Top 5 songs you don't need to hear again (studio version)

LEBERT19

Good question...

1. Last Kiss - easily
2. Sweet Lew - there's a reason this one is on Lost Dogs and nothing else
3. Evenflow - seattle radio stations have somewhat ruined this for me, even now, 18 years later it's on every hour
4. Bugs - why?
5. 1/2 full - its ok live, but the studio version does nothing for me

Gmoney

I just want to say that Evacuation and Parachutes are both in my top ten favorite PJ songs of all time. And I don't care what anybody says!!

electronic_dreams

Number 1 (by a country, it's a one horse race) : Parachutes
Number 2: Thumbing My Way
Number 3: Low Light
Number 4: Pilate (can't believe this hasn't got a mention yet?!?!?)
Number 5: Gone

This is exactly the reason I wasn't going to open this thread up... and it's the same reason I'm going to leave right after I post this...

People have varying opinions of songs... some songs are easier to dislike then others and it's understandable why people dislike them... then I see something like this and it makes me totally scratch my head... Off He Goes? Really? Wow.

Have fun in here, this thread surely is not for me.

TMudrick

Big Wave (yikes)
Last Kiss (Cringe)
Dissident (Just cant come around to it)
I'm Open (huh?)
Army Reserve (Just don't feel this one, they are trying to hard here and it doesnt work)


Its funny to see evenflow listed on so many lists...After ten redux, I have had evenflow on non stop repeat.

Tone

I can just list 2 off the top of my head...

1. Daughter
2. Better Man

Both for no other reason than it was death by radio. Live, I love hearing these songs... it saved them for me but I still don't listen to the studio versions... I feel like I'm back in the 90s being throttled over the head with them when there were so many other PJ songs I loved so much more.

Others would be the fillers on Vitalogy etc, as mentioned by several others... I didn't bother importing songs like Bugs or heyfoxymop... into iTunes.

all I'm going to say is you need one of these

goldrush

Not counting Lost Dogs that should have stayed lost (Sweet Lew, In The Moonlight, Black , Red, Yellow etc)

1. Parachutes
2. Come Back
3. Evacuation
4. Glorified G
5. Push Me Pull Me

Crane

1. Dissident: It's like a ten song that mistakingly got placed on Vs. Not that I dislike Ten, but the lead on this is very clichéd
2. Comatose: Ewwwwwwwwwwwwww!
3. Im Open: Nice the first time round, gets old after that
4. Last Kiss: Only enjoy it live
5. Evacuation: Why does lead play the same as the melody......drives me mad

megatron

Though Get Right is a throwaway, I think it rocks quite nicely, not nearly as bad as Help Help on Riot Act
Agree with you on All Night, horrible song. Never liked it on Lost Dogs, and couldn't believe the band started playing it live. I thought Black Red Yellow or Happy When I'm Crying were far more worthy of revisiting.

Thanks I think some people got the impression this was about hating, but that's not what it was meant to be at all.

I've viewed numerous threads where people talk about their favorites and always wondered what the percentages looked like (how evenly or unevenly spread they were across the different eras/albums/styles of song, etc...). I thought I'd ask the opposite question since most people seem hesitant to say anything that could be perceived as negative about the band we all love, and try out a more scientific approach to figuring out the tastes of this community.

The bottom line is everyone has their own preferences/tastes/etc.. and everyone's opinion is rooted in some form of validity whether or not they present it reasonably or not. Except jerks. I just won't respond to them.

pretext

1. Parachutes.
2. Yellow Ledbetter. I don't need to hear this live either.
3. The Vitalogy nonsense.
4. Come Back. Kick this, #1 and maybe Army Reserve off Avocado for me.
5. Wishlist.

Actually, there are a lot more (several from Lost Dogs) than I expected. I think it's why Vs. will always be my favorite. I don't feel there's any filler in there. I guess I feel that way about Ten too, but Vs. still wins the day.

PJSEMPRE

- Come back
- Big Waves
- Glorifiel G
- Get Right
- Unemployable
