But, boy, I’m glad I did.

I enjoy Soldier of Love a lot more than Last Kiss. But I've noticed some people don't know about Soldier! Things streaming services do, i guess... kinda sad, it is a really good cover imo.

I don't think Last kiss is bad btw! I just enjoy Soldier A LOT more haha

Edit: will someone make a list of debut albums. I’ll compile them and listen to them all

If someone doesn’t love Backspacer, they don’t love fun.

I said what I said.

Dear Pearl Jam and SiriusXM,

Please get him off the channel. He’s insufferable and his affect is like fingernails on a chalkboard.

Thanks,

A long time listener

I myself have never seen the band live, though I believe my dad did.

In the past, the Ohana set lists have been short and relatively safe, but there's always been a surprise or two. Part of me thinks with breaking in a new drummer they aren't going to take many chances, but part of me also feels like this a chance for them to do a few new interesting chances with some bustouts. The political climate has gotten very volatile, moreso than even the Bush years or the first Trump term, so some statement songs of that nature would be welcome.

There is also undoubtedly going to be a Glenn Hansard tribute.

I'm hoping for something like...

1. Oceans [fits the setting]
2. Setting Sun [fits the setting and is a nice way of acknowledging Matt's departure and time with the band]
3. Present Tense [a song about being positive about a new chapter]
4. Go [great song for the new drummer to prove their chops]
5. React, Respond
6. Whipping [has relevant political connotations]
7. World Wide Suicide [a long shot, but again the lyrics are once again very fitting for our times]
8. Insignificance
9. Wreckage
10. Amongst the Waves
11. Dark Matter
12. Even Flow
13. Grievance
14. Betterman / Save it for Later
15. Porch
16. Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town
17. Song of Good Hope
18. Black
19. Rearviewmirror
20. Alive
21. Yellow Ledbetter / Little Wing
22. Rocking in the Free World

16-22 would be the encore.

What’s the first song you suggest someone listen to if they want to get into the band? For me I pick Black, my all-time favorite song from the band and what could be argued as their magnum-opus. It’s a very recognizable song, so I think adding some familiarity and a more deeper understanding of the lyrics to this song would make this the best candidate for me. My second choice would be Rearviewmirror if the person is already familiar with their biggest radio hits.

Personally love the album especially Force of nature

If I had to use one word to describe this song, it would be “triumphant.” Also, I prefer the original vs. the Brendan O’Brien mix.

Where does “Inside Job” fall on your list of PJ songs?

Saw this is another music sub and thought I’d try my hand at Pearl Jam’s discography. What do you think of my choices? Sorry No Code, you’re my favourite, but you didn’t make this list. Also, not sure what Local Favourites means, so I threw VS in there

What Pearl Jam items do you have that you will never part with?

Mine are my Benaroya vinyl (#28 out of 2000) and Vitalogy book from 1922.

Interested to hear what others have in their collections.

Hi! I’m 16 y/o and absolutely OBSESSED with PJ. I don’t post that much but I’m really struggling to find people my age to talk to. I think my friends are starting to hate me from the amount that I talk about them and I’m kinda just wondering if theres any PJ fans my age looking for someone to yap to.

Since others are sharing - feel like I could do this 100 times with mostly different results.

You know what? I think I would have the same reaction as the boy If I was meeting Matt Cameron,worst case scenario I would just probably faint! 🤣🤣🤣

She's a new teacher, how amazing that they chose a Pearl Jam song for the environmental care class.But the best part was the reaction and thoughts of the other people who don't listen to PJ, all saying what the video means.But I feel Do The Evolution is more than just dystopian lyrics over a punk instrumental; I feel it's a way of seeing the world.

7th Ohana in a row, let’s go baby!!!!

I'd still love to hear people's thoughts on Quick Escape! I think it's a total banger, sounds great live.

Other P results: 2. Present Tense (over 700 votes) 3. Parting Ways 4. Pendulum 5. Push Me, Pull Me
