    Release
    At some point along the way of being a Pearl Jam fan, all of these songs at some point would have been my pick in this poll.

    If you asked best live, I'd probably say Porch. But Porch might also be last of these if you ranked studio versions. All in all I went with Release. It gave me chills when they started on Release in MSG1.

    Nothing beats a good, live RVM.
    Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.

    Catchy riff, dark subject matter, blazing solo, Ed screaming his guts out... it's got it all.
    I smile, but who am I kidding...

    Yeah sorry I know not exactly fair, since I myself actually love all these songs, although they could play Release more

    Gotta go with my personal favorite.

    I've always loved it since it has a pattern (as Eddie has described his songwriting as) of ocean waves. It goes from quiet to loud, back to quiet, and so on.

    The intro gives me chills everytime

    Such an original song structure. I've never heard another song like it. Indifference is probably second best for me. That song just grows on you.
