    love both- But got to go with Black. Maybe it's because in a weird way it's been a comfort during Breakups- in a weird way. Also just love the melody. The song that introduced me to PJ.

    Both songs mean so much to me. My dad bought me ten before he left my mum and myself. I put the cd in and played the last song first which happens to be release. Black just such an emotional song. Past relationships and all . Can't choose

    Release.

    That song has grown on me and meant more to me in the last 6 months that anything else.

    But I love both songs and they will always stand out as 2 of the best pieces of work this band has ever done.

    Black, still my all time favorite although Release is a close second. They are my 1/2 PJ songs.

    Black. No other song has ever evoked so many emotions as this one. From the first time I ever heard it years ago up to now, the song has the same effect on me. Its the reason I first became a Pearl Jam fan. Its the reason I'm here on a Sunday morning writing about it. :D

    both are average, I like other songs better, for instance, Oceans or Alive...
    ... I am not in the business of being liked anymore ...

    while far far away from the popular answer
    and while i love black
    from the first time i heard release it became and has stayed my favorite song
    i still get chills down my arms and have tears in my eyes to this very day
    fuck 'em if they can't take a joke

    Between these two, I would go with Release. Even though Black builds up to quite an emotional catharsis and definitely is a song I can relate to, Release speaks to me on a whole other level, a song that transcends. ..

    For me it's Release. It is my favourite song of all time, could listen to it anytime. Love the emotion and lyrics.

    In saying that, if I had never heard Release, then Black would be number 1.
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me
