If you could eliminate one Pearl Jam song from their catalogue, which would it be and why
I would probably pick Off He Goes. Not only is it the most self-indulgent waste of six minutes on their album, but it almost single handedly kills No Code for me. It would never be my favorite record but it is building up a decent head of steam until Off He Goes and then the momentum is just totally shot. It start to build it up again until the last three songs but I could always just cut the record off at Present Tense (like I do with Vitalogy and Immortality). But Off He Goes is like hitting a brick wall.

How about all of Vitalogy? Or even just Bugs. After the highs of Ten and Vs, we got Vitalogy. What a disappointment

Thumbing My Way, for pretty much exactly the same reason.

I don't know what it is about this song but I just don't like it, it grates on me when I hear it, I always skip it when its on my mp3 player or iTunes. I don't think I've ever listened to it all the way through

Why do I feel like I've just taken a big stick and hit a wasps nest

I don't even know where my Vitalogy CD is. I haven't listened to it in at least six years, and probably a few before that
