[Timothy]

yeah I notes that Izzy, they should of just called it The Essential Pearl Jam .

[Jaded]

wowsa!!!! a pearl jam greatest hits!!!

[Wheres Izzy]

I like pearl jam but for me they peaked early. Vs. is my favorite album of theirs. As much as some say they over did it not making videos and standing for what they believe in and not giving in to alot of the big businesses is really respectable even tho it obviously hindered alot of their success commerically.

I wish musicians would just keep out of politics - its so cliche and self righteous, i lose so much respect for them.

It's not as if John Kerry is any better..............

why? they are people too and have the right to voice their opinions don't like it don't listen

Pearl Jam Caps Epic Tenure With Hits Set

Pearl Jam will cap its tenure on Epic next month with its first hits collection. Due Nov. 16 via Epic, the double-disc, 33-track "rearviewmirror (greatest hits 1991-2003)" sports 16 top 10 hits on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, including the No. 1s "Daughter," "Betterman" and "Given To Fly," as well as 12 top 10 entries on the Modern Rock Tracks survey.

In lieu of new songs, "rearviewmirror" (the discs for which are split into an "Upside" and "Downside") boasts remixes of three songs from the Seattle rock act's seminal 1991 debut, "Ten." Longtime producer Brendan O'Brien was behind the boards for new mixes of "Once," "Alive" and "Black."

Beyond such staples as "Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town," "Dissident," "Wishlist" and "Even Flow," the album includes the live favorite "Yellow Ledbetter" (which reached seven Billboard charts in the mid-'90s despite never being promoted to radio) and "Man of the Hour," penned for the 2003 Tim Burton film "Big Fish."

Also featured is "Last Kiss," a 1950s cover released on a 1999 charity single that improbably became the band's biggest hit, peaking at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100. The lone Pearl Jam track that appeared on the Hot 100 but is missing from the album is "Tremor Christ," which peaked at No. 18 in the fall of 1995.

Pearl Jam recently wrapped its run on the Vote for Change tour and is expected to hit the studio next month to begin work on its eighth album.

"Once"

what an outstanding selection. I can't believe State of L&T is on there.

[Ignatius]

I'm buying this CD. I didn't have any clue it was coming out until now.

I'm sure this is a great driving CD. Play the thing and let it run for 2 hours. Great song selection.

Fucking Pearl Jam kick fucking ass! I haven't seem them live yet, hopefully they will come to Spain in a few years.

[oneway23]

The tracklist has a GREAT flow to it...it's really seamless...very nice arc...

ok....... so maybe i was the only one who found that funny!

[darkdays_01]

Pearl Jam kicks fucking ass. That is a killer tracklisting. Pearl Jam always deliver. Great Fucking band.

[Dr. Blutarsky]

Pearl Jam is a great band. They are greatly underrated since the genre they came from is pretty much history at this point (Grunge)

However, I wish they did not do that Rock for Change - John Kerry tour. I could give two shits where they stand politically. I like their music, I don`t want to hear who they want me to vote for.

you've probably never been to any of their recent gigs. I think they've been obnoxious about the whole Bush thing for a while now... a few of their songs are even about him. you can't eradicate it. It's there.

[jarmo]

They've always been outspoken about the causes they support.

Did you see the MTV Unplugged from 1992? Eddie wrote Pro Choice on his arm with a marker.

yes, and Eddie also wore a beige shirt with a clothes hanger on SNL in '92, and that totally turned me off. I like a lot of their music in general, though, but I like to leave them alone.
