Are you CRAZY!?!?  Pearl Jam have ONE song that is almost not completely awful and that is "Yellow Bedwetter."

I once read a retrospective about "Alternative Press" magazine and one of the editors was discussing the mid-90's alternative "boom" (paraphrase):  "You'll never convince me that Pearl Jam aren't the Bad Company of their generation."

The singer sounds seriously consipated on every Pearl Jam song I've ever heard.

I don't think I've ever heard any B-sides, so can't play the little game.

I heard an interesting live cover version of The Who's Baba O'Reilly by Pearl Jam on DC101 the other day.

It might not of been a B-side, but I liked it.

Pearl Jam covered "Sonic Reducer" as a b-side? Where, when?

i hear that Pearl Jam list the New York Dolls as one of their main influences.

It's been in a couple of their fan club holiday cd's...

Really? My wife has those going back for years. I'll have to go look for it. I love that tune.

As I said, I consider everything not an official album release as a b-side. So Yes, I'd consider their cover of Baba O'Reilly a b-side.

And played at their shows for over a decade.

I'm not much of a fan, so I wouldn't really know that. The only Pearl Jam show I've seen is the one where I proposed to my wife. Coincidentally, after they did a cover ("Know Your Rights" dedicated to the late Joe Strummer).

Check 1992 and 1995....

Not actual Pearl Jam songs, but the Eddie Vedder Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan songs Face of Love and Long Road from Dead Man Walking Soundtrack were great
