Unusual Favorite Songs

I'm going to come right out and be honest with all of you that although my "first" favorite PJ song was Alive and therefore it will always hold a special place in my heart, ever since I heard it for the first time, Glorified G has become my favorite song. Not because of anything serious like the lyrics or message, but I just freakin' love the guitar riffs in that song.
I also really love No Way. I've noticed that neither of these songs get much love at all around these parts. Does anyone else have any favorites that seem to be generally unpopular? Or am I just a weirdo?

I guess it's just that on other threads about "dream setlists" or "songs you generally skip (if you skip any)" and such I've seen a lot of folks say that they skip Glorified G and I don't see it come up much on songs they wish they could see the band play. I've also seen a lot of comments from folks that they just can't get into No Way. So I felt like I was weird that those are two of my absolute favorites. :oops:

Yes! That is what I meant! A favorite song that while generally appreciated since it is, after all, a PJ song, is not generally listed among the favorites.

Hee! I had always just dismissed that track as not really a song, but just some fooling around. However, after listening to it for the first time in many years on the Philly boot and then listening to the recorded version several times, it's really growing on me too!

I love this song, but every time i listen to it something bad happens to me that day, so i haven't listened to it in 6 months and i've been on a pretty good roll. Sad, because i love it, but i don't need the stress.

btw, hello everyone! This is my first post
I love the anger and the raw energy. It makes me wanna rip something to shreds. I LOVE IT.
This is so great because for me... Undone ranks as one of my least favorites. This is what makes this thread so interesting and Pearl Jam so great. What one loves another hates.
I'm open
love the spoken word songs. very jim morrison ish

I hear that... I think I'm just not a fan of its political roots. I remember when it came out... Bush era... post 9/11...I always felt like the lyrics sorta mashed into each other... discussing corporations ruling the day, election day and then surfing terms "building before it breaks" Its definitely a pleasant song with a nice melody... just didn't strike a chord with me in comparison to many others. I do love how Ed makes comparisons to elements of nature...ususally waves, but this one wasn't a home run for me.
...driving along the ocean with the top down ----> for me... the song for this is... Parachutes, Elderly Woman, Rise, or Driftin. Possibly Out of My mind too. Glad you made me think about that.
Where do I find this track? On a Xmas single?
