As great as Pearl Jam are, I'm sure that everyone has a few tracks that they think are pretty awful. I've given each in turn it's fair chance but they just don't work for me. Thought it would be interesting to see different opinions. Anyway, here's mine:

Mankind
Gorified G
Hey Foxymop...
Leash
Indifference
Garden
It's gonna be a glorious day...

    Betterman and Daughter never liked either- especially Betterman and a few times at the concerts when the young men sing along I get the feeling they missed the message in that song and are glad she has to settle.
    Women must never settle- better to be alone than unhappy and
    you can't meet your soulmate if you've settled

    well to be fair, it's not only young men who sing along to Betterman. :) and I don't think they sing cause they're missing the message or are glad the woman in the song settles. I know why I sing along - for the joy of singing. :D I love hearing an arena full of people singing along to a song, no matter what the lyrics are.

    you say women must never settle. this is true. but the same applies to men. equality, eh? ;)

    Yes totally and I too love the sing alongs- I think that makes PJ unique and fun- I don't know maybe it was just the guys around me a few times or maybe my perception- it felt kind of creepy almost- especially the "3am look her over thing"- not a fave of mine-

    I never really skip anything with the live shows except the encore breaks. Even if I don't dig the song, I usually like to listen to the show as a whole. The one exception is Sleight of Hand, which they fortunately don't play often.

    As for studio songs, I usually skip:

    Jeremy
    Stupid Mop
    Habit
    I'm Open
    Pilate
    Red Dot
    MFC
    Nothing As It Seems
    Rival
    Sleight of Hand
    Thumbing My Way
    Arc
    Army Reserve
    Hitchhiker
    Gremmie Out Of Control
    Whale Song
    Dead Man Walking
    Strangest Tribe
    Sweet Lew
    Last Kiss

    Hmm, interesting to see everyone has different opinions on songs.

    Yeah, sorry if you don't agree on 'Mankind' - one man's meat is another's poison I suppose. ;)
