Confessions:There's a PJ song that I can't listen to

Milestone · July 2005

I could do without Wishlist. I fear that someday, it might end up on a Kmart commercial or something.

Can't stand 'Around the bend' and 'I Am Mine' I mainly hate i am mine cause i listened to it so many times when i first got Riot Act and i just got sick of it

Yeah i dont understand it either its one of my faves too.BRILLIANT song

I cannot stand "sleight of hand". A lot of Binaural I'm not overly fond of, but "Sleight of Hand" is just worse than the rest of them to me.

don't like "low light" or "oceans" very much.

I don't know why but I really like "aye davanita." I think it's got a cool groove to it that's not found in other pearl jam songs, especially on an album as dark and morbid as Vitalogy.

"stupid mop" is annoying but weird and strange enough for me to enjoy it.

"evacuation" is rather annoying for two reasons. one is because musically, it's just kind of retarded. the second is that lyrically, it seems not very deep ir personal.

"around the bend" gets on my nerves. I never liked lullabies.

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).

I understand distaste for evacuation. I don't like it too much either. but "do the evolution"? what's wrong with it to you?

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

No matter how many times I listen to versus, none of the songs on it get old to me. however, binaural got old after about a month for me. it's just kind of bland and passionless to me.

ten is the one I haven't listened to as much because I bought it last. sure, I heard all the hits on the radio and stuff, but I hadn't heard about half of the album before I got it.

evacuation is awful and no doubt there worst song in my eyes

loveboatcaptain_blak · July 2005

ok ppl need to step saying songs like "red dot" and "foxy mop".

these are not songs that you are supposed to WANT to listen when they come up in a rotation. they're called "fillers". if any has foxy mop as one of the songs they listen to the most(or pry to), then there is something seriously wrong with you. i think foxy mop is a COOL song, but i havent listened to it in months and months. these are not songs that are ment to be your favorites so please stop talking about how you "skip them" or "cant listen to them".

to me....who you are is the only song pearl jam has ever done that is just bad. its not like " omg that sucks so bad" bad. just plain bad.

Squidge · July 2005

I can't listen to Black or Go.......c'mon i'm fucking with you. I looove those songs. I love NAIS as well. Must be missing something.

I'm not feeling Sweet Lew, Whale Song, Evacuation...the usual really, if this thread is anything to go by. The thing is if i don't get a PJ song, i don't blame them.....i blame my stoopid-ass self for not getting it. If the people who wrote Black, alive, Insignificance etc write a tune, there MUST be something about it. They don't just make a fuck up and slap it on a record. I mean, Dirty Frank......wicked track.....it didn't even make TEN. Most bands would fuckin love to make a track like that. If i don't like a song, i listen to it until i do, if is till don't....i cry silently or something similar.

Hah, maybe got a bit carried away, but does anyone know what i mean?

Cyclefly · July 2005

I like Nothing As It Seems. I Have no problem with that one at all.

The songs I skip are:

All Night (gives me nothing)
Sweet Lew (absolutely horrible)
Stupied Mop (I've only heard it once and I'm not gonna listen again. When I think of it now it gives me creepy pictures, dead people rottening and stuff like that..)

Im with you for that song...listened to it once and haven't gone back it creeped me the fuck out....disturbing....very dark.

I started this thread a while ago and I though it had died but it's back.. SWEET!!!! Um for those who missinterpret stuff NAIS is an awsome song .....I just can't listen to it...and right now I'm listening to Low Light (which was on my shit list for a while but right now it sounds amazing!!!!!!!) My shit list changes everyday with songs I'm in to at the moment and the ones I'm not....it has a lot to do with the show that I listen to and the different versions....Mike or Ed can do something different in a song that i haven't been into for a while and just completely blow my mind and then I love it all over again...it's like a new song!!

Dirty Frank wasn't out for the Ten record. It was recorded during the Ten era though.

Written/recorded (i believe) when they were on tour with the Funky Monks in 1992. Thats why its so-ah funkeh

(funky monks being RHCP if you don't know that alias

)

satans_bed · July 2005

what? people hate wishlist? that's my second favorite off of yield!

I don't like a lot of stuff on binaural though. I liked it a lot at first and then it wore off me. no code was the opposite. it wasn't too good to me at first and now I like every song on it.

Memoman · July 2005

I have to admit that almost all of the time I skip 'Black' and 'Thumbing My Way'.

'Thumbing My Way' has some great lines in it, but I just don't feel it that close.
And 'Black' seems too teeny and whiny to me, as most of Ten does.

I'm one of those rare individuals that actually prefers the post-NoCode era.

Same here, sometimes I think I'm the only one who thinks the first 3 albums are the weakest creatively.
