    If I could put together all the song's that moved me,It would come in a box set of cd's. Every time I read these posts, I'm reminded of even more songs that had slipped my mind.It's good to see such a variety of songs from different fans.And that's why you touch so many.Everyone takes something away with them.Real Songs, Real People, Raw Emotions. Can you really fathom the depth of your connection with People. We're not alone. With our thoughts, Our experiences, Our longings.Because we all share it," In Song" With Love, just another fan. :D

    Tough to answer, for the 21 and whatever years its Been, many songs have meant a lot. This fucking band has literally saved my life, there were times I was so depressed in the past this was the only thing that made me happy. The first song I heard was Oceans, start of side 2 on my buddies cassette tape. Oceans fucking blew my mind. I bought the tape the next day, ripped down my Warrant and Poison posters and hung the cassette sleeve up, did the same when I bought the disc, my first CD ever. First song I heard and it changed my life, it was pretty cool growing up with Pearl Jam.

    To answer the simple question Oceans means the -Most- to me, great fucking tune but probably not my all time favorite Mookie song.

    Hands down for me is Long Road. The lyrics are beautiful. The story behind it is personal to Ed, and I'm a theatre teacher. So there's that connection to. But to me it's the bees knees. :D

    I could never pick just one, but lately unthought known is one I have listened to over and over. We all have our own interpretation, but seems very relatable with things going on in my life at the moment.

    lately yellow ledbetter...the story behind the song makes me sad. I have family in the military. war may not be the answer but people die trying to protect what they think is right. I wish I could get the real lyrics to that song. I like thinking "I DONT KNOW WHETHER IM THE BOXER OR THE BAG", story of my life. black sometimes makes me cry, especially if I listen to it after foo fighters' best of you. its like they wrote the songs for me, its exactly how I feel and what I would say if I could. but i'm the most non-musical person in the world. I cant play an instrument, I play the radio. :cry: I've also been feeling porch lately...there are so many good songs, its like lays chips you cant have just one. and any tribute to andy, he really had a way with words and music (my only tools). I get such a vivid picture when I hear man of golden words. it breaks my heart to see chris cornell perform that on youtube and then go into pink Floyd comfortably numb. on a lighter note corduroy and not for you ring true for me as well.

    Pearl Jam has been the soundtrack of my life for 20+ years. They got me through my suicidal teen years, Garden would play over and over. As I got angrier I would listen to Once or Even Flow to get out my aggresion. When I lost my father, Alive got me through and then Release Me helped me deal with the pain. As I got older and my life got better PJ was there to help me get through some tough decisions, like moving out of my small town and away from my family and friends to make a better life for my daughter and I. Small Town was my song for that. My theme song with my friends since high school has been Crazy Mary. (my name is Mary) They still sing it to me when I see them. I could go on and on but, I know that I will be listening to Pearl Jam in the retirement home, they all mean everything to me.

    there is no clear winner in this contest for me

    my thoughts would change over time. nothing is consistent when dealing with a top 20+ list, where all the entries are valid/equal
