    Breath, by far, imo
    still havent heard I got Shit live but still doesnt think it comes close
    Breath is quintessential Pearl Jam

    Is anyone keeping a tally? I think it's pretty close

    Too bad they don't have a feature on this site to let people vote on which one they like better.

    Like a poll or something.

    They are two completely different songs, it's like apples and oranges. But that might just be me, I hate saying songs or artists are "better" than any others...they're just different.

    Breath... awesome riff, awesome bridge.
    Smokey Robinson constantly looks like he's trying to act natural after being accused of farting.

    I Got Shit > Breath but recently I have to say 1/2 Full is > most

    I recently fell in love with that song more than anything. Maybe its gas prices increasing but..

    Won't someone save..the world???

    I feel both are a little overrated to be honest. I like the verses in Breath but the chrous doesn't really do it for me. I Got Shit is so bleak its untrue, although its probably the better song...So...

    I Got Shit
  • NeverbeenLedbetterNeverbeenLedbetter Posts: 213
    Breath is a great song that I re-discovered after about 10 years of liking it in its first go around off of Singles. However I fell in love with I Got Shit almost the first time I heard it and it's in my top 5 PJ songs almost all the time.

    BREATH, BREATH, BREATH, BREATH, BREATH, BREATH...............

    It's almost a tie (for me at least) but "I Got Id" takes the gold for it's lyrics.
    But Breath is still a kickass song and if given the choice I'd rather them play Breath on Saturday in Mansfield.
