We now have champions for:
Ten (Release)
Vs (Rearviewmirror)
Vitalogy (Corduroy)
No Code (Present Tense)
Yield (Given To Fly)
Binaural (Light Years)
Riot Act (I Am Mine)
Pearl Jam (Inside Job)

We will now play to determine the GREATEST song on the album Backspacer.

For anyone new to the game:
You are going to pick the song that you think is the "Weakest Link" after 2 days I remove the three (3) songs with the most votes.
We will then move on to Round 2. - Remember you are voting to eliminate songs from contention.

Note - Since Pearl Jam albums generally have more than 10 songs (which is all I can put in a poll), if you want to vote for:

11. The End; Just don't vote and put The End in your comments.

Again REMEMBER... 3 songs will be eliminated in the first round.

Round 1 Poll will end Monday 5/15/17 (Friday) at 2:40pm cst

    I went with the Fixer, which is one of the worst songs PJ has recorded IMO.

    Really like this song and album, but it's the weakest. Fun song. Might be the only song eliminated ;)
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Johnny Guitar, 72% of votes at the time of writing! Awful song.

    I definitely don't like Johnny Guitar but there are a few ahead of it for me.  Unfortunately I had quite a few selections I could have made this round  :s

    Two songs I like from this album are Unthought Known and Amongst the Waves, and that may be it. Hopefully the´ll get to the final round.

    Absolutely agree that it s a terrible lyric but overall it s a killer song live.  No way it s the weakest link on the album as per your vote.

    I'll give you that. For me, it's very formulaic of Ed lately. Palm muted intro, big attempt at an anthemic chorus, and some iffy lyrics. Lightning Bolt (the song) is very similar. I believe they even share a chord pattern in the verses. This pattern started with Love Boat Captain and it just feels predictable.
