Favorite Song from Riot Act?

  • Thumbing My Way or I am Mine.

    Riot Act was the first PJ album I ever got-it remains among my very favorites, not only because I love Thumbing and I am Mine, but because it has so many other gems on it! :thumbup:

    easily the most underrated song not just from the album but from the band.

    not my favorite PJ album, but i will never forget the release date.

    was in college and it was POURING like all hell in NYC, and i had like 30 minutes to drive to a tower records in between classes to pick it up. the rain caused several accidents on the road, and flat out ran out of time. no way was i making it back to campus in time.

    ditched class, smoked a joint, and spun riot act 8-)

    if anybody out there is looking for a GREAT show from that tour, check out 7-1-03 d.c. (really va). there was a traffic jam, so they started off slow & kept goin'. they played why go for the 1st time since 95, 7 riot act songs (i think), some from binaural, know your rights, but they opened with can't keep..there was a k9 unit there, though. i was hoping that they would play bu$hleaguer, but that was probably the reason for the popo..it was truly an unforgettable, classic show.

    My favorite album!

    If their was ever a split amongst Pearl Jam fans, it would be Riot Act fans versus NON-Riot Act fans...we would be outnumbered 9 to 1 but we would still kick some major butt!

    It's a disease and they're all GREEN!

    All or none is as good as anything they have ever done.
    Cant keep, save you, cropduster, 1/2 full, I am mine-all great songs.

    I happen to really like LBC, but I cant break the association between that song and Issac the bartendter, julie, gopher and the doc.

    I've always had a soft spot for Thumbing My Way.
    The whole album is great, one of my favorites.

    For a long time it was I Am Mine but recently it has become Thumbing My Way.

    You Are....I was thinking today that this album came out 9 years ago already. These 9 years flew by for me.

    Can't keep.


    I will say that LBC had me sobbing at Alpine. Seriously sobbing. I've had a tough year and I just lost it during that song. A lot of PJ songs make me emotional, but I've never had a reaction like that. The lyrics, the venue, the moment just washed over me and I lost control. Ahhh....the power of PJ.

  • I think I should listen more Riot Act because I can't decide which one is the best, there are so many great songs like;

    Save You
    Ghost
    Can't Keep
    All Or None
    Bushleaguer
    Thumbing My Way
    CAN'T KEEP CRAZY MARY IN MY TREE NO WAY NOT FOR YOU. ALL THOSE YESTERDAY JEREMY is ALONE, SAD with RATS & BUGS it's HARD TO IMAGINE a JEREMY a BETTER MAN.
    LIFE WASTED, BLOOD on the PORCH, LAST KISS is a WISHLIST DEEP DOWN NOTHING AS IT SEEMS WHY GO COME BACK ALIVE SPIN THE BLACK CIRCLE and SMILE.
