5. Not for You
4. Dissident
3. Alive - Overplayed? Maybe. But it doesn't matter.
2. Better Man
1. Yellow Ledbetter - One of the best songs in rock music, period. Timeless. Opening and closing riffs are brilliant as much as they are beautiful and captivating.

These lists are reminding me of all the kickass songs I forgot. I really need to rip the rest of my Pearl Jam cds to mp3 and put them on my Ipod. :D

And where the hell is NinjaScooter?

1. Immortality
2. Spin the Black Circle
3. Sleight of Hand
4. Given To Fly
5. Animal

They're my favorite band. Saw them in St Louis on the 'Vote for Change' tour last year. 3rd row! Fantastic stuff.

I love each and every song by PJ, so it's hard, but I'll try to narrow it down.

1. Breathe
2. Given To Fly
3. Thumbing My Way
4. In Hiding
5. Black

Fuck, too difficult. They're perfect IMO. ;-) Oh well, you could say those are the ones I enjoy listening to the most, during the last few weeks.

5. This song on one of my friends bootlegs where Eddie goes off talking about how much he hates someone and wants them to die.

I agree that this is too hard. I'm not going to throw up a list of "less-popular-oh-look-I'm-a-hardcore-PJ-fan" songs, because I love the popular ones. I might not like them as much as most people, but Last Kiss is an alright tune for a throw-away cover.

It's funny, I think I stopped listening to Ten the more I started getting into. Not to say that it's not a great album, but there's a ton of other great PJ stuff out there that people should really check out.

Other songs I love in some kind of chronological order I guess:

Porch
Evenflow
Jeremy
Once
Small Town
Go
Yellow Ledbetter
Daughter
Rearviewmirror
Animal
Nothingman
Curdoroy
Not For You
Whipping
Spin the Black Circle
I Got Id
Hail, Hail
Present Tense
Given to Fly
MFC
Breakerfall
Nothing as it Seems
Grievance
Save You
1/2 Full

I could throw a lot more in there and I probably forgot a bunch, but those are just ... highlights I guess.
