I figured since everyone was listing multiple songs on that other thread, this might be easier:

Ten: Black (this is also what I play on roulette)
Vs.: rearviewmirror
Vitalogy: Immortality edges Corduroy
No Code: Present Tense, although it took me a long time to appreciate this track
Yield: In Hiding edges MFC
Binaural: Insignificance
Riot Act: You Are
Lost Dogs: Undone (why Leatherman is not on this disc, I do not understand)

I stopped at no code. Given to fly was a cool single, but i lost interest after no code. I should give the rest a listen.

Riot Act: Thumbing my way, just over I Am Mine
Lost Dogs:Leaving Here (ever since I got it on "Home Alive", I've been in love with this one)

i really don't like ten at all anymore. i just can't stand the mike mccreedy pentatonic wankfest '91. and whatever he doesn't mess up is just total cock rock out the ass. but...

ten: jeremy (purely for nostalgia)
vs: rearview mirror
vitalogy: corduory. but the album itself is so strong that i reall have a hard time picking just one.
binaural: insignifigance
riot act: love boat captain or 1/2 full

all the album i didn't list i haven't listened to enough to say.

it just sounds too cock rocky to me. it's about two steps away from van hagar.

You'd probably be able to get good tickets to PJ shows if Boom was your Pappy.

it just sounds too cock rocky to me. it's about two steps away from van hagar. Yes, Gossard wrote almost everything (even SOLAT and Alone and Ten-Era B-Sides musically before having the full band organized. Vedder wrote the lyrics, thus the Vedder-Gossard. However, the demos that Stone recorded are nearly identical to the album songs, thus I can't really blame McCready for any solos - although he plays them - any more than I could blame Krusen for a drum fill that Stone wrote.

That's what I was getting at.

Also, Pearl Jam's original rehearsal/demo studio in Seattle was called "Galleria Potatohead."
