I'm trying to get the definitive list of Pearl Jam original songs and this turns out to be a fairly arduous tasks between trying to find all material not on the studio albums and excluding the material that doesn't really belong to them.

So I am going through the Holiday/Christmas/Whatever Singles and there are nine songs that:

a. Do not appear anywhere else (like Lost Dogs, etc)
b. Do not explicitly say "cover" or grant credit to someone else on the wiki page for PJ Discography

Can anyone tell me if ANY of these are NOT PJ originals...

Angel
Olympic Platinum
Happy When I'm Crying
Last Solider
Santa God
Santa Cruz
Turning Mist
Falling Down
Devil Doll

I know, I really should know this, it's just that I don't get around to evening listening so most of the singles very often, let alone know their history.

  • Pretty sure Devil Doll is a cover. I believe it was X. The others are PJ originals. I am writing this having not looked anything up though so if I'm wrong, sorry.

  • Angel - Original (Written by Dave A.)
    Olympic Platinum - Original - (written by a sound engineer Nick DiDia; spelling?)
    Happy When I'm Crying - Original
    Last Solider - Original (McCready)
    Santa God - Original
    Santa Cruz - Original
    Turning Mist - Original (McCready)
    Falling Down - Original
    Devil Doll - X Cover

    A note about Turning Mist that I've never brought up... Mike kind of sounds like Wayne Coyne from Flaming Lips.
