I still think "Jeremy" is a great song; it just doesn't rank as high as the others for me, and that might be partly due to over saturation-- as it was everywhere when it came out. But for me, the real winners are the alt-art rock songs: “Black,” “Oceans,” “Garden,” and “Release." There's so much more to those songs than anything else that the other bands in Pearl Jam's class were doing at the time, and those songs really set the stage for alt-art rock, which would be succeeded by other songs from bands like The Smashing Pumpkins.
