    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.


    no chance bugs is alot worse!

    no it's gotta be who you are.....or if you want to consider lost dogs, there are some bad ones on there (not too many though) like bee girl, sweet lew etc.......also i know people won't like to hear this but i'm not a big fan of dirty frank either. it just doesn't sound like pj to me. it sounds like a bad chili peppers rip off which is understandable considering they wrote it while playing with the chili peppers.
  • I don't like Evacuation, but Sweet Lew is worse.
    Let's say knowledge is a tree, yeah.
    It's growing up just like me.

    I for sure would take evacuation over dirty frank any day !
    Evacuation is NOT a bad song.
    Everyday................is Pearl Jam Day.

    Except Sundays, that's Ed day.

    When I first posted this thread I did it simply because I thought that Evacuation was the least appealing song in the PJ catalogue. I realize that people will have different opinions about the song but when people start saying Sad is just as bad or even dirty frank, something is definatly wrong. Sad is one of the best bsides they have ever realeased.

    Also, some idiot decided to copy my thread and post one asking if Comback is the worst song. I would like everyone to know that this thread is in no way related to that other idiots, and that Comeback is one of my favs off the new album.

    You are all entitled to your own opinon but please have a clue when you respond....think before you speak because claiming that Sad is one of the worst songs, well you should have the stupid slapped out of you!!!!

    Sweet Lew would be the worst.

    Gotta agree with this statement. Evacuation would be the second worst PJ song (mainly because of the chorus)
  • I don't like Evacuation, I find it quite boring...Sweet Lew I don't like either but it's kinda fun...The one I like the least (cause I'm sorry I do not hate any of their songs) is Stupid Mop.

    No, the worst one is HeyFoxy ...Evacuation is a masterpiece to compare with the last one of Vitalogy...I knew there were a vote for the worst p jam song and it was that one HeyFoxy and Evacuation was not...where is the link ?

    we checked out hey foxy the entire way through on a roadtrip last weekend. our mission was to scare the shit out of our sleeping friend.

    it worked :D

    There are worse, but it is indeed pretty shit, its hard to believe the same band wrote songs such as rearviewmirror and given to fly.....

    Its not that good...but far from worst.

    Can't believe no ones mentioned In the Moonlight. I don't know if i ever finnished the whole song. It sucks!!

    Come on, why hasnt anyone commented on the guy saying Hard to Imagine is the worst??! You cant say that, it's one of their best!!

    Wishlist is also a great song! And Last Kiss kinda sucks.

    Unemployable is fantastic! I wish there was another verse!


    I agree. It reminds me of Tom Petty's "Into the Great Wide Open"----a good song that they forgot to finish. Both songs need another verse.



    My $.02

    I think Evacuation and Thin Air ok. I love Wishlist, Sad and I Am Mine. I did not like Help Help until I discovered how much it kicks live

    As for ones I'm not crazy about...
    I think 1/2 Full and Get Right are filler and nothing more. But my least favorite Pearl Jam song is definitely Parachutes



    EDIT---Oh yeah, and I don't love Hard to Imagine. Its ok, but not in my top 70 Pearl Jam songs

    God's Dice is my less favorite.

    I won't Stupid Mop or pry to or Arc as songs...

    I've heard it live twice...and it did nothing for me. At all. I would be happy if I never heard it again, on record or otherwise.
