    I have to say:
    Corduroy
    I Got Shit
    In My Tree
    Rearviewmirror
    Drifting
    Parting Ways
    All or None

    But honestly, I could make a case for damn near every song of their's.
    Can't Touch the Bottom:
    10-20-01/ 10-21-01/ 2-26-02/ 12-6-02/ 12-8-02/ 12-9-02/ 6-1-03/ 6-2-03/ 6-3-03/ 6-5-03/ 6-6-03/ 10-25-03/ 10-26-03/ 10-28-03/ 9-1-05/ 9-2-05/ 7-13-06/ 7-15-06/ 7-16-06/ 7-18-06/ 7-20-06/ 7-22-06/ 7-23-06

    i think the end of black or in drifting when he says "...my road it may be lonely just because it's not paved..."

    Given To Fly has to up there

    A wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw...delivered him wings 'HEY, look at me now'
    Arms wide open with the sea as his floor...He's FLYIN
    Wave came crashing...

    How good is he? how worn are his eyes, you'll see its not a reprise;
    that he arrives, too late and to tethered away to put on his and his tie.
    How good is he? how warm is his hard earned ego telling him which place to park. that he relays, the message is clearly, hardly grounds for dissmisal i write
    That would be "Fatal", not "dismissal".

    I think "Nothingman" has the best lyrics.

    Yes, anything from Pearl Jam is more than fine, is amazing , because the most part of the time (when the band wrotes something) is with their souls, their hearts. But they are human beings, so yes, somethings don´t please some peoples...

    kinda hard to answer that..

    Indifference
    Bugs
    Tremor Christ
    In my tree
    Given to fly
    Wishlist (definitely)
    Sleight of hand
    Parting ways
    Thumbing my way
    A whisper through a megaphone

    My favorite is Black but I will have to vote for Footsteps for some reason this line just cuts right through to my inner core..."i got scratches, all over my arms
    one for each day, since i fell apart"

    I guess it reminds me of one girl I met while working at a of home for abused girls...this one girl watched her father's girlfriend murder him and she became a "cutter" as a teenager. She had a lot of scars on her arms.

    Tough call. My personal favorite is Jeremy, though Alive is a good choice. It's like picking between Ben Roethlisberger, Peyton Manning, Michael Vick or Tom Brady in a "who would you have as your QB" discussion. It depends on the situation, and what you need at that given moment. (truncates message before I drift too far off topic).

    i think indifference coz it's simple yet has a big impact.
    do you know anyone who doesn't like indifference?
