    Pearl Jam first, Binaural a very close second. LB and BS are next, followed by my least favorite: Riot Act. RA has always felt incomplete to me.

    Lightning Bolt & Binaural were not far behind though.

    It's my favorite PJ album, but Riot Act is a real close second (some days it's my fave), and Pearl Jam is a very close third. I love those three albums a LOT. They are all in my top 5 (the other two are No Code and Yield).

    Obviously Backspacer and LB are my least favorite PJ albums. By far.

    Some Backspacer love! Great album that doesn't deserve anywhere near the amount of flack it gets.

    Slight edge to Binaural over RA.
    LB is easily at the back of this line. It makes Backspacer seem like a strong entry.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    Riot Act is their most diverse sounding LP. I love the atmosphere on it. Better than the Binaural atmosphere.

    avocado won PJ's twitter poll last night. I wish i could connect with that album. I dont know why i cant.

    Riot Act is connected with an amazing time period for me. Backspacer is extremely listenable. Those two pop singles are awesome man. Especially when your teenage kids and their friends come home blasting it. I was so proud.

    Chose Binaural.

    LB was a close second.

    Good results for self titled, doing better than I thought it would, not that I dislike it, gets a lot of love around here lately.

    Binaural > Riot Act > Lightning Bolt > ST > Backspacer

    That said, I'm not a Backspacer hater. I'll happily sit and listen to it but it's nowhere near classic PJ status IMO.

    Avacado. I felt it was the best album since Yield and a return to form. I love that album. Riot Act is decent and reminds me of my university days.... but Avacado is my favourite of the Matt Cameron era albums.

    Riot Act
    Tough one....but riot act for me obviously post roskilde it was going to be a emotionally charged album, from can't keep to all or none it's a masterpiece , with the election of George bush and 9/11 fresh in the mind it reflected the albums edge, I am mine, green disease and ghost my favs and arc a fitting tribute. Backspacer a close second...allthough not a fav on the forum I think the album is a good balance in there catalogue...a different edge...
