    Jeremy blew them to a new level, but best song to sum up the ERA, them? Evenflow. It showed they were not a typical rock band, not a Nirvana hack job. It let us know they offered something different. Alive is right there

    If you want GRUNGE then you have to go with Deep, Blood or Once, -----Not For You or Animal (SNL performances of these are as good as it gets)

    If you want Anthem, then Jeremy or Alive (Alive preferably)

    Evenflow got me into them, VS made them number two to Metallica, then Not For You SNL made them number one for good along with 3-10-94 and 7-11-95

    I'm surprised a poll hasn't developed from all of this.

    I would guess that if you picked random people off the street and asked them to name a Pearl Jam song, the two most popular responses would be "Alive" and some iteration of "I don't know any Pearl Jam songs."

    So, I'll go with Alive.

    There are a few ways to interpret this. I thought I'd see more "Black," which is the runaway favorite of this board.

    Amongst this board, "Black" is definitely the favorite and the one that everyone agrees on.

    Among the masses, Jeremy's the song that makes people think of PJ.

    But Alive makes sense, since it was "first" and it has the rock anthemy hook.

    You could also argue for Elderly Woman, the biggest "sing along song"

    Didnt really think about Better Man. Whenever someone learns that I'm a huge fan this is usually the song that comes up in conversation. Daughter too actually.

    I'm surprised more people haven't mentioned Elderly....... it's not as big as Alive, or Black, but it's definitely one of their more well known songs.
