I don't think they're mad for playing it. It's only curious to me with so many other strong songs on the A side instead of this. But Love, Reign O'er Me did not deserve airplay either in my mind, and it obviously did not get much.

This isn't about Pearl Jam, but I had a reply all ready to go for that Eminem thread and I can't use it cause it got locked on me. If they get locked then how can we ridicule and mock? It's just so unfair.

I'm surprised it's doing way better in Alternative than in Active Rock.

Well it's also charting on Hot AC which is often a sign that a song will do better than expected at alternative as compared to active rock.

I'm surprised it's doing way better in Alternative than in Active Rock. Given it's one of their gentlest sounding singles yet, I'm not surprised at all. As it is, a vast majority of the time their singles have had superior peaks on Alternative radio than on Active Rock radio (even their heaviest offerings like "World Wide Suicide" peaked higher on Alternative than on Active Rock). If anything, I'm pleasantly surprised Alternative radio has embraced this secondary single of theirs. It's been a while since a secondary single from a Pearl Jam album has had particular success and/or longevity on any radio format ("Life Wasted" scratched the Top Ten, but fell off the chart rapidly and had a very short chart run) and it's looking like this will be their most successful secondary single in over a decade. Sincerely, Lisping Hibiscus

It would be nice if it charted a little bit higher on Active.

Obviously Even Flow and Daughters are their two biggest second singles (if they were indeed second to radio). But I'll be damned if I can't remember any second singles from No Code, Vitalogy, and Yield.

I liked Wishlist. Not so much from the others. Did Binaural ever get a second release past Nothing As It Seems?

I haven't heard this song yet, and every time I see the name in this topic or on a chart, the Faith Hill song plays in my head.

Ehh... I have no alternative station here; I haven't driven much lately (in my car is where I'd get the best chance to hear the song on my Active Rock station), and most of my music-listening over the past month or so has been devoted to reviewing the past 10 years of hits in consideration for my decade-end chart.

I don't hear this nearl as much as its numbers would indicate. I'm ready to get back to real Pearl Jam with the next release. Here's to Gonna See My Friend!

My Pearl Jam-loving friend told me today that this song was originally an Eddie Vedder b-side from Into the Wild. And I just had to laugh, because while I didn't care for "Hard Sun" at all, this is my favorite "Pearl Jam" single in 10 years. Since "Last Kiss," which was a cover song. I think if I were to lower the bar a little, "I Am Mine" would be my next favorite of this decade, followed by "Brother." But I didn't chart either of those.

I'm not surprised to hear it could have been an Into The Wild b-side or late cut. It has the same vibe and sound. I liked Hard Sun, but it was partly a nostalgic reason because I remember when the original version came out around 1989, it took me back to one of my favorite years growing up.
I'm an unabashed PJ fan though too, I loved World Wide Suicide but would have to agree that the album overall was one of my least faves of their collection.
This song, for whatever reason, was easily one of my favorites of the year and I'm glad that Backspacer wasn't a disappoint like the previous effort was, at least to my PJ standard.

By contrast, I like "Hard Sun" more than any PJ single in the past 10 years. (Well, really since '93 and "Daughter".) I haven't even heard most of their 1994-2000 output, though.

The few times I heard Vedder's remake of Hard Sun I did not care for it. But why's he getting sued for a song he covered?

"Peterson claims Vedder altered the key lyrics which “eroded the integrity” of the song. Universal Music is also named in the suit claiming the label licensed “Hard Sun” without Peterson’s permission." So basically because he's a dick. Peterson rather, not Vedder.

You think he would just be happy with the attention to his song and the re-release of the album, 20 years later. Especially considering his obscure Canadian status and the reality that "Hard Sun" was a forgotten track until Eddie's resurrection.

Update: I heard the live version of this on VH1 late, late last night... and I liked it a lot. Not as much as "Hard Sun", but still probably enough to put it above their other stuff in the past 10 years, just as Nick. :o So basically because he's a dick. Peterson rather, not Vedder. So you're the one who hacked his Wikipedia page.
