    I’d put No Code and S/T in front of it but it did have some great tunes..

    Pearl Jam will always be my favorite band of all time, but I'll have to say Radiohead's 'OK Computer' is my perfect album.

    I love Yield. Period. Top 5 most favorite PJ album…and def on my ‘deserted island’ top 10. 

    Those middle years/albums…pure perfection for my money 🥰…

    The Yield tour was the first time I saw the band live (I’m sure that has a little something to do with it). I also turned 20 the year the album came out. Formative years. 

    No Code and Yield (and in some ways Binaural) all feel connected. Interesting years for this band (96 - 00). 

    Looking back at the band’s history just before this time - seems like we all owe “Uncle Neil” a debt of gratitude. 
    Seems like all of PJ benefited from their work with him just before this stretch of records/touring (No Code, Yield, Binaural).  

    It also seems like the PJ camp held Yield and accompanying tour as something special (at least at that point in their 8 years as a band).

    Yeah Yield was my wake up PJ album and first time seeing them on tour.  Yield/Binaural/Riot Act (although Bin and RA took awhile to grow on me....years for RA) are the trifecta in my opinion.

    The first PJ album I bought was Vitalogy

    It's weird, I still always think of No Code/Yield as the middle hears records but at this stage the self-titled Avocado record is actually the middle years!

    Ha - I know. I still kinda (generically) lump everything post VS as the “middle”… But you’re right - at this point 30 + years in - S/T is currently more middle than what was out in the mid to late 90s.

    Yeah. Makes sense. 

    So - From time to time…I enjoy going back and forth in my head on the pairings of albums.  

    Like - if the bands albums or chunks of years were chapters of a book - what albums/years kinda go together to make up a chapter?
