Since we have a PJ sex songs thread (or the lack there of), what about psychedelic Pearl Jam songs? There are a few that sound very psychedelic to me (besides "Bugs", haha!) Are there any you consider psychedelic music? Do you like them? Would you like more, fewer of none?

    You Are. I love it and always like when they mix it up. I know Mcgruff will back me up. Hahaha

    Yes! Live "You Are" Whoo hoo! Thanks! Yes, that's a great favorite PJ psychedelic song.

    "In My Tree" also sounds rather psychedelic to me too.

    Another great one, definitely. I would be totally up for more of this kind of stuff from PJ. It's a tough form of rock to do well and not be too over the top or under the table. PJ does it right.

    lol lol. I love how you know my feelings on that song!

    I always thought the middle and end part of rvm could be a little psychedelic. (see touring band)

    what about help help?

    I see Bugs as more of a metaphor for reporters and stalkers. But it could just be about meth idk

    Jack Irons drums and style shines the most to me on this track... I would describe it as more tribal than anything... awesome track in my opinion

    First thing that came to my mind. It's a trance-like, really beautiful and fluid tune. My opinion of what comes the closest to psychadelic.

    Yes! Very much so, especially combined with that great video sequence in Touring Band. One of my favorites.

    Brian, the way you posed the question would you like more?, my thought was Severed Hand. While musically maybe not their most psychedelic, but lyrically it is.

    And you are right, Pearl Jam does it just right. :plus_one:

    To me, these songs are more atmospheric than psychedelic

    "Severed Hand" is such a great song! One of my favorites from the Pearl Jam LP.

    "Got some kicks, wanna take ride?"
    I said, "Yeah,..."
    "Take your pick, leave yourself behind."
    I said "Yeah,..."

    "It's okay, do you want some more?"
    I said, "Yeah,..."
    "You'll see dragons after 3 or 4..."
    I said, "Yeah,..."

    Yes, definitely psychedelic. image

    A lot of the old Daughter outros/tags can be trippy. I love the one from 2000 Seattle show I think it was. Pretty trippy

    Here it is https://youtu.be/qqPvReiZf04

    Of the earth

    To me this is the most psychedelic song they've written. Around the 2 minute mark is where the drugs kick in...

    I recently wondered to myself (while I was at a My Morning Jacket show) if Pearl Jam would push themselves further into this direction in the future.
