You call yourselves Pearl Jam fans? Good thing I renewed or else this would have ended right here! (Is the lack of votes because everybody’s accounts are expiring?) Eddie Vedder’s “Black” vs Jeff Ament’s “Jeremy” (wow, tracks 5 & 6 on PJ’s first album!) Stone Gossard’s “State of Love & Trust” vs Mike McCready’s “Given to Fly” (the only post-grunge era song left) Don’t forget to vote before your accounts expire…i have a feeling this is gonna be one tight race! ---

Well see we’ve weeded out all of the “new” stuff and the original stuff will end up triumphant!!! I’m going to vote for **Black** and **State of Love & Trust** How long do I have until the next vote? It’s going to take a little while to ponder which of THOSE I would choose for #1!!! ---

I wanted to keep this running until the tie on State & Given was broken, but it’s been 24 hours without a vote so I’m calling it. As amazed as I am that State of Love & Trust made it this far (it’s a good song, but I wouldn’t call it Final Four material), I’m gonna have to do my VP duty and give it to Given To Fly, it being a #1 seed and one of my top 5 fav Pearl Jam songs. I’m sure that Moofyness, were she around this weekend, would have broken the tie that way too. **Black** (4) over Jeremy (2) \*\*Given To Fly \*\*(3) over State of Love & Trust (3) by fusoya’s call. ---
