TOP 3 P J SONGS of ALL-TIME & Why !

Horos

This is very hard more songs pop to mind as I try to make my list but here it is:

RELEASE: Easily the best PJ song ever the vocals are just incredible!!!

PORCH: I agree this is not getting enough love what a great jam song!!

Those were easy now this is were it gets really hard but I'll go with:

SAD: Just a wonderfully written tune that was shoved up my list after Portland '06!

Ms. Haiku

Alone: great sounding song, lyrics flow, great to run to.
Porch: ultimate concert song
Dirty Frank: it takes a certain talent to write this song. Not everyone could write it or come close, or admit to coming close to writing it

These are old songs, so I wanted it known that I think there are stellar songs on the newer albums, also. In fact when I listen to ARC I make sure to be aware of all that's around me, and to say thank you/Hello to those I can't see. I don't do this with any other song, PJ or otherwise.

3. U---EVER SINCE I FIRST HEARD THIS SONG IT SEEMS TO SPEAK TO ME....
2. Wash---classic PJ song....
1. Rearviewmirror ...my favorite song since i first heard it in '93...got me through alot of hard times!!!

BCBLOOD

Betterman - Just makes me calm when I listen to it, and the song has so much heart.

Wishlist - "I wish I was the verb to trust and never let you down"

Yellow Ledbetter - Uplifting and amazing, favourite song to play on guitar.

My top three:

1 Garden
2 Of the Girl
3 Betterman

I cannot really explain why I chose these three, there are dozens PJ's songs that can be easily put on this list. However, these are probably the closest to my heart right now (corny, I know...)

bookmuse

Footsteps -> simple song but the pure, raw emotion in Ed's voice chills me to my bones. The scratches all over my arms ...since I fell apart line -relatable.

Eldery Woman...Small Town -> the lyrical imagery

I Got ID - great song - i identify with this song

needless to say there are so many more but today that is what I have

For me...

Black - simply a great song

Last kiss - most beautiful song

corduroy - just amazing

covers are not allowed...lol

The Waiting Trophy Man

off he goes - it kind of reminds me of myself. other than that it's just a very moving song.

corduroy - even after all these years and the millions of times i've listened to the multiple versions i own, i never tire of it. even if i don't listen to it for a while, those chords come bouncing along in my brain and i find myself singing.

undone - i pick this as my third not only because i love it, but i could not believe what i was hearing when i heard it. besides 04/20/02, this is the most stunning song on lost dogs. it is so fucking good! that melody, those lyrics, that amazing sonic ending - play that one again before continuing - and then play it again!

Scigatt

Current tops

1.Dissident - Gives me goosebumps everytime I listen to it.

2.I'm Open - Great 'lyrics', and an amazing ambience

3.I Am Mine - Awesome intro, heartfelt lyrics, and very,very nice guitar work.

Hon. Mentions: Black, Hail Hail, Daughter, Better Man, Red Mosquito, Alive, Save You, Army Reserve, Present Tense

Kirkwood

The list for today:

Porch (The first one at wich a realised, that this is a great band)

Faithful (The song is beutiful,sad, rockin, I just love the riffs after "We all belive"

Nothingman (Didn´t like it a year ago, but now it´s my favorite pearl jam song, simply becuse it reminds me of my ex girlfriend)

Roeghmann

Alive - the first ever heard is still special to me
Given To Fly - simply just love the song
Hail, Hail - it seems to get stuck in my head and the lyrics are great

porsche007

Well i have been thinking about this now for 30mins and im still struggling.......:(

There are just so many great songs its a near impossibility to form this opinion and i could make top ten list easily and any of them could come into this top 3 .................However here it goes based on long-term listening and what really makes me smile deep and not just smile as it is a pearl jam great song.


Black - Just the most beatiful, powerful song ever written in my opinion. It just is such a beatiful ballad and the infamous line "I know someday" is just well a line that is legendary and could touch the hardest of hearts

Yellow Ledbeter - Just because well,,,,,,,If it is good enough for PJ to end every show on, i would guess it must be one of their favs. Just a great song, great vocals, great guitars and well how MMac can manipulate the guitar chords and how Eddie the lyrics makes this unique as well.

Given to Fly - Simple !! I listen to this song and i naturally end up thinking im Eddie on stage, playing air guiter, clenching both my hands around a imaginary mic and just belting this song out. This is my max volume on the car stereo and mp3 song and I just love it.....

To many more to mention - and the new album has for me added in 2 classics with Inside Job and Come Undone.

Given to Fly

Black

Long Road

Need I say more.

I think three is the perfect number for me

1. Corduroy
2. Sad
3. MOTH/Leash depending on the mood

The Dark Rider

1.In Hiding- Great lyrics,great music and it just reflects my general mood so superbly.One of the best songs I have ever heard in my freakin' life.

2.Nothingman- That song reminds me of someone who I have met 10 years ago.Her fav PJ song was also Nothingman. I've never seen her again after the day we've met.

3.Smile- I've got many memories concerning this one.Long story. That song really has changed my life in 1996. Another thing is that I 've only seen PJ live once on November,19 in Istanbul,1996. They had also played "Smile" during the encore and just before the last song which was "Porch". I was very impressed by that performance and probably it was the best live performance I've ever been the witness of,from any band I've seen live on stage.

For me there's no bad PJ song in history,only there are better ones.

Cheers folks.

TrixieCat

Garden-So fu*&ing passionate and alive. My 2 yr old loves it too!

Given To Fly-The crescendo is amazing. Guitars, vocals, rhythm section.

Why Go-Eddie just sounds so pissed off. Again, the passion.
