    Brain of J. is one of the best openers on any PJ album imo

    No need for strategic voting since it's pretty clear which 3 are heading out, though I'm baffled by the votes for Brain of J.

    Same. Faithful is good, just not at the level of these others for me. All Those Yesterdays would probably be next on the block, but that's where it gets very tough. I love that song. Such a strong Beatles vibe to it. That one and Low Light are so representative of what Yield really is to me. It marks the time when they really started to become the band they were going to be for the decades to come.

    But this album wouldn't feel quite like Pearl Jam to me without Brain of J.

    As has been stated already, really surprised to see BoJ with 2x the votes of DTE. I honestly love them both and thought for sure people would be voting it out just because they're sick of hearing it live, much like Even Flow got bounced too early. Glad to see it hanging tough though because it's the last heavy rocker on the album and a good song with better lyrics than BoJ.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Brain of J. Damn. Another one of my all time favorites. Thought it would have a better chance. I guess the PJ I love isn't quite the same as the majority

    At this point, I am so close to Yield personally, I am simply voting for the song that I don't feel as deeply attached to vs. the others. I don't know any other way to rectify a vote. This is so difficult but I love it so.

    I'm all in on In Hiding, but if it loses to GTF... it would be noting to be ashamed about.

    Aside from the argument that "Release" upset either "Black" or "Alive," I think the "biggest" songs on each album have been winning these polls - it's tough to argue against "RVM," "Corduroy," and "Present Tense." For this reason, a "Given to Fly" victory would be in line with what's been happening here.
    With the above said, the outcomes for the next five records should be VERY interesting. I honestly have no idea what you all will be selecting.

    Valid.

    Think of Avocado. I'm going to have to get back into that album and refresh myself with it.

    Says the guy who voted for Faithfull.....
    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.

    Both songs are stellar, hopefully it ends in a tie.
    What happens if there is a tie? is there any rule? should we make one now?
    What about counting the votes the songs got on each round, the one with less votes obviously wins...

    We just wait....and wait......and wait some more, if necessary, until someone out there breaks the tie.
