I am doing some very tedious work, and RP in general, and this specifically, is really helping.

Occasionally, Eddie hits it out of the park—"The Face of Love" from the soundtrack for "Dead Man Walking" or "Hard Sun" for "Into the Wild." But most of the time I get my fill of Vedder pretty quickly. I'm with you on this. I must've listened to FM radio too much when this came out. The guitar solo is really great though.

I stand corrected.  {#Foot-in-mouth}   For your response, I'll stop whining for, uh, one whole song.  {#Beat}

I'm not going to say that my entire musical tastes evolved around PJ, but this band showed me so much more was to be found outside of the "comfort zone" of what my limited tastes were at the time.  

I've long since moved past the 90's grunge movement, but this album, along with many others that I discovered at this time in my life, have a special place in my ears.   
 
This man speaks for many.

I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that Byronape is an American male of a certain generation - now aged between 30 and 50.  Many many of that brood, were either pre-teens, teens or college kids when this came out.  They were inclined toward hard rock and they found in Pearl Jam (and a few others) hard rock with intelligence and meaning made for their generation - as opposed to the music of Stones, the Who and Zeppelin (and others) - which was made for my generation. 

I have witnessed many of these men at every one of the many Pearl Jam concerts I have attended and see how this band moves them profoundly and means so much to their psyche.

Wow, that is amazingly unexpected....ha.  So it has been two decades + since I waaayyyyy over played this album.  Love the song, but I killed it for myself by playing so much.

One time I was driving a car in Jersey City, summer day, windows down, I blasted this so LOUD the rear deck speaker grills BLEW OFF. I thought pigeons had flown into the car, I almost had an accident. 
 
On the other hand, I cannot really understand why this piece shows up so often. Another mystery...

Answers, in the order of your questions. 

Because I suspect the number is very high.

Because I hope RP takes it out of the rotation, or at least only plays it once a year.  I have heard it enough.

I gave it a 10, though it is not genius.  Black is genius, and also overplayed.

It's a good song, but I've heard it SO many times! Maybe if I don't hear it for 5-10 yrs, then I'll really like it again.

Mike McCready's guitar solo may not be one of the most technically proficient, but it's instantly recognizable sort of iconic at this point.

I generally agree. There were some bands that I believe profoundly changed music during the early 90's. Pearl Jam and Tool rank right near the top for me.

Wait a sec there captain.  Those passing fashion statements have nothing to do with music.  That would be the marketing aspect of rock-n-roll.   Let's not inject that nonsense into the discussion, please.   These guys are and were great, but we hear them way too much.
