in The Porch
and inspired by my listening to the full album discography in order today, here is my mixtape of the worst of Pearl Jam.
All done with love before anyone jumps on me for this.
in 30 years and with countless songs, you are always going to have a few tracks that either don't quite make the grade, or get the listener excited.
So here we go, a mixtape for that very un-special person in your life or someone that you really don't want to get into PJ.

1. Ole
2. Hey Foxymophandlemama, That's Me
3. Pilate
4. Got some
5. Johnny guitar
6. Sweet lew
7. Real thing (Cypress Hill/PJ)
8. Red Bar (untitled)

*Notable exceptions:
Arc - I know what this song means and what it is about and for that I couldn't include it.
Alive - Just because I've heard it far too many times. File under teen spirit, killing in the name, enter sandman. It's an incredible song, I just need to not hear it for 30 more years. Also it is not shit, in the slightest, no, no, no!

Whats on your shit list? What did I miss?
OMG HE INCLUDED PILATE?

    I actually love Red Dot.  It's probably not as enjoyable if you don't listen to it in the context of Yield, but I think it's pretty cool.
    I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on.

    You are
    cropduster 
    evacuation
    Unemployable
    parachutes 
    Can’t deny me
    Ghost
    In the moonlight 
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    Wow....ghost, you are and in the moonlight.
    Ooooof

    I always thought "you are" was just OK until the last time they came to Europe and played it at both london shows. Absolutely incredible live, takes on a whole other level

    I'll try this.  I hate bagging on any of their songs.  I'm not saying these are their worst, just some that I don't enjoy as much as others.
