A Fictional 2000-2013 Best Of Pearl Jam

thispureamericanriotthispureamericanriot California Posts: 514
I noticed lately on the forum some great discussion about later-day PJ. I see many people consider Ten-Yield as their "peak years" (1991-1998) and Binaural-Lightning Bolt (2000-2013) as their "late period". I've really enjoyed the recent polls about each album and love the discussion it begins.

So my opening gambit if you're willing to play is this: Make a 10 Song "Best of Pearl Jam: 2000-2013" with 2 songs from each of the later 5 albums (Binaural-Lightning Bolt). You can sub out songs from Lost Dogs if you want but I'm not going to. Here goes:

Best of PJ: 2000-2013
1. God's Dice
2. Insignificance
3. Love Boat Captain
4. I Am Mine
5. Life Wasted
6. World Wide Suicide
7. The Fixer
8. Amongst The Waves
9. Let's The Records Play
10. Sirens

Thanks!

    If I had to make an album from those 5 maybe I would choose different songs to create a better flow..
    but some of the best songs, to me, are:
    1 - Sleight Of Hand
    2 - Nothing As It Seems
    3 - Cropduster
    4 - All Or None
    5 - Army Reserve
    6 - Marker In The Sand
    7 - Gonna See My Friend
    8 - Johnny Guitar
    9 - My Father's Son
    10 - Pendulum

    Whenever I see threads like this I like to just read through all of them and find one that's close to my own. So far? Nothin! Seems like I read one and think "yep, yes, YES, with ya, yup...", then "wait, what?! NO!!" Haha. I think F ME IN THE BRAIN has it closest for me. I could see myself picking most of those on a given day. Anyways, here goes.

    Side A
    Severed Hand
    MYM
    Grievance
    Save You
    Comatose

    Side B
    Thumbing My Way
    Unthought Known
    Sleight of Hand
    Yellow Moon
    Amongst the Waves

    Bonus 45 Lost Dogs Side A - Sad
    Side B - Strangest Tribe

    I have no beef with I Am Mine. Liked seeing Force of Nature get so much love. Dealbreakers for me were Swallowed Hole, My Father's Son, Jonny Guitar, Gonna See My Friend (really all of Jammalambo's... ;) Sorry. Also not a fan of Let the records play. I'd buy any of these other albums though.

    Chronologically:
    Parting Ways
    Of The Girl
    Save You
    I Am Mine
    Severed Hand
    Inside Job
    Unthought Known
    Amongst the Waves
    Getaway
    Pendulum

    Sequenced for an album:
    Side A
    1. Pendulum
    2. Save You
    3. Unthought Known
    4. Severed Hand
    5. I Am Mine
    Side B
    1. Of The Girl
    2. Getaway
    3. Amongst the Waves
    4. Inside Job
    5. Parting Ways

    Reading through my own list above, I think the album is sort of a mishmash. Don't get me wrong, I like most of the songs I listed (although I'm not really too sure about Amongst the Waves - there's probably two dozen songs in total I'd prefer to take from the other four albums) but they don't really flow together. Binaural seems like such a different album than the most "recent" two.

    This wouldn't be my list (not even close, to be honest) but a "Greatest Hits: 2000-2013" might look something like this:

    Nothing As It Seems
    Light Years
    I Am Mine
    Save You
    World Wide Suicide
    Life Wasted
    The Fixer
    Just Breathe
    Mind Your Manners
