It is the quintessential Pearl Jam song. Everything. The guitar intro, lyric/subject matter, vocal style, punk rock elements.

My favs not mentioned previously
Wishlist
Indifference
Habit
Last Exit
MFC
Untitled
Long Road

Just Breathe
The End
Black
Chloe Dancer (Crown of Thorns) I know not theirs, but sort of since 3 band members were in Mother Love Bone. Heard it live in Dallas. My wife gave me a strange little look at the noise I made when it started.

Release
Breakerfall
Porch... Older version. Not what they do live anymore. Vedder spares his older voice now I guess.

Wash

Footsteps.

I'm here all day and can spout Pearl Jam.

In My Tree
Tremor Christ
Just Breathe
Not For You

The songs on Ten are just so overplayed in my mind, but I won't deny their greatness.

My PJ top 5

Red Mosquito
In Hiding
Black
Corduroy
Rearviewmirror


Looking at that list, and Vs. is under represented, which is odd as I think it's their best album. Dissident and Blood just miss the Top 5.

I'm a Vitalogy, No Code, Yield guy in that way of thinking.

You could make an argument for any of them from Ten through Yield.

Come Back.

Off the Avacado Album is a great song.

Life Wasted is a big one too. I don't like it, but many do.

Was anyone else at Lollapalooza '92 in NOLA? Ten was blowing up and Pearl Jam played, like, third on that day. Anyway, if you were there, you remember Eddie climbing all the way to the top of the scaffolding stage right (~100 ft), then climbing back down to about 15 ft. above the crowd. At that point he stopped, looked back at the crowd, let go and fell into the waiting arms of the crowd. I remember thinking how crazy that was, even though I was already completely shitfaced.

I saw that he used to do this during the Pearl Jam Twenty Documentary. That's fricking crazy. Really cool that you got to see it.

Not NOLA, but saw them at Lollapalooza in Atlanta that same year. He did pretty much the same thing there. Seems like they only played 4 or 5 songs, but it's been so long I can't really remember.
