    why does everyone hate on red dot song> people actually skip it? its like a minute long why bother.? the tempo changes are good, .. they use to come on stage with that song playing.....

    I started this thread a while ago and I though it had died but it's back.. SWEET!!!! Um for those who missinterpret stuff NAIS is an awsome song .....I just can't listen to it...and right now I'm listening to Low Light (which was on my shit list for a while but right now it sounds amazing!!!!!!!) My shit list changes everyday with songs I'm in to at the moment and the ones I'm not....it has a lot to do with the show that I listen to and the different versions....Mike or Ed can do something different in a song that i haven't been into for a while and just completely blow my mind and then I love it all over again...it's like a new song!!

    Wow. Lots of hate for NAIS. It's one of my favorites!
    yeah thats what i was thinking..

    favorites of mine that everyone hates:

    NAIS
    Who You Are
    Wishlist (lots of people actually despise this song.. mind boggling..)
    and the entire binaural album for that matter... especially NAIS and sleight of hand

    i love You Are too.. i used to skip it too until i actually listened to it... love it now.

    I can't listen to Black or Go.......c'mon i'm fucking with you. I looove those songs. I love NAIS as well. Must be missing something.

    I'm not feeling Sweet Lew, Whale Song, Evacuation...the usual really, if this thread is anything to go by. The thing is if i don't get a PJ song, i don't blame them.....i blame my stoopid-ass self for not getting it. If the people who wrote Black, alive, Insignificance etc write a tune, there MUST be something about it. They don't just make a fuck up and slap it on a record. I mean, Dirty Frank......wicked track.....it didn't even make TEN. Most bands would fuckin love to make a track like that. If i don't like a song, i listen to it until i do, if is till don't....i cry silently or something similar.

    Hah, maybe got a bit carried away, but does anyone know what i mean?
    Dirty Frank wasn't out for the Ten record. It was recorded during the Ten era though.

    Written/recorded (i believe) when they were on tour with the Funky Monks in 1992. Thats why its so-ah funkeh :)

    (funky monks being RHCP if you don't know that alias ;) )

    i find all their songs awesome, except "PRESENT TENSE" for some reason.

    what? people hate wishlist? that's my second favorite off of yield!

    I don't like a lot of stuff on binaural though. I liked it a lot at first and then it wore off me. no code was the opposite. it wasn't too good to me at first and now I like every song on it.

    I have to admit that almost all of the time I skip 'Black' and 'Thumbing My Way'.

    'Thumbing My Way' has some great lines in it, but I just don't feel it that close.
    And 'Black' seems too teeny and whiny to me, as most of Ten does.

    I'm one of those rare individuals that actually prefers the post-NoCode era.

    Same here, sometimes I think I'm the only one who thinks the first 3 albums are the weakest creatively.

  • Same here, sometimes I think I'm the only one who thinks the first 3 albums are the weakest creatively.
    i'd agree with both of you.

    i loooove thumbing my way though.. very simple, beautiful song..

    learn it on guitar and sing it to yourself when you play.. you'll never tire of it.

    I can't listen to(or prefer not to) live versions of Jeremy and EFlow, and the Ten version of EFlow.

    Oh, and Live Wishlist too.
    But I do love Stupid Mop. That song is better than the songs I've listed here, plus a coule others like Alive.

    Have no problems with NAIS, but I can't really get myself into Breath and Crown of Thorns... I usually skip them both on Garden DVD...

  • Yeah I've never been much into "breath". not a very good pearl jam song in my opinion.

    I agree, Last Kiss just doesn't do anything for me. I think Thumbing My Way is a beautiful song, but I always find myself skipping it. I'm also really not into Pilot. I don't know why....

    i used to hate master/slave - i mean absolutely loathe. now i like it. it took 15 years of getting used to. i still can't listen to indifference that much. great lyrics, music too bluesy for me.

    i also agree that i prefer most of the newer records - only b/c i think i have grown with them. i actually like vitalogy - alot. dont get me wrong, i do love live cds from '91 and ten and vs and all the screaming.....i do watch alot of the old shows more than i listen to the cd's b/c i think more energy comes from seeing some of the ridiculous shit eddie does - i love those.

    the newer stuff just sinks in better now. maybe i'm getting old too :(

    Quite a few on lost dogs (education, u etc...) I always skip nais and nothingman. Too depressing for me. Then theres black, which i dont want to hear everytime i play a boot (otherwise i will be crying everyday!). Then theres small town (coz i dont want to ruin a wicked memory of hard rock cafe and singing that song). I do have to psyche myself up to listen to some songs (present tense and sleight of hand, which i love). If i dont, then i cant listen to it. So i guess it depends on the mood.

    Wow way to much hate for this song... its probably my favorite on the Binaural album i dont get it. Look a little deeper ya know?
    They just dont understand what it means to love some silly little peice of music, or some band, so much that it HURTS.

    I don't "hate" the song especially not the lyrics....and it's not that i haven't ivestigated the deepness of the song, it's just the music mostly the guitar rubs my ears the wrong way...thats all no hate no no no

    Bee Girl, Stupid Mop, Bugs(this one really annoys me) and Arc are among the few PJ songs I just cant sit through

    Oh yeah and Gremmie out of control...what the hell is up with that one
    I've faced it, a life wasted, and I'm never going back again.

    Sometimes I can't listen to 'God's Dice'.

    But definitely 'Stupid Mop'.

    It's funny...I want to like this song, but I can't because it just gives me the creeps all the time. And it sorta ruins 'Immortality' for me each time I listen to "Vitalogy'..since 'Stupid Mop' is the last track...and I keep forgetting to skip the damn thing.

    everything about this song bugs me now. I used to like it. now I dislike the lyrics, singing, music, everything.

    it sounds to me like a take on REVOLUTION 9 from the WHITE ALBUM, so does some of the rest of VITALOGY, which can't be bad
