    To be fair, the 1997 single had the R.E.M. song "Live for Today". I wasn't too crazy about that either at the time, but I've grown to like it. The difference is, I've always liked R.E.M. to some degree.

    Its not that great of a song, but as an REM fan its nice to have the last recording as a quartet.
  • I think it's great. I'm not a Jay Z guy at all but I like the "odd" mix for a christmas 45. It's exactly what I expect and love. And I CANNOT believe it made it to my house 2 days before Christmas this year. Nice job 10C.

    Outside of Ed not doing vocals, I don't see how this cover is any different from any other cover song they have released for an x-mas single.
    It's not a cover. It's another artist performing his own hit song. Big difference.

    Agreed. I like the music, but I'm indifferent about the spoken word verse.

    :lol: I love that folks are rationalizing this as a cover. :lol: what's the b side? Shit on a shingle? Or a ritz?
    Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.
  • It's only a record :roll:

    Why talk about any record here then? It's only music :?

    When the thread topic is "The 2013 Fan Club 45rpm Record...Opinions" on a board dedicated to Pearl Jam's music, it kind of limits the recordings that are open for conversation.

    Just for clarification (mostly mine), I was responding to the "it's only a record" comment.

    If anyone does not want their 45, I'll buy it. Not looking to pay ebay prices though. Send me a pm.

    i'm moderately surprised people have a problem with this single.

    i think it's fun and unique, and fits with the m.o. of most of their christmas singles.
  • I'll join you with this one... I am opened to PM s by accepting unwanted 45s as well :D

  • 1982 Queen released the Hot Space record... a disco funk theme album. Their fans were in disgust by it... bitched and whined over it that led Freddie on stage with a response... "it's only a fucking a record." Those words stuck to my mind ever since and to be honest Hot Space is one of their best records... it's different and unique :)

    Safe to say this will not be regarded as one of PJ's best holiday singles. Different and unique, sure.

    An ideal 10C single would be a PJ re-recording of "Homeless" and "One Step Up".

    It's too bad this board doesn't have a poll feature (or one I could see anyway). It'd be interesting to see who likes it and who doesn't.

    I'm in St. Louis and haven't received it either. Anyone gotten it here in STL yet?
  • The 45 has been shipped? No way? :D
