    exactly like it? there isn't one resemblance.. (and i thank christ for that.)
    i'm more a fan of popular bands.. like the bee-gees, pearl jam

    i love how when someone doesnt like a nonhit song its always because they are drunken fratboys, fake pearl jam fans, or musical illiterates who just aren't smart enough.


    Unemployable kinda sucks to me, but glad you like it.

    unemployable is a great tune. i like it a lot. i really like the line "if he can't sleep how will he ever dream".. solid album from start to finish!

    To be fair to Mike, he co-wrote the music for this song with Matt.

    Saw it live twice (or 3 times, can't remember). It's a great song. Not the best, but certainly not the worst.

    Then again, I'm one of those guys who likes every PJ song (except for shit like Sweet Lew).

    I agree with you 100%. I love every pearl jam song besides stuff like bugs and Hey Foxy. Unemployable was the first song that really stuck out to me when i first started lsitening to Avocado

    Thinking if he can't sleep, how will he ever dream?

    I like it a lot. It was nice hearing when I saw them at MSG :)
    These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.

    Right after first hearing this song, I went out and got a big cock ring that says "Jesus Saves."

    That was one painful misheard lyric, lemme tell ya.

    i loveee this song! i remember downloading it as a "B-Side" to i think it was world wide suicide on I-Tunes and it instantly grabbed me. subject wise its kinda like the happier cousin of sleight of hand
    My favorite Pearl Jam song: "Corporate Greed Boat Asshole Behind a Counter in the Oval Office"
