    Like Even Flow, I think Corduroy is an overplayed song. It seems every boot I put in, its track 3 like clockwork and usually skip it. BUT, when its played live and I'm there, IT FUCKEN ROCKS.

    I don't think they should retire any song, but I admit to skipping Corduroy almost every time I am listening to a boot.

    Maybe just change its location because you are right, it is almost always in the top 3 tracks.

    There is not a better song in the PJ catalog for getting the crowd worked up. Corduroy is a staple for good reason. It is impossible to not get swept up in it when you see it live. Kinda like GTF, it just creates this ebb and flow wave of energy that is infectious.

    i think corduroy is the most "pearl jam" pearl jam song.

    KEEP IT ROCKIN'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    My all-time favourite song to hear live. I would actually be really disappointed if I was at a show and they DIDN'T play Corduroy. Luckily I'm 7-for-7.

    The song rocks live and should always be played. It was also the first song I ever saw Pearl Jam play live in person (Barrie '98) and I've been in love with the live versions since.....

    When I hear those first 4 or 5 notes come screaming off of Eddie's guitar . . . . . . CHILLS. Everytime.

    I'm gonna say Rearviewmirror is the quintessential Pearl Jam song, but Corduroy is a good contendor. Those are probably two songs that serve as a good litmus test whether someone is a PJ fan or not.

    I was over Even Flow for a while too, now I'm back in love with it.

    If I HAD to have one or these songs at a live show it would be Even Flow. :D

    That is the thing. Corduroy works so damn well live, it is all about the show and that is how it always should be.

    Corduroy is a top 5 pj live song in my book.
