To me, these songs are more atmospheric than psychedelic
I would agree. I don't think they really have any true psychedelic songs.
I agree that Pearl Jam songs don't qualify as real psychedelica, but the atmospheric songs do have a hint of psychedelica. Nothing as it seems for instance comes very close for me.
To me the same goes for Pearl Jam songs with a punk twist. They never really are real punk songs. They have a punk edge that show the musical interest of the band.
Good point. They've often incorporated the best aspects of various rock genres- punk, psychedelia, metal, folk, even a few hints of jazz-- this may be a stretch but I hear jazz influences in songs like "Can't Keep".
Maybe not the rhythm so much as the actual drum sound. I could see that a little.

Interesting suggestion. I never really to Can't keep that way. I am no jazz expert although I do like Jazz, but I can see what you mean. Apart from that I am very happy Stone convinced Ed to slow it down. The faster uke version is fun, but the Riot act version is pure bliss.
It's not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me.
on a scale of 1 to 10 in psychedelicness, PJ is a solid 6 in the studio and and a 7 live. IMHO. Vitalogy is like a 60's psychedelic record, bad-trip style. Binaural is trippily layered. It's HIGHly subjective. For me, the atmospheric stuff with more surreal lyrics do it, as well as the more jammy improv stuff. "Under your tongue, I'm like a tab, I will give you what, your not 'sposed to have"... Severed Hand... I actually find Black to be really psychedelic especially when Mike stretches out. Actaully anytime Mike stretches out it's trippy. In fact, Mike is trippy. And Ed's a trip. Stone is straight Trippin'. Jeff is tripped-out, and Matt is trippin' balls.
There are some songs like Of The Girl, No Way (if were talking strictly psychadelic sounding), a few others that they really could jam out much further if they wanted to take some chances.
Nothing as it seems Sleight of hand Of the girl In my tree Strangest tribe Of the earth WMA Yellow Moon Arc Cant keep Bugs Immortality Hard to imagine Present tense Inside job
I am of the mind to go home and make this a playlist....winner....would love to see this live...
"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
Since this thread started I thought open road fit into this category. The guitar and ed's voice is kind of trippy......(wish they played this one again) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asBmQXEsm5M

Since starting this thread I've been reading here and there what others consider "psychedelic music". Drugs are often referenced, of course, but equally are terms like "esoteric", interest in "spiritual planes", "altered states" (drug or trance induced).
This song surely fits some of those descriptions, starting with the water blessings (LOL but really, that's what it looked like to me), the esoteric lyric and the spacey guitars. So I would consider this one a "psychedelic ballad" .

Wow, what an awesome vibe. I wonder if the shows have gotten less intimate and experimental since the band knows pretty much everything they do will be watched again and again for all eternity.

Those that can be trusted can change their mind.

“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
I'd say it's a strong contender.
Beautifull, and yet another one on my wishlist for the vault series.
