Other than Pearl Jam songs, name a song you still enjoy hearing, even after several hundred listens.

Only rule is that the song must be at least 5 years old, to give radio stations enough time to keep playing it over and over and over again, long after it became a hit.

I'll start...


U2 - New Year's Day

Heard it last night, and shit, I swear it sounded better than ever. Wish the radio would play more songs off that record, though.

    Well, the radio doesn't play it... but for me it would have to Dream Theater's A Change of Season.

    I hear it at least 3 times a week, and there are times when it sounds way better than before. Amazing song.
