    i don't think breath's lyrics are cheesy as some said! breath is an amazing song, and to here it live would be epic, but when it reaally comes down to it i'd definitely said i got shit. i got shit is one of pj's very best songs. there is just something about it that makes it so amazing.

    Breath is the obvious choice here.

    Breath...by a long way.

    I find I Got Shit a bit of a non-entity of a song really, it's okay but it's no Breath that's for sure

    Both great songs, but I Got Shit is much better.

    Breath is quintessential Pearl Jam

    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.
