    Really?!? Wow.

    I've always thought this was one of their best!
    Agreed, I can't get enough of Long Road live.

    for me, it is "Daughter". Song kind of bores me.

    I could do without the extended version - if they played the album version, I wouldn't mind it as much. I love the "It's OK" tag, but outside of that, I find the extended version of Daughter very lackluster.

    (It was especially annoying to see them do the extended version @ GCF when they only had 12 songs to play. They could have easily fit in another tune)

    Immortality???? Really?????????

    I don't know this song could be listed in any "least favorite" list....Let alone listed with f'n Sirens....

    Wait a sec, you're just messing around, aren't you? Alright, I admit it. I fell for it.
    I'm with you 100%.. I feel like Kat and Sea should ban him for this.

    For me, it is "Last Kiss". Heard it too many times, and I find the lyrics so cheesy.
    (Interesting thread ... I can't believe someone's least favourite is "Long Road". It was the opener at Vienna 2014, and that is probably one of my top 5 PJ moments. I get chills every time I listen to the bootleg.)

    Corduroy. I absolutely love the studio version as well as the early live versions. Every time I've heard it live post 2000 tour, it just doesn't sound the same.

    THANK YOU!! For me, there are no songs i wouldnt mind hearing again aside from this one. I live in LA, and in the Spring of 95, Corduroy was overplayed here, along with Green Days When I Come Around, leading me to not really care for either. There was a day when KNAC started playing Corduroy, feeling fed up I switched to KROQ, who was playing the tail end of When I Come Around, i sat through it only to hear the beginning of Corduroy, so I switched to KLOS who was halfway through Corduroy so I just heard it and then they started playing When I Come Around so i angrily switched back to KNAC where Corduroy ending... and then I hear the opening riff of When I Come Around... I turned off the radio at that point. Since then, i just cringe whenever I hear either opening riffs!

    I don't think they're my least favorite, but RVM and Porch have gotten a little stale. I enjoy the jam section, but they always end up in the same spot in the setlist and are predictable and similar over and over again.

    I get tired of Jeremy sometimes, but then you hear a great version and you remember what makes the song a classic.

    I like these songs, but Black and Crazy Mary. Always long and late in the set. I would rather have two shorter songs instead. I think I've heard them at nearly every show I go to.

    Lucky. I have yet to get Crazy Mary and I look forward to the day I do get it.

    Edit- to keep the thread moving and not just leaving a comment, I will add Whipping to my prior post of Sonic Reducer as least favorites.

    I don't know this song could be listed in any "least favorite" list....Let alone listed with f'n Sirens....

    Wait a sec, you're just messing around, aren't you? Alright, I admit it. I fell for it.
    Never been a fan of immortality. Too boring. Those Ed songs on Vitalogy never did it for me.

    corduroy might be their best studio recording. it could do with a less live play. probably too late now..already been worn out

    I don't dislike any songs live, but my least favorite is probably Small Town. 'I just wanna scream hello' is always awesome, but overall, I hear it a lot, and can be a bit of a set killer sometimes.

    I'm going to guess that Vitalogy isn't your favorite album then. I've always heard it referred to as the Eddie solo PJ albim.

    Yeah I'm a Yield guy. The thing about those Ed Vitalogy songs is that the band didn't really add much to them. I feel like they are all playing the same thing. It was the moment Ed probably took over the songwriting reins. A different kind of Pearl Jam to me after Ten and Vs.

    I'm surprised by Long Road and some of the others that are very infrequently played. I love long road, and know it has a lot of personal significance for many. Feel blessed every time I hear it live. For me, there's nothing that is overly cringeworthy, but some songs I just feel like they don't need to play every night, so for that I'd say Betterman and Even Flow.

    Wow, there are some surprises on here. I'm trying to avoid obvious ones like Ole...

    This is actually tougher than I thought because there are some serious contenders.

    Just Breathe, Mind Your Manners, Sirens, Last Kiss

    There are more, but to sum it up it would be anything off of the last two albums except for two or three songs.

    Oh, and Mankind. Sorry Stone.
