    For me it's the following;

    Present Tense
    Come back
    Green Disease
    Low Light
    Leash
    Slieght of Hand
    You Are
    All Or None
    Marker In The Sand
    Supersonic
    Edit: adding "Down"

    These songs may be somewhat popular and might pop up in a set from time to time, but at the same time I don't feel that they reached the heights that they deserved.

    For the New fans, Yield and After, all of No Code is underrated as a side note.

    If that's true, that's a very interesting point.

    Johnny Guitar? seriously you think it is one of the top 10 underrated Pearl Jam songs ever? obviously we have an amateur comedian, well that joke is pretty funny

    Parachutes, Army Reserve and Present Tense are all songs I like a lot, should of done a top 20 instead

    Been trying to figure out what I think under rated really means. So to me it means a song that I really love that doesn't get enough play time or maybe it is a song that I had heard dozens if times and then suddenly jumped up and snatched my attention with its awesomeness

    Parachutes
    Gone
    Army reserve
    Cropduster
    Ghost
    You are
    Drifting
    Undone

    I think all of Riot Act is sorely underrated.

    Also, Parachutes, Marker in the Sand, Pilate, and Undone.... and in could go on and on, right through Binaural and half of Lost Dogs!
