Picking a top three is like picking your favorite child... but here goes...

3) Breathe- one of the most powerful and lovely songs from the Singles soundtrack, went away for a while, thank God it's back.

2) Drifting- There's just something about this song that I love. I play it over and over.

1)Yellow Ledbetter- I know it's kind of cliche, but it doesn't change the fact that this was my first PJ love, and it remains all these years later.

1) and finally number one is: Long road. (there is no point in saying why, if you heard it you would know why)

I love this song too, the version off the Dead Man Walking soundtrack is the coolest.

i'm so light i hold just one breath and go back to my nest
sleep with innocence...
up here so high the boughs they break
up here so high the sky i scrape
had my eyes peeled both wide open, and i got a glimpse
of my innocence... got back my inner sense...

Omarama

too hard sorry.

This is the thread that never ends....and it goes on and on my friends

prljam85

blood- this is just an amazing song

Given to fly- I love this song, I love the vibe of this song

evenflow-I know this is a common PJ song, one of the few that you will still hear on the radio but its an awesome song. The riffs and solos on this song are mind blowing.

Merkyjamm

Black - The perfect depiction of love

Blood - The perfect depiction of mass-media

DTE - The perfect depiction of the blight that is the human genome

Perfect songs from a perfect band. Not a Jeremy in sight (I've never bought that tag, ya know?)

Yellow Bedwetter

Why Go - The metal side of Pearl Jam makes "Ten" intense and is a gift to hear live.

Indifference - Slow Song that makes you think about life, want to forgive others, and love.

Given to Fly - The greatest PJ song played live. I feel people scream louder to this song than Evolution and it brings together the feelings of this band in 5 minutes of musical bliss.

close second to any of these:
W.M.A.
Off He Goes
Faithful
Daughter

PearlJamHoosierfan

This was tough.

Garden - very dark, still gives me goosebumps every time

Betterman - my 2nd favorite song to hear live

Yellow Ledbetter - well.....betterman was the 2nd best live for a reason

today´s top 3:

Given to fly: as some people wrote, I think it´s the best pj song
Long road: amazing song, great lyrics. I loved watching the ocean just listening to this song.
In my tree: I like it for no special reasons.

my choices change every day, for me it´s difficult to make even a PJ´s top 20

GreyRedGirl

I Got Shit is the best tune I've ever heard so it's gotta be at the top of the list. ^_^

I enjoy Leatherman very, very much and I've been fortunate enough to see it live twice.

After that, I suppose my favourite is Down, what a fabulous song.

Honourable mentions for Soldier of Love, Faithfull and All Those Yesterdays.

Grievence, RVM, Even Flow

Leash- I love when Ed sings " get out of my fuckin' face"

Betterman - Ed Ripped this out of my brain and sings my life to a tee

Last Kiss- those were my thoughts before the release of this song - I hope and pray to meet Ed after I'm Dead

RVM
Indifference

RELEASE - such a b e a u t i f u l song !!!
CAN'T KEEP - another weird but extraordinary track.
LEASH - i name this here because noone has so far...and this one must be one of those unbelievably underrated songs!!!! What a pity!!!

This is a good thread. It's not your favorite song, but the best one's. Besides, who can only pick 3 favorites?

1. Black
I shouldn't even have to explain.
2. Wishlist
This song always makes me happy and brings me up whenever.
3. Immortality
The music speaks, but Ed's tone in his voice speaks even more.

and number 4.....
Yellow Ledbetter. This is a personal favorite. I love the Lost Dogs version [Live too! but] the lost dogs version makes me feel peaceful and at night I'll fall asleep everytime before the song's done.

Chimera

Bring this thread back to the front =D

1. Given to Fly - For all the reasons stated before, the vocals are so powerful.

2. Deep - Sounds completely different that any other Pearl Jam song, but in a good way.

3. Jeremy - Along with the video, it is a great song. Lyrics and the message stay in your head.

Androgynous Mind

1- Evenflow: the reason I am a Pearl Jam fan today.

2- Of the Girl: simply amazing.

3- Elderly Woman: reminds me of my home town.

satansbedbugs

Black: Lyrically one of the best songs ever written. Thats a bold statement!!

Indifference: " I will scream my lungs out, til it fills this roooooomm." Enough said?

Long Road: This ones for my grandma who is going to pass on soon. I Love You Always Nana......

Black - Full of so much emotion, but hey so are all of pj's songs.

Present Tense - The message in the track is just such a great one.

Indifference - Same reason as black.

LBC - you don't expect this from PJ...it is amazing. It may be my fav song ever

Last Kiss - showed there ability to not just sound good with their music, but by redoing somebody elses, and get major radio time for it

Black - You really shouldnt expect an ecplanation here

parel jam

1. In My Tree

2. Do The Evolution

3. No Way
