I could name several DBT songs, but I don't think I'd survive the backlash
And I knew when I woke up Rock N Roll would be here forever

Gone, by Pearl Jam. Not their worst or only, but their first truly shitty song. It's been downhill since.

Their cover of Last Kiss is one of the worst atrocities ever unleashed on mankind

Just name whatever DBT song you don't like. Quit being a wimp.

I love that one. Honestly, may be that I am seriously biased but I can't think of any DBT songs I would call terrible except for maybe "Home field Advantage" and even that is OK musically and ftrs Will J.

Terrible/shitty wouldn't be good words for DBT songs. Definitely some that are sub-par IMO

Rodney, wha??? :shock:

That song is a guitar beast and has some of the most interesting and thoughtful lyrics I've ever heard in a song about war.

And Primer Coat and Pauline Hawkins? What is wrong with you people?? Zip, have you read The Free? (I bet you haven't).

Runaway Train- Soul Asylum

I guess they jumped the shark with that whole record but they were a great band prior to that.

Agreed. Actually I am not much of a Riot Act fan in general but don't say that in the Pearl Jam fan groups online or they'll burn you at the stake.
I like Gone and many songs they've done since.

Primer Coat? That's astonishing!

Pauline Hawkins - not so. It's bang average.

just hit me that I was fortunate enough to see the first concert performance of Outlaw Pete (excepting the two Asbury Park reheaesals). So I've got that going for me, which is nice ;) It was San Jose April Fools 2009 and the joke was on us
