    Yeah Severed Hand is a top 10 for me and currently #1 on my bucket list of songs to see live. Love the main riff in the verses and that added guitar part in the second verse. The best part of the song to me is when it cools down and then erupts into the epic (and I don't say epic often) Mike solo. That's probably a top 3 or 4 Mike studio solo for me. 
    So good. Heard it in DC 08'
    Yeah, I became a fan in 2009, the year it became a rarity. Can't complain too much though, it's the only song in my top 10 I haven't seen and most of them are rare.

    So I gave Severed Hand another shot. It's not terrible, might even be a good song...I just don't think there's anything special to it. Actually, musically it's really solid theory wise. I like the contrast all over the different parts of the song. I think I'm just turned off by it lyrically. So, to a certain extent, I'll admit that I was wrong.

    I do not enjoy it live. Granted I haven't heard it since 2006 (with the crazy lasers). But I haven't listened to any recent versions.

    I´m not particularly a fan of any of the four left. I guess I´ll go with Severed Hand ... or Inside Job

    Inside job might not be their best song but deserves to stick around based on the Steve Gleason intro at Wrigley alone!

    If Inside Job gets just one more vote it will be tied with Life Wasted for second place. Would that mean Severed Hand is declared the winner?

    Wish we would have met one another at that point...you could have joined #thebrother & I after the show for some vodka and listened to me share how amazing a show it was BUT for the inclusion of my least favorite Pearl Jam song.

    #thebrother, in attendance at his first PJ show ever, looks to me during Parachutes to see if I was singing along.
    "Nothin' for you, brother."

    Parachutes is a better song than both Severed Hand and Inside Job. No doubt about it. It just doesn't really fit in the mold of the rest of the Pearl Jam album. 

    Heres a question. Parachutes done by say The Beatles or maybe a band like Wilco or fill in the blank...is that better than the other two I mentioned above AS A SONG? Is it a strong song but just severely out of place in the middle of an angry and political album?
