I'm sure I'll add to this as other people post, but my top 5 would definitely be


1-Off He Goes. See the SOTM for my thoughts on that one

2-No Way--great riff, terrible chorus and sub par lyrics ruin the song


3-In Hiding--a good, but not great riff, a sub par chorus, and some awkward verses bring down an incredible pre-chorus

4-of the girl--vaguely mysterious but never that compelling to me.

5-either hard to imagine or light years. Both of these are strong songs and I like them a lot more than the ones above, but some fans really swear by these two and they both have something that keeps them out of that really elite block of songs. Both are fantastic live though.

i can see where you are coming from but its a neat mellow story.

agreed

Quote:

the riff is pretty cool actually, other than that, agreed.

love the mystique, love the solo (all throughout) love the vocals. lyrics might be a bit lacking though.

i don't care for HTI much either, Light Years is kinda awkward but amazing at the same time. tremendous lyrics.

1/2 full -> Maybe is a good song but it sounds so "out of date" for PJ...

Marker in the sand -> Sth is wrong with this song, and it is not its lyrics...

Deep-> ...???

Help, Help -> The worst PJ song...ever

Get Right -> Never liked this one

I don't see where you are coming from at all with 2, 3, and 4.

I agree about Light Years and Daughter if it doesn't have a great tag.

There is absolutely nothing about this song that blows me away. It just seems like an average little pop rock number.

I Got Shit
In My Tree
Sleight of Hand

All of them are good songs, but they are no where near the top if my list. The fact that in my tree and i got shit were voted as the top two pj songs a couple of years ago, flat out blows my mind. I definitely think there is some snobbishness to liking those songs.

Nothing as it seems...FUCKING BORING. That song is just a downer and a show killer. It just drags on.

Also dont understand how Dissident is a greatest hit. It just doesnt fit in to anything i can fathom.
