    Yeah, I'd agree, as well as Black, Off He Goes, 4/20/02, RvM and Better Man because we know what they mean to Ed. Has everyone read that Cameron Crowe article about the run-up to the release of Vs. and how Ed asked some hikers to STOP singing Black because it sent him insane? Crazy stuff, but fame in America is probably exactly that...

    I've forgotton what board (1 in 3 chance it's this one) I read it on, but sometime this millennium someone said that PJ would stop doing black for that reason. Didn't realise it was in the run up to vs being released.

    Btw; Black, after sometime it was released, it was chosen by the American Critics Association, as the most beautiful song of in history, together with "Imagine", by John Lennon.

    I think you are all forgeting about alone! Also what is I am still here?
    Yellow Ledbetter is my least favorite song. Because as soon as you hear the first note you know it is time to say goodbye.

    I said before that I think RVM is really emotional to Ed.... But the song that hits ME the most, is Down..That song has so much meaning to me.

    i think there are too many emotional songs to name, but the most emotional to me is i'm still here (in the top slot for obvious reasons) and don't be shy, and sometimes angel.

    Doesn't Eddie put his all into EVERY song he sings, but certainly not in a Michael Bolton sort of way...that's not real. What Eddie sings is real raw emotion, which is why it touches so many...

    For the song Binaural, I guess you're supposed to put in your Binaural CD upside down in a sony CD player and go to track 32. So I've heard, I've yet to try it.

    I was just thinking about my poetry and the easiest poems to read, the clearest voice, the ones where my voice, on paper and spoken, is the strongest are the ones where I was most emotional writing them. So, if other artists are at their strongest when something is most emotional to them, then the most emotional song I think Eddie Vedder has written is Rearview Mirror.

    BLACK without doubt! It has enough emotional resonance to tear you apart even if u haven't really experienced something as painful as talked about in the song. I mean, I'm quite a happy sorta guy (at least I used to be) and this song just tore me up even then! Now, things have kinda changed and I can identify more with this song than ever before. It's just the most perfect 'wallow in your own sorrow' song that has ever been made. I might raise a few eyebrows here, but I truly think that "Black" is the greatest song of all time, period! I mean, music doesn't get any more emotionally devastating or any better than "Black".
    Another song that is right up there is "Nothingman". The part where Eddie sings: "...into the sun, into the sun, burn burn..." is flat out phenomenal!
    And of course "Immortality" is another great dark ballad, always hits me hard. Other than Eddie's emotive singing, I love the way Mike McCready's guitar sounds as if it's gently weeping throughout the song. Really heart-wrenching.

    black or betterman
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    And I won't make the same mistakes
    (Because I know)
    Because I know how much time that wastes
    (And function)
    Function is the key

    I'd say Ed's "Mini Opera", consisting of "Alive", "Once", and "Footsteps" is pretty emotional, "Black" also, of course

    I'd say that most emotional songs wrote ever are Immortality, Footsteps and Nothing As It Seems. That's how I fell.
