1. Man Of The Hour
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXqwtUUPe0w Possibly the most beautiful song on our list, this song debuted on Pearl Jams acoustic show in Washingtons Benaroya Hall, and was written for Tim Burtons film Big Fish. The song is a bittersweet letter from a young man to his departed father, and is one of two songs by the band to feature the same character. Vedder once explained that the man in their song Come Back from their self titled album, is the same man from this track. Man of the Hour is Pearl Jam at their best and most contemplative.
