I know I pose a tough one here.
Think about it. This is personal.
I could list 10, but which 3 do you hold as the 3 best Pearl Jam songs of all time and why---energy, lyrics and meaning, how it makes you feel, how the song parallels or relates to your life, Maybe the song has made you see things differently...your own justification is all that's needed here...

chills everytime I listen to it.
Indifference - it described my mindset to a tee for a certain period of my life
Footsteps - the line "I got scratches all over my arms, one for each day
since I fell apart". Its and amazingly emotional and tragic line.
I love it !!!!
Eddies vocals are unbelievable, at times give me chills...he sings this song from the soul..when I first heard it I used to get annoyed at the chorus..
where its mumble jumble...but just adds to the song..that it's perfect by being imperfect...it represents life..
Most of all, this song is to me--living and learning through life and doing so while keeping, or getting abck your innocence which this world can so coldly take from all of us!! Got back my innocence, still got it, still got it!!

:Similar- amazing combination of energy, vocals, guitars..tempo...building of the tempo...soul ,pain and indignant relief pours out of this!
For me, a song of a bad relationship, being with someone who takes advantage of you, maybe you were in love and too blind to see for awhile..
but your day of clarity came,,,...and you move on, hopefully doing so with your passion for life intact!! This song rips, and it does so in such an affirmative, empowering way--!! Unparalleled!
I couldve went so many different ways for my 3rd song:
Lowlight: Uniquely beautiful.. Going through life, getting wiser...
Seeing in people what you learned not to do long ago...
For me,...this song soothes..with meaning...classic.
I love the lyrics. I love the simple guitar grove and the emotion when ed sings
black-
man, who can't relate and it really gets me when at the end ed adds the we belong together line
In Hiding-
this song just makes me feel good. Don't know why it does though
Others who were in strong consideation for the last spot were indifference and state of love and trust.

indifference is awesome and makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up (i know thats a cliche). i love the "i'll keep taking punches, until their will grows tired" bit.
release - i cant believe a song so simple can be so damn emotional. i love this to bits
Black - simply a great song
Last kiss - most beautiful song
corduroy - just amazing
solat - omg this song makes me jump around everytime, esp the atlanta 94 version, so much energy in the music and vocals, great lyrics and riffs too.
breath - just the perfect combination of vocals, riffs, melodies etc. i love it to death!

2. Untitled
3. Blood
I like all these songs equally but above all the others. Blood has such a cool funky riff on guitar and i like wmf and untitled cause i'm a drummer and they both have really interesting drum beats. Give them a listen!
2. Do The Evolution - it just makes me want to rock out, plus the lyrics make me laugh even tho they are completely true and serious (if that makes any sense!)
3. Better Man - awesome song and cool lyrics. I love it when the drums kick in, it just makes me want to jump and sing the words as loud as I can.
Leave a message at least I, could have learned your voice one last time
Daily minefield this could, be my time, 'bout you
Would you hit me? Would you hit me?
(
your numbers 1 & 3 are probably two of my least faves! it's good too see so many different opinions and views on things on this board, anyway, yeah they have so many songs it's hard to choose! i'd probably go black, yellow ledbetter and hold on
i know someday you'll have a beautiful life,
i HOPE you'll be a star,
in somebody elses sky, but why, why, why can't it be, why can't it be mine?!
2. Blood - "It's MY Blooooooooooooooooooooooood"
3. Do The Evolution - "This land is mine, this land is free, I'll do what I want, irresponsibly...because; THAT'S EVOLUTION BABY!"
They all sum up how I generally feel about love, life and the world that we live in...
I may be boring but at least I'm not Jack fucking Johnson.
TV is such shit; let's go outside and ride bicycles, right now!

3)I Got Shit
2)Who You Are
1)Nothingman
I am a sucker for the depressing ones(#3)
i'll do what i want, but irresponsibly
it's evolution baby...."
I dont mean to be rude, but i'm sure ill sound that way, but you need to listen to more pj songs than just the ones on the greatest hits.
My top 3:
Immortality
Untitled
Present Tense
I think you don´t know me, and you don´t know which albums i have and which songs i already listen, i love all songs, but these are the best for me. You like other songs, i love them too, but these are the ones i would choose if i would only could choose 3.
2) Alive
1) Yellow Ledbetter
Why?
Down - great, smooth guitar solos, and I love the lyrics. It's a song about hope.
Alive - once again, smooth guitar, kick ass solo, and Eddie's voice in it
Yellow Ledbetter - I don't even need a reason for this song being number one
Untitled is a nice piece...live on two legs version is fantastic and they roll into an amazing rendition of MRC
I cant even chose...
Jag önskar att jag var en jävla grungare!!
she is a ghost. what do you expect? :P
Jag önskar att jag var en jävla grungare!!
I got Shit - Such passion - "So I'll just lie alone and wait for the dream Where I'm not ugly and you're lookin at me" - fantastic line.
Yellow Ledbetter - Mike's guitar
Rearviewmirror .. the music works so well with the lyrics - although I'd interpret them slightly different to you. For me I see it as a son who's been abused by his father for years, as a child hating his father and the abuse, not really understanding it or how to escape. Then as he grows up he realises he no longer needs to fear his father - sees him for what he really is and finds the courage to leave the situation. Eddie just writes it far more poetically than that!
Given To Fly -- Just a fantastic song. Period.
Sleight of Hand -- A wonderfully weird song, I can listen to this one over and over and never tire of it.
Fatal - why didn't it make it on Binaural?
Go - "Don't go on me"
Other favourites are Not for you, Save you, Sad, ...
Salzburg 2000
Vienna 2006
Munich 2007
1) indifference~"I will the match this morning; So I won't be alone. . ." its just a beautifully spooky song that every time i hear it i get goose bumps and chills up my spine. . .
2) Alive~for a more personal reason. . .to make a long story short. . . back in the day my best friend(who so happens to be my guitar player) was forbidden to see me anymore by his stepmother(for all intensive purposes she will herein be known as the BITCH) because i was a "BAD INFLUENCE" and ALIVE just seemed to be on the radio every time we snuck out to see each other. . . "I'm still alive. . ."
3) immortality~such a moving piece of art. . . paints a vivid picture. . .like a video in my head. . .everytime it starts. . .moving words. . .such diverse lyrics. . . all those years spent detained having to write out passages from dictionaries. . . finally paid off. . .
i must say this was a difficult task to pick three and only three. . . every pj song has a special place in my heart and in my life. . . thank you for making me tour the vessle in my head and come up with this. . . i had a great time with my mind. . . trying to figure it out. . .

I have at least ten more that are tied for first with these three...I mean these songs really bring goose bumps up and down my arms and make me tear. I've got about 25 strong second placers, 50 third places that I really enjoy and will listen to forever and theres maybe 5 or six I could do without...but who knows... maybe someday they with climb up into the rankings.
it all depends on how much you post, darling
Jag önskar att jag var en jävla grungare!!
Last Exit.....Some of ED's best lyrics(my opinion)
Boy this is harder then I thought......
ummm...Wishlist...Pure Poetry
but memories...they eat me
I've seen it all before,...
bring it on cause I'm no victim.
-Ghost
Given To Fly -- What a great song for relaxation. Great lyrics also.
Thin Air -- I want this to be my wedding song. I love these lyrics:
"It's not in my past to presume,
Love can keep on moving in both directions.
How to be happy and true,
Is the quest we're taking on together"
This is the best combo I've seen so far on the first page............
