Oh man I'm going to feel very cliched:
1. Yellow Ledbetter 2. Black 3. Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town 4. Dissident 5. Alive 6. Porch 7. Jeremy 8. Daughter 9. Even Flow 10. Better Man
I'm enough of a fan to have a top 10 but not enough of a fan to have any of them from their junk albums after 1996.
A buddy of mine and I were talking the other day about the Mt Rushmore of 90s Grunge/Alt bands. Nirvana is the George Wash, and I guess Pearl Jam is probably the Lincoln/Jefferson (whichever president you think more highly of). Who would be 3rd and 4th? His (wrong) opinion is that PJ is better than Nirvana and I've fought this battle for 14 years.
It would have to be Soundgarden and Alice In Chains, right?
Those were the two we came up with. Though there was a vote for Smashing Pumpkins.
They've always been kinda controversial since they're outta Chicago and not the Pacific Northwest. They sound like a grunge act with the distortion but they also play really long songs which is kinda the opposite of that ethos.

Possible things change as more ballots come in, but looks like we'll probably have our first runaway consensus top song (it currently has more than double the points of the second-place track)

Ok, I was gonna sit on this awhile longer and go thru it more but I think I'm content with my list now.
1. Release 2. Just Breathe 3. Alive 4. Jeremy 5. Black 6. Yellow Ledbetter 7. Last Kiss 8. Better Man 9. EvenFlow 10. The End HM: Daughter, Love Reign O'er Me, Pendulum, Amongst the Waves, Unthought Known
I see it's not getting much love in the voting early on but "Release" is not only my favorite Pearl Jam song but probably one of my top 5-10 songs of all time. So fking good. I also think PJ/Eddie Vedder has at least 4-5 cover songs that were either better or just as good as the original.

Release used to be one of my favorite set openers back in the early 90's. Great song.

Holy shit, they opened with that track?? Seems like it'd be more of a set closer or something.
