Toss up between Smile and this one. Was one of the top songs when the album came out, but Who You Are has gotten a little boring for me over the years so I had to go with that. Still like it, just a little too simple to make it to the next round.
We could also (re)start the debate whether or not it was a good choice to be a lead single...
Almost as good as their decision for NAIS as the first single a few years later. What do you mean good for the survival of the band?
They needed to lose some fans to survive. Vitalogy was the band at the height of their popularity. It was such a stressful time that jeff left the no code recording sessions. Leading with who you are turned off a heck of a lot of people but saved the band.
They deliberately sabotaged themselves (edit: from being part of the mainstream).
This is tough. There are a couple that I don't care for the studio versions so much but love the live versions and vice versa. Also, does anyone else think of "Sometimes" and "Hail,Hail" on the same level of Queen's We will Rock You/ We Are The Champions or Led Zeppelin's Heartbreaker/ Living Loving Maid? I love the way they go together!

Great comparison! Maybe someday rock radio will recognize that combo. I never thought of it that way. It's really weird when radio doesn't play those referenced classics from Queen and Zeppelin as a combo.
easy one..in my tree for the win at the final with present tense!
"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”

It will be tough, I like them equally, but I think Present Tense is a better song. I think 7-9 out 10 non-PJ fans would choose Present Tense, but I could be wrong. I think that we are not always the best judges of their music, we tend to dig in Deep on the most Pearl Jam-ish songs... the unique, obscure, experimental, etc
