    I think Rival does rock actually. good riff, good breakdown. not the best lyrics but it doesn't deserve to mentioned with the pile of crap that is Help Help.

    Rival >>>>>>>> Help Help
    “Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you’ve got about a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies — ‘God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.’” - Kurt Vonnegut

    I just listened to Binaural like three times through. I love Rival.

    Rival is one of my favourites from Binaural. Help Help I like too, just not as much as Rival. So to answer your question, Help Help sucks more.

    ill say help help is better just cuz ive seen it live and it's AMAZING, still have to see rival live though.
    Wouldn't it be funny if the world ended in 2010, with lots of fire?

    Both songs rock. But to answer your question, I guess Rival sucks more only cause Help Help rocks harder.

    I really enjoy help help... Rival, not so much. Dunno why, just my opinion

    Don't it make you smile?

    Im not looking to bash anyones favorite song, I just wanted to know if anyone thought like me about those two songs. For me, I love all Pearl Jam songs, with the exception of those 2 songs. I just think that some of the "if pearl jam shit in a tin can id listen to it" fans are going a tad over board. If Pearl Jam were a new band today, and this was on their first CD, they would flop.

    Period.

    But, I digress...

    :) - hey, it could be worse. I could have started another "I ran into Boom" thread...

    rival rocks.

    not a fan of help help... although when they played it during msg2 2003, i was so f'ed up, i was so zoned into it, and it rocked.

    other than that experience... it sucks.
