WHich track number you consider has the best tracks in the whole Pearl jam records?

I made a poll, but since the poll only let me put eigth choices and each pearl jam record has 12/13 songs, Im gonna do it in two polls.

track 1 (once, go, brain of J, cant keep, life wasted, etc)
track 2 (even flow, animal, hail, hail, stbc, save you, worldwide.. etc)
track 3 (alive, daugther, not for you, who you are, love boat capitan, etc)
track 4 (thremor christ, in my threegiven to fly, ligth years, severed hand,)
track 5 (black, dissident, nothingman, smile, whislist, nais, marker, etc)
track 6 (jeremy, off he goes, i am mine, thin air, parachutes, etc)
track 7 (oceans, do the evolution, thumbing my way, insignificance, etc)
track 8 (porch, rearview, corduroy, red mosquito, you are, etc)

    Good question.

    I will answer Track One. Go is my all time favorite, and Last Exit, Somtimes, and Brain of J are kick ass. I also think Can't Keep and Life Wasted are the best songs on those albums.

    Track 4 came close, but Cropduster and Light years turned me off.
  • I forgot to vote,

    For me is track 5, only with black and wishlist I dont need to say no more:

    I did a thread like this a long time ago.
    I vote for number 8.

    Track 5 is perfect for me. Dissident is always playing in my head. I love Smile and Wishlist too. The track 5 songs have a certain reflective tone or wistfulness to them: "she couldn't hold on", "I miss you already", "I wish I was the full moon shining off a camaro's hood".

    I think track 5 and track 8 make the best sets.
