^If we're doing predictions, I think something by the Foos is gonna ultimately win. I'll say "The Pretender" as my guess with "Walk" as a close second. Well at the very least I guessed the two songs in the finals. And my vote here may help my prediction come true further. "The Pretender" for the win please. |

Tough decision, but I'm going with "Walk."

"Alive"
"Black"
"Even Flow"
"Light Years"
"Do the Evolution"
Picking 5 is hard as hell, especially because three of their signature songs weren't huge radio hits at the time.

Well if "Jeremy" isn't in the bracket, the whole thing's not legit then anyway.

Oops, it was a one-digit typo. Top 3 would be a little too arbitrary to use. Here are the upper 10 seeds, all of Pearl Jam's top 5 singles:
1 "World Wide Suicide"
2 "Brother"
3 "Daughter"
4 "Who You Are"
5 "Better Man"
6 "Last Kiss"
7 "Given To Fly"
8 "I Got Id"
9 "The Fixer"
10 "Jeremy"

Giving Pearl Jam's insane amount of charted songs, going with #3 didn't even sound all that odd to me.

In fact, going with #3 would just leave "Jeremy" to the vote-in, since all the other seeds were top 3 hits.
Just out of curiosity, without the vote in, the 16 songs would be:
1. "Daughter" (#1, 1993)
2. "Who You Are" (#1, 1996)
3. "World Wide Suicide" (#1, 2006)
4. "Brother" (#1, 2009)
5. "Better Man" (#2, 1995)
6. "Last Kiss" (#2, 1999)
7. "I Got Id" (#3, 1995)
8. "Given to Fly" (#3, 1998)
9. "The Fixer" (#3, 2009)
10. "Jeremy" (#5, 1992)
11. "Wishlist" (#6, 1998)
12. "I Am Mine" (#6, 2002)
13. "Just Breathe" (#6, 2010)
14. "Go" (#8, 1993)
15. "Crazy Mary" (#8, 1993)
16. "Hail, Hail" (#9, 1996)
"Nothing as It Seems" (2000) and "Life Wasted" (2006) would be the two top ten hits left out, having peaked at #10.
