Earlier this week, Pearl Jam revealed plans to release their ninth album Backspacer, played a secret Seattle show for a Target commercial, then celebrated the announcement by performing their new song “Get Some” on the premiere episode of The Tonight Show With Conan O’Brien. For this weekend’s Rock List, let’s look back at the Seattle legends’ discography, from Ten to the avocado-covered LP, and tally up the best Pearl Jam songs. Here are some of our picks:

• “Porch”
• “Tremor Christ”
• “Dissident”
• “Alive”
• “Present Tense”

Hope more people vote for their quieter, more contemplative material. While Pearl Jam can rock like no other, it’s their slower material that I find myself gravitating to more often.

How can you narrow it down? If I started listing them I would wind up listing the entire catalogue. It is impossible to pick just a few “best”. It depends on your mood at the moment. My list would be ever changing.
