Pearl Jam Top 100 songs

[richo's dodgy hammy]

Have always loved this band from the first time I heard the Ten closer Release. The band took on more meaning to me when my best mate tragically lost his life in a workplace accident. This band and listening to their music helped me through a very tough time. So I have had a crack at doing a Top 100. Added some Eddie Vedder solo songs as well. Only did the poll on the original version of the song not how good it sounds live. Hence I'm Open didn't make the list.

[richo's dodgy hammy]

Another great song: 4/20/02. Written as a tribute to Layne Staley.

Just read that this was a hidden track on Lost Dogs. Guess you learn something new every day. Great tribute and even better knowing I have a copy of it without realising it

 

[Corrosion]

That is a very good list. I have a clear number 1 in Black, but would struggle to do any type of list after that due to the quality of their catalogue.

 

[Oscarman]

Great to see Yellow Ledbetter in the top 10 (would be my number 1), also Nothingman and Off He Goes would be very high up for me, but Blood should be in there somewhere.

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

Black would be my number 1 too

 

[katana]

I could spend ages trying to do this and never be quite happy with it.

...same

 

[Xtreme]

Man of the hour and Jeremy would be in my top 5. Would be bloody hard making a full list though.

 

[joop]

Kudos for doing the list, it'd be almost impossible for me to do one as my favourites change on a weekly basis.
top 5 would probably be:

Black
Off He Goes
State of love and trust
Rearviewmirror
Indifference.

but then again Jeremy, or In my Tree, perhaps strangest tribe.....yeh i dunno theyre an unbelievable band.

 

[lincsPJ]

where is hard to imagine on these lists?

a list of 100 pearl jam songs without HTI is null and void.

 

[pjcrows]

I could do a legit Top 30. But 100? I couldn't do that. Most of it is gold but there's a chunk of rubbish too.

Good thread though!
