Does anybody agree that evacuation is probably the worst song in the Pearl Jam catalogue??? I must say I'm pretty happy they don't play this song live anymore, haha.

    considering the songs that are on the studio album, you must be right, evacuation is maybe the worst song in PJ catalogue...

    I consider Wishlist to be the worst actually.

    I like Evacuation but it doesn't mean it's in the same league as the some of the awesome songs like Alive, Black or Betterman....

    I have a friend who hates it so much we had and argument about it, and Education, he dislikes that to.... fool.
    Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...

    ... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.

    How dare you?!!! ;) It's so pretty a song!!

    As much as I don't like Evacuation, I think I'm with Jenny on this one... Last Kiss... uuughh... I just can't stand that song anymore, there was a time when it was fine, but now...
    y la banda de Guille... cuando toca?

    It's probably very close to being the worst, but I dislike Help Help more.

    might not be the worst, but it truly does suck

    if we are throwing out opinions...
    I think evacuation is greatness
    I also hate everything studio-wise before vitalogy
    and loathe everything studio-wise after riot act

    Red Dot is the only song I really hate - I like Evacuation, Help Help, Education and Wishlist (took some time to get to notice the greatness of them) as well.

    So many great songs listed in this thread. "Sweet Lew" is the only one that isn't very good.

    I'm not a huge fan of Evacuation, but I like the line, "He sensed worry could be strength".

    I hate "Hard to Imagine". No, I'm not kidding.

    clearly, that is the worst track Pearl Jam or perhaps anyone has ever released.

    Help Help and Education are great!

    I think Help Help is the worst, but Evacuation is around there too.
