It is quite strange that songs besides Black and Alive have votes.

El; Diablo is a master of the obvious. It is indeed very strange.

Best PJ song of all time, however, is "Elderly Woman Behind The Counter in a Small Town." I think it is the most played song on my IPOD by far.

It seems like "Black" is the two + two song always brought up when pearl jam is mentioned but Porch dammit Porch!!!!!

Off the top of my head I say "Porch", but I need to listen again. I consistently underrate the last three songs.

Alive

you know,

if you had included Yellow Ledbetter (b-side to the Jeremy single) it'd have swept the poll.

in terms of pure songwriting, I don't think Pearl Jam ever topped what they did on "Ten"....however, in terms of complete band sound, their best stuff to me is the late "Ten"-era material with Abbruzzese on drums (the actual studio album "Ten" has Krusen on drums and the vibe is just not the same) - which is why all in all my favorite Pearl Jam song is "State of Love and Trust" from the Singles soundtrack......

but to answer the OP's question, I think that "Alive" is the best song (purely as a song) Pearl Jam ever wrote.....

btw, (even though something fully electric as opposed to acoustic might be slightly more representative), the MTV Unplugged they did around that time is a pretty good representation of this.....that performance really kicks ass....
