    leash. it genuinely made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up and that only normally happens with ballads. it floored me. the drop the leash , we are young part is awesome

    Rearview Mirror is my favorite song off of VS. I can relate to the song in such a personal way. It's so emotional.

    "I couldn't breath, holding me down, fist on my plate, swallowed it down, emnity gauged, united by fear, tried to endure what I could not fulfill."

    Hence my log in name

    i gotta say indifference does a lot for me, very mysterious song... lots of love

    and to RVM... the line is pissed on my plate, swallowed it down... i dont mean to be a jerk, its just one of the most intense line of hte whole record and puts Eddies feelings into perspective.

    Indifference is definitely my favorite from vs.

    The lyrics are so powerful... When I was in high school I used to always right the lyrics out on the chalk board in the music room!! :)

    I would have to say this is my favorite PJ cd and indifference is the best song on it, but they are all great every single one of them.

    I'd say either Dissident or Indifference.
    the latter being so emotional and powerful, I can't get enough

    Vs. is great, I bought it when it first came out and played it endlessly. A lot of the songs on this album are full of anguish, but I love it just the same. Favorites? Daughter would be #1 choice for me. RVM a close second.... wounds in the mirror wave......I gather speed from you fucking with me....
    Great lyrics and the guitar on this album really rips!

    very hard to say...go and animal start the album off kicking ass..daughter brings it down a little , good though...shit, every song is good..i think dave A. deserves a lot of credit for that album...the drums kick ass, fast and on...i love the beginning riff of glorified g...blood is a good tune, the end get crazy ..but a good message...leash is a great ideal pj song..."get out of my fucing face"....indifference is great at the end..a lot of motivation ther and in the whole album..good song placement in terms of track number and squence

    Indifference... because Vedder sang it so well on the album..very emotional and moving song ...and the message is very important

    RVM is my second favourite..

    I know it may be extremely cliche but I absolutily love ...Small Town. I think it's the song that first got me into pearl jam. My parents already had ten and when I was at the beach I went out to a record and tape traders and bought Vs used for about 6 bucks. I didn't know then what I would be getting into!

    Jesus- how can i decide? Leash has sooooo much raw power- (ie. the first line- "Troubled souls unite, we got ourselves tonight). Blood- the band just goes nuts with some funky guitar lines. Daughter- like most pearl jam songs, well thought out and balenced song that represents what the pearl jam sound is like. I could see why people would choose "Dissident" but, i think Blood has the coolest sound. I've listened to VS so many times and its tough to decide. But i really like it. Sounds very very raw and Eddie goes nuts.

    by the way, in order from most favored to less so: 1.Ten 2.VS. 3.Yield 4.Vitalogy 5.Lost Dogs 6.No code 7.Binaural

    Indifference

    One of my favorite Pearl Jam songs. So much emotion. I hope the new record has songs filled with emotion like this one.

    Album order: No Code, Ten, Yield, VS, Vitology, Binaural, Riot Act
