As evidenced by their being named a 2017 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Pearl Jam has developed a loyal following across the globe with over 60 million albums sold worldwide. So, of course chart-topping hits like Jeremy, Daughter and Last Kiss are well-known among even the most casual of fans. Only the most devoted, however, know the Pearl Jam songs we’ve compiled below.

Take the poll and let us know your favorite five lesser known songs from Pearl Jam. Also, be sure to tune into Pearl Jam Radio (Ch. 22) for classic hits, performances and deep cuts from Pearl Jam 24/7!

    omfg, toughest vote in a while.
    H2I
    Red Mosquito
    In Hiding
    Present Tense
    SOLAT

    No way I could leave SOLAT, H2I, nor Present Tense off the list. Really debated on the other 2 and they could have been filled by nearly any other song on that list. (Looking above....Of The Earth and Breath were very close.)

    4/5 are top vote getters, interesting that many others agree.
    Red Mosquito is the outside pick.

    Holy crap! That was brutal. I could have chosen just about every one of those tunes. As it turns out I chose across the spectrum of votes from top (Present Tense - #2) to bottom (Get Right - dead f'n last). Some of those songs are my absolute most favorite PJ tunes.

    Favorite lesser known songs? We know them all. It would be easier to name the very few I don't care for but still embrace out of unconditional love.

    Would love to see them perform a so-called "deep cut" at the RRHOF induction ceremonies, now that I think about it.

    Hard to leave off Breath and In Hiding. Not sure if SoLaT should even be on there. Surprised In My Tree wasn't on there.

    This was really easy for me for some reason though I love every song on this list. These 5 just stand way above the rest imo.

    Why shouldn't SOLAT be on there?

    Because it's kind of popular, no? It's in the top 20 most ever played songs. Oh, you thought I was saying it shouldn't be loved. Heavens no. It's a PJ classic.

    Okay, now we're aligned! IMO, SOLAT is one of the greatest live songs a human being can witness being played
