Okay PJ network, lets see what you've got !!! Everywhere nightly around this glorious globe PJ Fans unite and discuss/argue/agree with one another over what 20 songs would truly be deserving of the songs of selection for a true All Time Greatest Hit Compilation for Pearl Jam.

So what would your 20 Songs be if it were up to you ???? Maybe your a mainstreamer, maybe your a fan of obscurity, maybe a mix of both...do tell...lets settle the discussion here for all to see!! :?: :?:
...and now i rub my eyes, for he has returned
seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned
for he still smiles...
and he's still strong
nothing's changed, but the surrounding bullshit that has grown
and now he's home
and we're laughing like we always did
my same old, same old friend...
