    foxymophandlemama
    mankind
    aye davanita
    pry, to
    help help
    Stab it down, fill the pages, suck my fuckin' life out, man

    Oceans.

    And lately I've fallen out of love with Insignificance and Better Man live. Studio versions are fine; just don't like hearing them on bootlegs anymore!

    Jeremy.

    It was so overplayed on radio and ruined me forever.
    Love is all good people need
    and music sets the sick ones free

    Wow. I just found this thread and it made me sad in my soul. I saw a lot of Stupid Mop on there which doesn't surprise me but some of the others I find staggering. There are songs listed on these 11 pages that I figured were the reason people WERE Pearl Jam fans.

    90% of the people I know who "don't like" Pearl Jam don't like them because they hear songs like Alive, Jeremy, Even Flow, etc. on the radio and assume that those are the only sort of songs that Pearl Jam has. To those people, I play songs like In Hiding, Sleight of Hand, Off He Goes, Nothing As It Seems and say these are the songs that make Pearl Jam - the stuff you never hear on the radio. The stuff the true fans listen to. Don't get me wrong, I still love Alive, et al: Ten is my all-time favourite album and I wouldn't be a fan of this group if it weren't for Jeremy but there are certainly better songs than these that I listen to on a more regular basis. To say I skip anything (with the possible exception of Stupid Mop - and there are even days that I'll give that a go) is almost like slapping Eddie in the face. I just can't do it.

    Me too. It took me a few listens to get into it but the more I listen to it, the more I love it. The lyrics are brilliant but my favourite part of it is McCready's distortion/wah-wah peddle during the chorus. It just adds so much to the song!

    Oh I know! The guitar in that song is really exceptional. A great example of how to use your effects effectively.
