Hi Brad and Brad, Today is the day that I share something with Vs.  However, I came into this world 12 years before this masterpiece did.  Last year I wrote down my track-by-tack take on what I consider to be their best collection of songs given that I cannot bring myself to skip any track.  My favorite song(s) on this album have changed over time.  Just like you guys say about ranking all 10 of their studio albums, my least-favorite track on Vs. is still a "top 50" song for me.  I wrote out my track ranking this morning, which will probably change if you asked me to give this list a week from now.  1. Rearviewmirror 2. W.M.A. 3. Glorified G 4. Indifference 5. Blood 6. Animal 7. Go 8. Daughter 9. Dissident 10. Leash 11. Elderly Woman 12. Rats For the longest time I considered Glorifed G and Dissident my two favorites, however since listening to your podcast I've discovered so much more about the songs on Vs. that has changed my top 2.  I hate putti

Hi Jessi and Kate, The first time I heard Given to Fly, I immediately thought of Going to California.  I had immersed myself into the catalog of Led Zeppelin before Pearl Jam, so it was hard for me to shake the comparison between the two songs.  Going to California is one of my favorite Led Zeppelin songs, so it was easy for me to like Given to Fly.  It didn't take long for Given to Fly to become my favorite Pearl Jam song and continues to be to this day.

Hi Brad and Brad, Last year's episode (Episode 72) dropped on Christmas Eve told Bill Castrovince's story.  It was a story that hit home to me, because my mother had been diagnosed with a similar type of cancer to Bill's.  During Bill's story, he mentioned a 50:50 chance of a prognosis that would potentially limit his life to about a year from diagnosis.  I'm grateful that Bill received a prognosis that he would get to live a long and happy life.  It was a success story that I was excited to hear about at that time.  My mother did not receive the same prognosis.  Unfortunately, she came up on the other side of the coin.  As of this morning, her bout with cancer ended just one day short of her 64th birthday.  My love for music is largely inspired by her and I feel that motivation has helped me connect with so many incredible people through music, including both of you.  The constant theme I have enjoyed since listening to Single Podcast Theory, has been reth
