10 rock songs that turn 25 years old in 2019
2. Pearl Jam - Better Man
Before putting this list together, I'll be honest, I totally forgot about this song...
...because it's totally forgettable. This is not one of Pearl Jam's best. It's nowhere near as good as Alive or Even Flow.
The pacing is weird, the mix isn't the best, and overall this song just seems too happy to be a Pearl Jam song. It just doesn't work. At the tail you can even hear a mistimed drum hit. It's bad.
This was a time when the band was just slapping together songs quickly and without much thought, and it shows with Better Man.
