    Nothing As It Seems not only does nothing for me but it annoys me. That guitar thing by Mike in the beginning is really irritating for some reason. I guess because it doesn't seem like genuine blues. It's like he just did it to do it, I don't know how to describe it. His solo later on isn't as bad it's just that opening lick. Although the song gets better at the "It's nothing as it seems.." part.

    I hate Off He Goes. Such a boring song. It also doesn't need to last nearly as long as it does.

    I hate Thumbing My Way.

    Betterman has also lost it's magic for me. Overplayed. I don't know how Eddie doesn't get sick of playing it all the time.

    Evacuation, Red Mosquito,Can't Keep, Gone


    I don't think the nature of the topic was 'what song are you tired of?' I have a hard time believing that none of you ever liked Betterman or Small Town, I think you are just tired of it, but that wasn't the question

    sign me up for that.

    songs that don't do much for me:

    sweet lew - pure garbage.
    thumbing my way - i think this song is supposed to be good, but it falls short and doesn't live up to itself.
    inside job (studio version) - a noble effort, but it's got a little too much lyrical cheese for me. it isn't terrible, but it's not a favorite. however, played live, it rocks.

    You just don't understand edgy rock do you? From Husker Du's New Day Rising to the Pixies Stormy Weather, now with Pearl Jam's coolest to the point punk blast Evacuation, I don't get get how people could dislike such great meoldies and rockin' music. DGNL is also genius for what it is not trying to do. Plus, they are fun and have cool riffs.

    Go listen to Coldplay :>)

    Define 'edgy rock'...I'm a HUGE punk and hardcore fan. I Love all sorts of music. I'll listen to Jaco Pastorius one minute, Minor Threat the next, and Joy Division the next. I just don't like these songs. I don't really care what they're trying to do or say, they just don't 'do' or 'say' anything to ME. And that's all that matters when it comes to music...

    1) Evacuation: I really, REALLY dislike this song. No, really.

    2) In the Moonlight: I would dislike it MORE than Evacuation, but I haven't had to sit through it in a live setting, so it takes second.

    3) Get Right: Liked it when I first heard it, but has become one of the few songs I'll skip over. Not a "bad" song, but it never really came off that great live, and the studio version is missing...something.

    4) Wasted Reprise: I just don't see the point in it.

    5) Army Reserve: Again, not a bad song, but it sounds a little too much like U2 to my ears, and the live version I could take it or leave it.

    6) Dissident: Although I'm sure there is some kind of unofficial rule that states a PJ fan must enjoy this song....I DON'T.....so get over it.

    7) Let Me Sleep: This one PUTS me to sleep.

    8) Angel: I've wanted to like this one since I first heard it, to no avail. I give up on it.

    That's about it for me. Not too many songs, considering the bands total output of material. Although, I wouldn't be surprised if some uber-fan sees this and reads me the "Riot Act" about a "true" fan loves every note the band plays. (Please spare me)

    Somehow, I feel like I just jinxed myself into hearing these songs on the upcoming tour. DAMN!
    God damn, are you my twin? Agree with everything EXCEPT 7 AND 8.

    can't keep - boring as hell. doesn't really go anywhere.

    thumbing my way - same as above (you aren't bob dylan ed. quit trying.)

    love boat captain - i NEVER want to hear this song again. in any form. ever.

    wishlist - i've made my feelings of this song known for quite some time. what a load of shit.

    leatherman - liked it the first time i heard it. but now i think it's another huge miss by ed.

    betterman - heard this tooooooo many times.

    come back - horrible music. just horrible.

    big wave - i HATE when people say "oh but it's such a FUN song". with a chorus that goes "got me a big wave got me a big wave got me a big wave" how can anyone think this is good? i wonder if the other guys in the band heard those lyrics and couldn't believe it.

    dirty frank - give me a fucking break. anyone that claims to really like this song is a fool. another lame excuse song "it's so funky and fun!!" please.

    i've gotten over my hatred of daughter, betterman (even though i list it), elderly woman and other songs that i hear all the time by not listening to them. ever. now i can stomach them again.

    army reserve is definitely one. Just to blatant of a point and the references to his daughter are too much

    1. 'Nothing as it seems' does 'nothing' for me and just 'seems' to go nowhere. It never really builds to anything.

    2. 'Evacuation' is just God-awful. How many times can you just say the same word with different inflections in ONE song? E-vac-U-ation! EVAC-u-Ation! evac-u-ATION! EVACUATION! Just go already!!!

    3. 'Don't gimme no lip'...seriously, don't!

    4. 'Dead man' is another song that just goes nowhere fast. although, I will say the version on 'Benaroya' is tolerable.

    bugs for me
