    Any Vedder-penned love song that should have gone on a solo album rather than on a PJ album.  For example, Just Breathe.
    Which songs would you put on that list? 
    Just Breathe.  The End.  Sleeping By Myself.  Future Days.  Come Back.

    Future Days was it, but Something Special has taken the schmaltz level to 11. It is now the reigning champ, and I’m afraid it will be played at most upcoming shows. I don’t know if I’ll ever hear Future Days again, which makes it less threatening and a little more likable. I only consider songs on the 12 albums for this title.

    Here I was, thinking "they won't play Something Special more than once or twice....this is horrendous "
    Damn, hope you are wrong!
    Either way, I'm happy for live Pearl Jam
      Even when it includes Bee Girl, Yellow Moon, or Parachutes.  (And now, Something Awful)

    I found myself mentioning The End as a candidate earlier in this thread. I strongly disagree with my 2010 self. The End is a beautiful song.
    The End is forever linked to my old man dying, as he circled the drain of life I listened to The End many a time.  
    Still brings a tear to the eye,on occasion

    Can understand others disliking it.

    Let the records Play, Future Days, and Ole.  Not a PJ song, but if it was, The Haves would be #1 worst song.

    "Something Special" is so much more musically rich and interesting than "Future Days." And I don't hate "Future Days."
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    Sleeping by Myself. Is it the worse song!? Maybe? Maybe not, but why they thought it was a good decision to record it for a PJ album? I’m perplexed! And it doesn’t really sound that great!

    I loved the original version on Ukulele Songs, but I agree it didn't translate as well as I'd hoped with the full band.

    Can't forget about Buckle Up.... I try to, what an awful song that is

    The worst songs IMO:

    The Fixer
    Just Breathe (ruined at Wrigley '16 when that dude and his fiancé were making out to it on stage)
    Sirens
    Buckle Up
    Something Special
    and Last Kiss (although that is a cover...)

    Fixer
    Bushleaguer (made sense 22 years ago, but given that they now seem to have decided to be a-political, it makes it irrelevant)
    Ole
    Can’t Deny Me
    Sleeping By Myself (almost musically criminal that it found its way on the album)

    Just Breathe and Sirens aren’t bad. Just subsequently tarnished

    You Are, My Father’s Son and Force of Nature are underrated.

    I don't think that's the case, but yeah it'd be incredibly awkward for them to play that song nowadays given that guy is passing his days painting or whatever.

    I also love the music for Bushleaguer.  Wish they would revamp and play.
