    I wish I could scrape "Stupid Mop" off the CD, roll it up with my fingers, and wipe it onto the underside of the seat of my car.

    Of the songs that actually are songs, I like almost all of them. However if you force me to pick least favorites?

    Education
    Evacuation
    Sweet Lew
    U
    Don't gimme no lip
    Mankind

    For over 100 songs and I had to strain pretty hard to come up with 5-7 that I don't like much... That says a lot about how good Pearl Jam is in my opinion.
    Up here so high I start to shake, Up here so high the sky I scrape, I've no fear but for falling down, So look out below I am falling now, Falling down,...not staying down, Could’ve held me up, rather tear me down, Drown in the river

    My least fav, Whale Song

    Yes, but the thread is "worst pearl jam song" not "least favourite". There's no room for opinion here, and it's already been determined that it is an objective and unarguable fact that Sweet Lew is the worst.;)

    Whale Song is the 2nd worst.

    :D

    Whoever mentioned "Off He Goes" is currently being demoted to Creed fanship (I kid).

    Bill Simmons once called "Spin The Black Circle" the worst Pearl Jam song, and I have to agree - they don't do *really* fast songs all that well imo. "Circle" is definitely their most overrated track - how it won a Grammy still puzzles me. It's arguably the least essential single the band has ever released.

    Anything you lose from being honest
    You never really had to begin with.


    Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.

    1.  Bee Girl
    2.  Parachutes
    3.  Yellow Poon

    For the record, I really like FoxyMop and Bugs.

    Sweet Lew
    Tremor Christ (i know i know but the beginning base line of this song drives me crazy.  like nails on chalk board for me)

    Sirens and Sweet Lew for me, but I'll listen to those songs over a ton of other songs by other bands, so I guess that's why PJ is so awesome. They're more my very least favorite than worst.

    And although I hate the song, the idea of seeing Sweet Lew live sounds like a total blast!

    Just a Girl or Hitchhiker. They didnt make it onto albums, so even the band knows they suck.

    Worst song on an album that gets played at every show and I can’t even believe how anyone could enjoy this song: Mind Your Manners. Even the title of the song is horrendous.
    "I'll tell you what: If all I had was Pearl Jam, and I didn't have another band in the world, I would not be worried. Because in there is the essence of making great music. You don't have to use it all at once, but it's there." - Neil Young

    Hey, exactly the same for me.. Let me guess.. Do you like with a passion Binaural and Riot Act too? And love the moody, dark side of PJ? And think they should stop with the punk/garage attempts and experiment more? If so, we have the same mind
