The Running Total (first place votes in parentheses):

Looks like Vs is making a late charge!

Ten -- 337 (20)
Vs. -- 375 (31)
Vitalogy -- 314 (26)
No Code -- 297 (15)
Yield -- 377 (28)
Binaural -- 93 (6)
Riot Act -- 36 (3)
Self-Titled/Avocado -- 56 (1)
Backspacer -- 147 (2)

I know there are variations of this thread out there, but with the new album now out a while (for some, longer than others ;) ), I think it's time to finally decide which is the best (or favorite) studio album by the people who know the band the best -- US!! All kinds of varying opinions out there, so I figured if we did this with a scientific, yet simple, approach we could at least get a decent consensus as to what is considered by the fans as the band's best work. That way when the casual person asks me, I can finally say, "well, my favorite is Ten, but if you ask the fan club, the majority would say Yield" and I wouldn't worry about throwing out false information. 8-)

EDIT: Maybe not "scientific," but it does give a perspective by the numbers.

Anyway, here's what you do:

1) List the top five studio albums IN ORDER. The top album gets 5 points, the next 4, etc. I will keep a running total as best I can and after a while we'll see which ones rise to the top.

Here are mine to get started:
1. Ten (5)
2. Vs. (4)
3. Yield (3)
4. Backspacer (2)
5. ST/Avocado (1)

    It's too soon to fairly evaluate "Backspacer," but among the other eight, I'd go with:

    1) "Vitalogy"
    2) "Vs."
    3) "Pearl Jam"
    4) "Riot Act"
    5) "Yield"
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.
