Your favorite Pearl Jam B-side?

I'm going with Just A Girl because the first time I heard the lyrics along with the guitar riff and stinging solo; I thought to myself why isn't this on Ten? It seemed a good fit with all the other songs.
Then I thought, well the song Deep is kinda related, and maybe that's why it was a B-side.
Anyway, what's your favorite Pearl Jam B-side of all time?

  • dwhite76dwhite76 Posts: 2,801
    OUT OF MY MIND


    Does that count as a B side since it was a song they made up on stage and never did in the studio :?:



    Here are some of my honorable mentions

    1. Yellow Ledbetter
    2. Down
    3. U
    4. Alone ( Go Single Version)
    5. Sad
    6. Driftin
    7. Education
    8. Fuck Me In The Brain
    9. Angle
    10. Fatal
    11. Hard To Imagine
    12. Hold On
    13. Other Side
    14. Let Me Sleep
    15. Undone ******** Fucking Awesome song******
    16. Leatherman For some reason they have this written as a cover in the catalog section. Thats not true correct?
    Some words when spoken...Can't be taken back...

    Undone
    Just, not enough.
    I need more.
    Nothing seems to satisfy.
    I said, I dont want it.
    I just need it.
    To breathe, to feel, to know Im alive.

    I would say "Sad" or "I Got ID"
  • veddertownveddertown Scotland Posts: 5,260
    Yellow Ledbetter by a long way. The fact that the lyrics are so vague only adds to the mystique of the song and the title. I don't think it would have fit on Ten but I always thought Alone would have been a good addition to it, it's a really strong song. Undone is another favourite of mine.

    Very, very awesome song. I love the live versions from the Binaural tour. I don't know why that tour stands out so much but it had something different.

  • I feel like we may need to revisit the definition of "B - SIDE" in this thread.

    I see a good few posts with Lost Dogs tracks listed as a favorite B-Side.
    Most of those were just UNRELEASED tracks. Very few were actual album SINGLE B-SIDES.

    Not to be a dick, I'm just saying.
    (ie. OP lists "Just A Girl" = Previously Unreleased Demo, Not B-Side - Unless I'm An Ignornant Dick, which is possible)

    PS - I'm going with either Dirty Frank or Black Red Yellow. Prolly "Black Red Yellow"

    PPS - Songs That Are Questionably Listed As "B-Sides" In This Thread:
    Undone
    Down
    Just A Girl
    Sad
    Hard To Imagine (right?)

    Call me out for being a dick if i'm wrong, BUT LIST THE SINGLE THE SONG IS ON
    thanks

    Technically, you are correct. But it has become very common for people to refer to any unreleased music as B-Sides. It's kind of like when people say "I could care less", but we all know that they mean "I couldn't care less" :lol:.
