edited July 2005 in Words and Music...Communication
So I never thought this to be possible.... but there is one Pearl Jam song (only one) that I can't listen to, every time it comes on i change it...I have tried and tried to let it grow on me but it doesn't happen...and the song is Nothing as it Seems. So is this really bad????Does anyone else have a problem with this PJ song (or any other song for that matter) or am I just retarded???Keep in mind I'm not trying to start shit so please refrain from that angry e-mails...help to shed some light on my problem =)

    I don't like stupid mop. I just can't hear it.
    I think that who you are is a good song, but i don't like it very much, it actually depend on my mood, sometimes i really enjoy it. Is it strange?!

    Last kiss....only becuase it was played to death when I was visiting friends in Philly. Man, they played it every 20 minutes it seemed.......

    NAIS is definately a hit or miss song... when it first came out i was really into it, then i got kinda sick of it, but it is starting to come back and be one of my more favorite songs... I think Binaural in general is one of their best records (behind only No Code). the fact that that song became the face of that record kinda made me like it less, but on the whole Mike really plays the guitar well on it. its a very dep song and the more you hear it hte more things jump out at you. try taking some bong rips, close your eyes and try listening to it (and the rest of binaural for that matter)... it will be worth it
    peace

    The only thing that kept from wanted to ban that song "last kiss" is that the money from it was going to a good cause

    I can't listen to most of Binaural and enjoy it. Lots of the experimental vitalogy songs too.

    Red Dot...

    Definatly Red Dot........ and Green Disease, I dunno whats with that one, but i just cant get past the first 30 sec. of it.

    [edit] just thought of anotherone looking at another thread.....faithful. Not for lack of love for the song, but it was the first song I learned to play on Bass....I must have listen to that song six billion times broken up into six billion parts, and then played it twice that. I still love playing the song but i just cant listen to it anymore, i find my mind just bypasses everything and listens to the bass[/edit]

    I would have to agree that I sometimes skip NAIS....

    but I always can deal with that song when I am stoned and driving at night.....you know.

    I can't even get past the intro of NAIS it's an instant reaction....I think the only time I have ever listened to the whole song is when I have been at a show

    i've tried to like NAIS too but its just horrible. whats weird is that I absolutely love Sleight of Hand, which sounds similar.

    sometimes i skip NAIS also.. don't know why. i also skip nothingman sometimes... eh... guess it depends on my mood.
    There's a fear they'll soon be parting ways.

    even if you guys dont like certain songs, you can still learn things about yourself, pearl jam and music itself.. its never worth skipping a song, unless you are just not in the mood, or love a song a lot and you are saving its "freshness".....so just be patient, sit back and listen to everything, (not stupid mop) and enjoy it all...

    i realize my hipocritical statement might not make sense but you have nuthin but time to listen to these songs.........theres no rush.......


    nothing as it seems is amazing i like binaural because of the diverse written talent put on by stone ed and jeff,

    of the girl is also another beauty..........definite bong favourite

    For some reason, I can't get into You Are. It seems to be a pretty popular song on these pages, but I just don't like it. On the other hand, I will often skip songs, just cos I'm not in the mood.

    Wow. Lots of hate for NAIS. It's one of my favorites!

    I'll have to say Mankind, I can't listen to it and always have to skip the track, to me it doesn't even sound like Pearl Jam (I know its stone singing).

    Despite this No Code is still my favourite Pearl Jam album.

    NAIS is growing on me, just started to yesterday. Um, i've never really liked habit, evenflow i've heard too much and there is a couple i skip on Binaural and Riot Act, like evacuation and...well can't be bothered thinking of the others

    Being Pearl Jam fans....none of us really like anything "popular" thus those songs that are over played can be put on our "I'd rather listen to something else shit list" I'm thinking it doesn't mean we don't apprciate the song it's just that we have so many bootlegs and b-sides that we have all gotten addicted to something different that only pj fans are interested in....not the entire radio population. This is not to say tht we don't listen to ever pj album and still enjoy it's just that we spoiled =)

    There are a number of songs in their catalog that I skip over. For example, Leatherman does absolutely nothing for me. And I really can't stand You Are. BLECH.

    imo nais is are very nice song.

    the only pearl jam song i cannot stand is help help...i think riot act is one of their best albums..but this song...no....

    and of course i also skip stupid mop and the colour red but i think that does not really count because these two are not real songs

    Good artists that challenge their audience instead of playing it safe....well, they are going to have a few honkers that appeal to some and not to others. There are Beatles songs (Long and Winding Road) and Zeppelin songs(Dyer Maker) that I always skip. "Last Kiss" I ALWAYS skip!

    your problem is that U actually think that U can like every song from a band. it's not really possible. IMO
    I died. I died and you just stood there. I died and you watched. I died and you walked by and said no. I'm dead.
