Is Come Back the worst song in the PJ catalog?

Boring, generic, lame, unimaginative...the worst song on Pearl Jam's worst album. It's not even worthy of being a Bon Jovi song.

They should have included another Matt Cameron song instead...to give the album some merit, and to piss off Message Pit members with bad taste in music.

Discuss.

    Looks like you need the stupid slapped out of you as well.

    Come Back is amazing. The lyrics hit close to home for me, and the guitar solo couldn't be more perfect for this song.

    Do you like Black? If so not sure why you dislike this song so much - they are different yes, but more or less the same concept and similar musically. Not to mention it has a pretty nice guitar solo. I personally like the latest PJ album a lot.

    Anyone who thinks that their latest album is their worst is not worth being taken seriously.

    I can handle it.

    username is more about "getting right" than the song in case you care, which you probably dont.

    I also find sleight of hand and nothing as it seems to be boring and I skip those to
    beer/bathroom songs at shows

    This is one of those songs that you can't truly appreciate until you hear it live (like Release or Wash).

    All in all it is not one of their best songs, but it is a good song. And to call it their worst song leads me to believe that you've never heard Help Help or Get Right?

    or In Hiding

    actually never both at one show as far as I remember-they know better than that!

    last time I believe was sleight of hand at storytellers
    might be wrong about that

    I dig the slow stuff, but those two, along with come back and thumbing my way are just kinda boring to me

    of course you can question it, thats called good communication and healthy debating

    help help is a great song! Way underrated IMHO. Ive heard comeback a couple of times live-its an ok song that bores me. tis all

    Yeah some are better than others but in all honestly is there much of any bands today that you can listen to as much music as PJ no and I know for a fact so all you so called PJ fans that complain about PJ songs then your not much of a fan because (ALL) PJ songs ROCK!!!

    what a brilliant first post
    actually the hardcore are way more critical of the band then the casual fans or even the johnny come lately types

    i think people start threads like this to start arguements - anyone else notice that the original poster hasn't said a word since the 1st post? (unless he has since the time i read the posts, til i posted this)

    without the slow part of the pearl jam catalogue there'd be no:

    release
    oceans
    indifference
    who you are
    off he goes
    present tense
    around the bend
    faithfull
    wishlist
    untitled
    low light
    light years
    thin air
    sleight of hand
    parting ways
    thumbing my way
    all or none
    yellow ledbetter
    fatal
    hard to imagine
    driftin
    parachutes
    wasted (reprise)
    come back


    not sure why i made a list, but eh, they stay.

    What a Munson; this guy is a true idiot.

    Comeback is beautiful, poignant, and truly inspiring. Also, Pearl Jam is their best album.

    i've been waiting for this thread for so long. come back is a worthless song, and the talk earlier in the year about it being an appropriate prom song was laughable. i feel like it kills the momentum on the album, and i nearly always skip it before inside job comes on.

    Again there are few and far between bands today that could outlast PJ and look at all the bands that are finally taking credit they are fans of PJ.. I love this band they are truly inspiring in every way.. They are what you call greatest bands of all time every album is different in so many ways and they first get criticised for it then boom it grows on you no other bands music can do they other bands songs suck or you like it PJ songs rock.. SO please to all idiots that complain about PJ songs please quit making youself look at fool and quit posting noone wants to here your whiniing go whine to your mommy. or dog or whomever will listen to you

    And I really dig most of them, except four, which I just dont like all that much

    come back
    thumbing my way
    sleight of hand
    nothing as it seems

    they are ok, I just dont care for em that much.
    all you haters back off
    those of you who like every single PJ song are most likely, not being objective

    My hatred of "Come Back" has nothing to do with the tempo of the song. It's a generic and boring piece of shit, regardless of how fast it's played, and I'm sick of people talking about how great it is, and then bashing PJ's more inventive and interesting songs such as those written by Matt Cameron. Apparantly, if a song has interesting chords and tempo changes, it's a "shitty song", but crap like "Come Back" is worshipped by the masses. People compare it to "Black", talk about how it was in "Friday Night Lights", how it should be their prom song, how it touches them in a special way and makes them cry, etc...you people are fucking LAME! "Black" and "Come Back" shouldn't even be mentioned in the same breath.
