You should always judge everybody by their best work I guess. I have a theory that anybody who never makes something terrible isn't taking enough risks. It seems like pretty near all the great visionary artists have at least some horrendous failures to their name. Ok, that's not really relevant in a discussion about this band, but I guess at least somebody on their end could see well enough not to put Dirty Frank on any album. Maybe they wanted to make sure Even Flow got maximum play?Actually though, if you make something that is so bad that it is remarkable, maybe you SHOULD be judged on that too. But since it's remarkable, maybe you should in fact be applauded for your achievement. Does Dirty Frank deserve a higher profile in the Bad Song Hall Of Fame?When someone says "shit song", should people reflexively think "Dirty Frank by Pearl Jam is a shit song"? Does Dirty Frank need more champions out there?
