"Better Man" being the only good song on Vitalogy, though I remember they hilariously released "Spin the Black Circle" as the lead single. Laffo.

Nope. Great album start to finish. All the quirky stuff is what makes it great too. I'm so glad bands choose to branch out from mid tempo "rawk" and actually start experimenting an getting creative. The more the mainstream gets alienated, the better.
An album full of Better Man's would've been the end of Pearl Jam (although I like the song). No better way to establish yourself as an adult contemporary borefest. They were way too creative to fall into that middle of the road trap.
