    Wow....I thought it had a double meaning of some sort....Like how spin the black circle is talking of 2 things at once. I remember an article a while back, where eddie was quoted on saying it was about an actor or someone rich or something??? My brain must be weird.

    The song still has no flavor for me....clean the pallet? or is that pallat?

    Stupid Mop, in my opinion, is a very unneccessary song. A bit like what The Beatles did on Sgt. Peppers. Glad it's at the end of the album.
    it kinda depends on how you look at it.. personally, I enjoy those random kinda filler songs. They really do amuse me.. and anyway a lot of bands have them. Gives a bit of perspective on the creative process,, perhaps another view than just the songs, imho.

    I'm open and Around the bend i NEVER listen to..


    Evacuation is irritating, and would suit lost dogs.... Bring on "in the moonlight"

    and help help, eddie sounds like he is dieing the whole song.

    nothing as it seems isn't a bad song at all. I heard it first on a Bridge School Benefit bootleg before binaural came out, and it was a better longer version, w/a much better Solo. I find myself not liking a few PJ songs, like Off He Goes, or Pilate, but i give them all a chance. I find myself even liking the goofy ones, like Hitchhiker. Some of them take an acquired taste, so don't feel bad

    I can honestly say that I like all of their songs apart from hey foxymophendlamama, that's me and Aye davanita. I like Last Kiss and Nothing As it seems alot, but that may be bacuase I don't listen to the Radio or watch Music TV channels or something so I havent heard it overplayed.
    I am not the kind of person who considers a "real" fan as someone who doesn't like the popular songs and listens to the less well known ones, so hating on NAIS and Last Kiss for that reason isn't fair

    Well, I just wanted to say this. I love all of Pearl Jam's music and they're definitely the greatest band ever. The only thing is I can only listen to them so much it seems. Because I'll keep listening to them until I'm all jammed out and then usually I listen to other types of music as well. Generally, I'm a music fan, and I love finding out new artists and listening to them, and giving everything a chance, so I'm always looking for new music. But for me, it seems that everything all goes back to Pearl Jam. I always find myself craving their material, and usually even when I'm listening to other artists, I'll find myself putting on a Pearl Jam song or going to read about them or what not. I just wanted to know if anyone else was like this, because I LOVE PEARL JAM, it's just that there's also other kinds of artists/music I dig.

    It's weird because despite Eddie's previously stated stand on the issue, the song sounds like it is against abortion... "escape is never the safest bet..." "when she couldn't hold, she folded..."

    I like NAIS, its a good song, but hey you like what you like I respect that. But I don't like Heyfoxhandlemama, that's me. I don't know I just couldn't get into Vitalogy. But a lot of people seem to like it...
    there's no wrong or right but I know there's good and bad...

    Yeah I'm like that, it's like I could listen to them all day but the music's so deep in my head it's like watching a movie you've seen a thousand times, thank god for all the band-sanctioned bootlegs! I could listen to concerts all day. No matter how far I stray from their music I always come back...

    There are a lot of songs on 'Vs' and 'Binaural' I just can't listen to. 'Ten' is getting that way, too. :(

    I simply cannot listen to Mankind! I hate that song so much, and radio stations have really killed Jeremy, Betterman, and Yellow Ledbetter for me. Although, Jeremy was never a song I really liked all that much to begin with.

    Evacuation=AWFUL

    skip it every single time I listen to Binaural.

    Not a huge fan of DTE either (I'm sure to hear about that one).
    Current Album rankings: Pearl Jam, No Code, Ten, Yield, Riot Act, Binaural, Vitalogy, VS, Lost Dogs.

    Ah, good to know there's others like that. Yeah, I'm currently into Nine Inch Nails and Alice in Chains!!!

    Whats wrong with all of you? Getting tired of a band is a bad sign. But not to worry I have a cure. Save your pennies and purchase a front row seat to an upcoming PJ show. That will cure ya!

    I suppose, in a way, being relatively new to Pearl Jam ( a few months) CAN have it's advantages then.
