I view the band as not needing anything from anyone and desiring to do things there own way. I also love the opening and closing riffs.

    Present tense because it's pure emotion and love how it ends
  • Tuolumne MamaTuolumne Mama Posts: 1,210
    Given To Fly because it reminds me of the struggles and triumphs of the great people I've come to know and love in the Pearl Jam community over the last 20 years. Thanks.

    Wow hard to pick one but at the moment I Am Mine. The line " the in between is mine" just reminds me daily that my life is just as important as the rest!
  • shepshep Houston Posts: 5,802
    Wow that is a tough question...

    I would have to say it is Corduroy.... It was the song that just made me fall in love with the band. It says it all. I still listen to the song atleast once every day, and even though it's been played at all 9 shows I've been to, I always hope to hear it at the next one, cause it's just so intense live.

    A close second would have to be Present Tense and Thumbing My Way... those 2 songs have gotten me through some tough times, and I don't know where I'd be without them...
    Houston, Texas... Believe it or not, there are 7 million people here... must be a couple of fans who'd love to see you play.

    I love them all because they bring out so much emotion and are deeply embedded in my soul. :D

    Present Tense

    That song will have deep meaning for the length of my life, guaranteed. It's the most perfect song the band has ever recorded, and brings on chills when heard live!

    Ps - great shirt, and thanks for your generosity

    Because of its feeling of unrequited love, one that burns deep inside most of us... makes me cry.
