I agree, and i´m not sure if we need spend time discussing about the worst song. We have a lot of best songs...sorry.

Talking about songs we like is boring. There is nothing to say. Here are the conversations in action. Which is more exciting.

#1
Person A: "I love Alive! It rocks!"
Person B: "Alive does kick ass. Especially the Philly '05 version."
Person A: "Oh yeah? I haven't heard the Philly version."

#2
Person A: "Parachutes sucks ass. I always take a piss break during that song."
Person B: "Shut the hell up. Parachutes kicks ass!"
Person C: "They hardly ever play it live but you ALWAYS take a piss break."
Person "Parachutes is awesome. What do you want, them to play Alive over and over? Go find another band asshole."

Wow, I'm shocked at the contempt for Gone. I was lucky enough to be at the Borgata show where it made its debut, and I fell in love the moment I heard it. It's one of my favorite PJ songs. Granted, Ed's solo version is much better IMO than the full band version, but I don't get everyone saying it's the worst song, blah blah.

Y'all need to get your hearing checked.

I will be, but I'll just keep rejecting this opinion about the song too.

Get off it. Pearl Jam has written some downright worthless songs, even if they are in the minority. Not everything PJ produces is silver-and-gold with a scent of jasmine and thyme.

It's simply unrealistic.

Seriously, people like you who continuously bag Riot Act must be so uneducated musically. I respect your opinion, but if this album was released at the height of the grunge era it would be applauded as one of the best albums of the decade.

From start to finish, Riot Act is intelligent both lyrically and musically. The three songs that you have have mentioned are on a par with just about everything off the first three albums and they are probably considered the weaker songs off the album.

Songs like Can't Keep, Save You, Cropduster, Green Disease, I am Mine, 1/2 full and All or None (one of Pearl Jam's top ten imo) are high quality songs.

You people need evolve your musical tastes a little, on Riot Act Pearl Jam are band pushing the boundaries and being creative...if only they released an album like this earlier on, they would be considered "innovators" today, instead of "Godfathers of Grunge!"

Same goes for Binaural.
