    And whoever mentioned Corduroy and Mike hating it after the 2000 tour. I'm right there with him. That song is way overplayed. Must be Ed's favorite. :anguished:

    :open_mouth: It's my favourite too! If you haven't already done so, please listen to their rework of Corduroy for Wrigley 2013 (unfortunately, until today, an OTOTO kind of thing).

    I would probably add Help Help to the list.

    OP, please have a look at this thread: Blackout Songs. You may find it useful. :wink:

    I would say that all the songs people call their white whale songs are considered songs that they don't enjoy playing.
    I mean who really wants to hear ghost or gods dice or sweet Lew?

    I love Ghost and God's Dice....I think GD is a defining PJ tune

    Sweet Lew is a good fucking around song

    I wouldn't mind hearing any of those live. Sirens I can't stand...The End, Future Days, Just Breathe

    Dirty Frank is a great song. It is a perfect example of why I liked Pearl Jam. It reminds me of the Pearl Jam that liked playing and recording music, that wrote interesting lyrics (creepy in this case), and didn't care about whether it was good or weird. For some reason I doubt PJ spends any time now in the studio unless they think the song could be on an album. I get that though. It's been 25 years.

    It's almost as if back then they threw spaghetti on the wall without realizing what it could stick to.
    Now they are more refined before throwing at us.

    edit - dirty frank and sweet lew are shit songs.
