I’m not gonna make it easy for you, you animals. Here’s 35 Pearl Jam tunes, all from before “Backspacer.” What’s the best? Pick a few songs if you want.
Better Man.
Had to go with Yellow Ledbetter. Honourable mention to most of the list 
Black. 2nd best is Daughter.
Another vote for Black. It’s near the top of my list of favorite songs from anyone.
I like Just Breathe, which was not listed it seems.
Crazy Mary.
I voted Jeremy, but it was a really tough choice between that and several others.
Pearl Jam is a one-hit wonder: Evenflo, only song worth listening to.
Yellow Ledbetter, even though I still don’t know what it is about.
You’re kidding right? :dubious:
Black, for sure.
Pearl Jam is like the U2 of the 90s (and the Stones of the 60s) – a radio-prolific band whose songs I generally don’t like, but had so many of them that there are certain songs I do like, but not enough to purchase. In addition to the aforementioned Crazy Mary, I wouldn’t want to change the channel if I heard Black. Alive is questionable, it’s one of the few songs that are I like to play on Rock Band but not actually listen to.
Once
Black, easily. First runner-up Jeremy. Second runner-up Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town.
My favourite is Big wave. Love that song.
Tough choice. I picked a few, but my #1 would be “Black.” “Corduroy” is second, with “Yellow Ledbetter” (whoops, forgot to vote for that one), “Daughter”, “State of Love and Trust” and “Elderly Woman…” following close behind.
This is a bizarre statement. I’m actually not really a fan of Pearl Jam, but they wrote a number of solid middle-of-the-road rock anthems. Even Flow (not “Evenflo”) is one of the better ones, but it’s not even in the top three off Ten, in my opinion. And they had far bigger hits than that one. Even Flow didn’t even hit the Top 40 charts. Their biggest hit is actually “Last Kiss” (peaking at #2–a song I despise.) “Jeremy,” “Daughter,” “Tremor Christ,” “Betterman,” (and probably a few others) all fared better than “Even Flow” on the charts.
Regardless, they are hardly a one-hit wonder, and definitely not based on the success of “Even Flow.”
I already did this one a couple years ago, and Given to Fly was crowned.
Given the choices there, I picked In Hiding…but that’s because you idiot, you forgot Marker in the Sand! And even more idiotic, you DIDN’T forget Last Kiss!!!
Glad this was a multiple option poll. The only option not available that I might have clicked on was Wishlist…
Not being exactly the biggest Pearl Jam fan in the world, I went with the usual suspects (“Betterman”, “Black”, “Yellow Ledbetter”, “Alive”, “Even Flow”… but not “Jeremy”, since that’s the song of theirs I’m most sick of hearing), and the only songs that I feel are missing are the aforementioned “Once”, and “Porch”.
