Unfair question, so I'll list favorite from each full-length album.

Release
Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town
Immortality
Red Mosquito
Given to Fly
Insignificance
Arc (not really a song)
Inside Job

Off their singles/B-Sides, Footsteps, Yellow Ledbetter & Man of the Hour: can't pick just one.

Sorry, Pearl Jam nut here.

Including both originals and covers:

Crown of Thorns
State of Love and Trust
Present Tense
Elderly Woman
Long Road
Crazy Mary
Loveboat Captain
Porch
Glorified G

Sheesh...too big of a PJ fan to really list favorites because I love them all for different reasons but the above are probably atop my list or my favorites for them to play at a concert.

Not a big Pearl Jam fan, but I do enjoy most of their songs. Except anything on their new album. That's garbage.

nope, it's decent.


I'm a HUGE PJ fan and I'll admit that I didn't care for the new album at first. To be honest, I bought it the day it was released and just in the last couple weeks really started to like it. Some PJ albums just have to grow on you. Riot Act was the same way for me and now it's probably in my top 3 from them.

Yellowledbetter is the best song they've ever done. Probably the best to have come out of any band from the "grunge" era bands.

The first two albums, plus Yellow Ledbetter.
I think I could probably put together one decent album from everything they've put out since then. Maybe.

My favorite by far is 'I Got Id (sh!t)' but second is definetly 'Black'

In fact the first album is like one long song to me and their best work by far.

I recently picked up Ten and Vs again. I would also have to pick Black, but with there are so many good songs to choose from. I haven't listened to anything past Vs, but have been meaning to give the others a listen.
