    The guitars sound terrible live in Getaway and strangely they play it differently than the album.

    Future Days.   An Ed solo song, not a Pearl Jam song.   
    Yes, this song is awful for me. The Casio keyboards in it especially. It wouldn't be any better as an EV solo though, for me.

    How has "Whale Song" not been mentioned?

    I kind like Whale Song. I like the tone of Jack Iron's voice. And I like whales.

    I never understood why on live shows they don't play that guitar intro slightly palm-muted like on the record. That thing is so easy to play, and it would sound a lot better that way, but they manage to still fuck it up somehow, really strange indeed. And then maybe too much words to remember for Eddie.

    lack of rehearsal maybe?

    That seems like a borderline obsessive point of view.

    "i love every fucking song they have" is rumored to be the next song they have.

    I stumbled across this podcast from about a year ago...
    https://www.nationalreview.com/podcasts/political-beats/pearl-jam/
    ...and they (or at least one of them) was singing their praises of this song - and how the last three albums are better than Binaural and Riot Act.
    I think I've become a PJ snob and just can support these points of view.

    I've never been a fan of listening to Low Light, but it's really fun to play on acoustic. Same with Pilate and Porch. Asides from those, I can't say that there's any PJ songs that I particularly dislike. Just depends on what mood I'm in. The nice thing about this band is that their discography is so diverse that you can find pretty much any tune for any mood.

    That must be it. The "seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" at the end (for example, Edmonton 2011) really makes it.

    Lowlight became my favorite Pearl Jam song after Yield came out.  It and I Got Shit fight for the title for me.
