    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.
    "My road may be lonely
    just because it's not paved

    it's good for drifting away..."
    "What's the score?"
    "Nothing, nothing."
    "Who's winning?"
    "The Bears."

    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...

    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.

    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?)
    Too many cowboys, not enough indians, so just go ape shit!

    I may be boring but at least I'm not Jack fucking Johnson.

    Madrid 07/09/06 - Little mofo'ing Wing!!!
    Wembley 06/18/07 - Speechless

    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:

    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
    I have got to find the river,
    Bergamot and vetiver
    Run through my head and fall away.
    Leave the road and memorize
    This life that pass before my eyes.
    Nothing is going my way.

    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.

    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

    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.
    Happiness is only real when shared

    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.

    2- Of the Girl: simply amazing.

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

    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.
    Do ya see the way that tree bends?

    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
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    And I won't make the same mistakes
    (Because I know)
    Because I know how much time that wastes
    (And function)
    Function is the key
