Best PJ Song All-Time (1 Viewer)

I was talking with a good buddy about about PJ and what their best song is all time.  I told my GB that Society is the best and that there is not really a close second, but he is claiming it is rvm.

I know there are a few PJ guys in here.  TF is with me on Society, right?

 
Society is actually an Eddie Vedder song, not a PJ one. But yeah, great song. Don't know if I can narrow it down. Could be Release.

 
I was going to say "Black" but it's already been taken by that damn otb_lifer. 

I'll go with the one that broke them. 

"Alive." 

Oh, we're not drafting? Whoa. Gotta get out of that mindset. 

Elderly Woman... and Daughter deserve a mention, too. I thought those were sweet/cool songs back when I was a sophomore in college.  

eta* But Alive is the choice. Them at their grungy rockin-est.

it's the epilogue to "For Emily" - the sad but true  progression (self-fulfilling prophecy?) of a few loves lost over these many years.

oh, and it still gives me a ####### shiver every time i hear it ...

 
So Ten was in 91, Vs 93 and Vitalogy 94.  That's just a crap ton of fantastic songs over a 3 year period.   Throw in 2 great songs from the Singles soundtrack.   

 
This is my favorite. It lasts about 3 hours (just think of it as one big song), and is the first and only (so far) time I've seen the guys live. Amazing show.

No love for Hail Hail eh? 

That song comes in hot and lyrically and musically keeps punching until the final note.

Too hard to pick one from this group: Black, Rearviewmirror, State of Love and Trust, Release

Glad to see they were all given their due by the time I saw this thread.  :headbang:

 
Have the guitar pick Ed played Rearview Mirror with in Memphis 94. 

A few years later I split with my GF of about 4 years (my sophmore year in college). Happened to have a radio show on WUTK 90FM at the time. Dedicated "Rearview Mirror" to her on air with the line "Saw things so much clearer, once you were in my rearview mirror". 

Phones lit up. I answered and she was screaming at me... I laughed and hung up. That was oddly cathartic... closure by Pearl Jam.

Also a staple on the '96-'98 bootlegs that has pretty much disappeared from their sets lately. Nice tune, but might not even be top 5 on the No Code album.

 
Indifference probably the most underrated 

Also I love singing along to Yellow Ledbetter 

They're pretty overrated as far as bands go though.   Everything after Vitology sucks

Oh totally. Actually I wasn't even sure they did anything after Vitalogy, I had to Google it just now. 

 
Love some of those mentioned. RVM, release and porch in particular. 

Animal is great too.
