    Since Red Dot is the easiest choice, I´ll contribute with one of the other two songs to be eliminated. And I like Pilate enough, so Push Me Pull Me it is.

    OP what is with not listing the songs in album order in the polls?

    This is a very good point.

    Lots of votes for Wishlist already. Must be the ebow...

    I do really wish they would have preformed GTF for Letterman instead of it though.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Too bad Pilate has such a terrible chorus. Love the verses and especially the bridge.

    Agree completely. Favorite bridge from any Pearl Jam song. Chorus sucks.

    I feel like Evacuation suffers from this as well. I still like it though, just could have been better.

    All Those Yesterdays
    I love this album so "weakest link" is difficult to apply. In any case... "All Those Yesterdays" is the weakest of these strong songs. Too bad about Red Dot going down so fast. I think it's cool, but I'm also a huge Jack Irons fan.

    This is the hardest one yet. Yield is pretty much perfect for me, even Red Dot. The next rounds are going to be a nightmare to decide!

    I'm not a huge fan of Pilate, but I love the lyrics "Stunned by my own reflection, it's looking back sees me too clearly."

    Pilate sounds great, but is handicapped by the stupid chorus.

    So, as I wake up and bring up this thread, Red Dot, Pilate, and PMPM are all eligible for elimination - as it should be.

    Any chance of ending this round a day early?

    It should. PMPM is much more interesting.

    Yes!

    Never been a fan of MFC. It got nothing going.

    Push me pull me is great.

    PMPM and MFC are both great songs. It makes me sad that more people can't see that.
    Anything you lose from being honest
    You never really had to begin with.


    Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.

    Have you ever known me to lie here? Yes, it's a fine song, but my least favorite. My ears, my brain, my experience. Sorry!

    Very cool that you find it so. I would never even think about criticizing you for saying that.

    PMPM is one of those tunes that is best on the record. Like I Got Id.
