Daughter

by

Pearl Jam

Edit

This cd is outstanding for the following reason: It contains one the only live recordings of blood that can be easily acquired by anyone. IF you dont remember this song, it was the most aggressive-hard-rocking track off of vs... It starts out with a little rythm and funk on guitars, while the bass plays a silent riff. "spin me around/roll me over/... circus" eddies sings with a high scratchy voice... before the song breaks into the chorus that makes PJ seem like a hardrock metal band..."its my blood."

Back in the days this was also one of 2 cds that contained a live version of Yellow led better. This is a great rendition of the song, although not one of the best.

And the title track, daughter, which simply needs no introduction.

But i truly recommend this cd to any PJ fan... youll be surprised when you remember how hard they used to rock when they were filled with energy and anger...

definetly a must have....

just for "blood" its worth more than advertised...

I'll admit it, back in the early days, I was a real big fan of Peal Jam. They rocked, and , more importantly, they stood up for those less fortunate than middle America. Than I head the song 'Daughter' and I learned that Eddie didn't have sympathy for at least one disadvantaged group in America: The mentally handicapped. On that track he cruelly and heartlessly mocks the vocal affectations of those with mental disabilities, just to get a cheap laugh. I'll admit it, his impression is dead on: He totally sounds like a 'tard. But is it really appropriate to mock the mentally handicapped, particularly when one is involved in so many fashionable, liberal causes? Well, no. The time for fratboy humor is over, Mr. Vedder.
