    I was really having a tough time with this till I thought about which I Listen to the most. Backspacer being the exception since its new. I can't remember playing any other album this much and liking as many songs 2 weeks into it.

  • I think Backspacer is great, but I'm going to need more time before I put it in a top 5 list. It's awesome that PJ has 9 albums now to choose from. Here is what I remember about each album after first listen, and my thoughts on it now...

    Ten - Pretty good. It didn't hit me like Nevermind, but pretty darn good. It's pretty damn great now of course.

    Vs. - Great from the start, and still very strong.

    Vitalogy - I remember not being impressed and telling a buddy, I'm done buying PJ albums. Hah! That didn't last long...I believe No Code was the first album I bought on the day it was released.

    Yield - Said it might be my favorite after the first listen or two, and still put it way up there.

    Binaural - After Yield, a bit of a disapointment...but it is a great album, and I have nothing bad to say about it now.

    Riot Act - Another minor let down after first listen, but once again...I love it like all the others now.

    Avocado - I liked it a lot from the beginning, but don't play it much these days for some reason. I have a feeling, when they put out album #10, Avocado will be back in my good graces (PJ is like fine wine...it gets better with age).

    Backspacer - Very impressive album, and just way too soon to start saying it's a top 5, but it could be someday for all I know.

    My list (as impossible of a task it is to rank them)...

    2) No Code

    4) Ten
    5) Vs.
    6) Binaural
