    Two of the best in my book.

    Unthought Known - now THAT'S one of the worst...

    2 of the best? im curious now.. what other gems would be in your top 20?
    Heh, Evacuation and Cropduster might well make an appearance.[/quote]


    Johnny guitar would have to be right up there! Top 5 for sure.
    Yeh I've seen Pearl Jam, too. But I can't remember the dates.

    Love this song as well. I've seen dislike for songs on this board before, but I never got this one (I really don't get any of them, but a little moreso with Ghost). What a great song.

    Skip button? Really? :?


    +1 I love this song too and am surprised there seems to be so many people here who are anti. think it's time for some riot act on repeat

    It occurs to me that some people may be confusing "I personally don't care for this song" with "worst song". I didn't personally care for "Spin the Black Circle" when I first heard it because I miss-heard the lyric and thought it was negative in a way I didn't care for but I never referred to it as a "worst" or "bad" song. Once I heard the song right I really got in to it and still love that song. I'm analog, so how could I not? 8-)

    It seems odd to me that some people exert the energy to dismiss a particular Pearl Jam song-- or any Pearl Jam song. Just seems very un-PJ fan-like. But that's just me. I've heard how vicious it can get here on The Porch and I always figure its all PJ music and it's all good. That's why I spend more time on the Moving Train- more peace and harmony there! ...and I have if bridge for sale if you're looking for one! :lol:

    Brian - I like that you're always the peace maker. But, I don't know how you confuse - how fast I can hit the skip button.

    See you on the special Seder/Good Friday edition of the Lounge later! :D
    Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.

    Pearl Jam's music never ceases to amaze me. I love the way you can listen to their stuff for a long time and still find something new. Very cool.
    +1 This is so true!

    Ghost is a great song. Love Riot Act! I really enjoyed your insight of the song. :thumbup:

    Bring it on, cuz I'm no victim.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    I don't understand why you dislike "Ghost." That has to be one of Riot Act's best songs.
