    I have a very high opinion of Gone. I view it as a classic. The "for the lights of the city" bridge is just incredible-sounding to me. But, hey, to each his or her own.
    I am lost, I'm no guide, but I'm by your side.
    I am right by your side.

    I AGREE 100% It's a crap song. Bad lyrics....boring progression....I could have written this in high school.

    I'm sure everyone's been awaiting my two cents, so here it is...I noticed he "accidentally stumbled upon" Gone, therefore he didn't know he had it on the pod and hasn't listened to Gone too many times. So he made is opinion based on a few listens, he'll come around and realize that Sleight of Hand is their worst (if there is such a thing as worst PJ song)

    It´s a lamer version of "Given to fly". I wouldn´t say it sucks but it´s not one of their top 50 songs.

    Whale Song & Sweet Lew at least have a little soul. Gone is just boring and full of cliches. I don't know if it's the worst song they've ever done, but it is definitely in the bottom 5 in my book.

    Gas in my tank...like money in the bank?

    I'm gone...so long...

    Lame. I can't believe it made the album, and can't believe they take time up in shows by playing it live.

    There is not one bad PJ song. Just listen to the crap in the charts and then go back and listen to Gone.

    i though most people liked gone . . . perhaps those who dont are just a little more vocal than the others.

    i am UTTERLY SHOCKED however to see some of the talk about Ten and Vs being garbage - i honestly dont even know how to respond to such ludicrous statements . . .

    Yep Im in total agreement with original poster. Whilst I think there are way worse PJ songs - Gone to me is weak and Im embarrassed to play it to nonhardcore fans
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me.

    thank you very much
    with reviews like this, it's surprizing nobody ran with it on the radio as PJ's 3rd single off of 'pearl jam'.
