I like "Arms Aloft", I think that even though it's a fairly straightforward rendition they inject a very modern-Pearl Jam muscularity that's absent in the original. I also happen to think it's a really good song.

I like it when its just Pearl Jam but throw Corin Tucker in there and I'd gladly lop my own ears off.

Not sure if this counts or not but this is one of my favorite performances of all time. I think its just so solid.

Anytime PJ have done it sicne (sans neil) it has been an absolute train wreck. But Neil just takes this song and drives it. I love it. If not one of my favorite performances then definitely the best performance I have been able to witness firsthand.

I've always been partial to their version of Masters of War. So, I'd probably vote for that one. But Arms Aloft and RITFW are also pretty outstanding.

By the way. The original list isn't my order of favorites, its just an alphabetical list of options.

I think some of their best covers are tags on songs.....Modern Girl, No Woman No Cry, Save it For Later, ect.

Full song cover is hard to pick but Fuckin Up is one I always thought was awesome

Let My Love Open The Door is pretty rad. That was my favorite for a very long time.
