    Okay. I usually don't like doing this, but thought I would give it a try.
    This is the order I would put them in at this time. And this is studio versions, not live versions.
    The top 4 would almost always be the same.

    1. Indifference
    2. Hard to Imagine
    3. Hold On
    4. Dissident
    5. Go
    6. Animal
    7. Rearviewmirror
    8. Rats
    9. W.M.A.
    10. GLorified G.
    11. Blood
    12. Leash
    13. Daughter
    14. Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town

    10 and 11 could switch places with any given listen. ;)
    Peace, Love.

    "Lost Dogs liner notes for Hold On, "Album: Vs." and then "Almost made it on the Vs. record? Close but no sitar." Ten already has about 10 b-sides anyway. Those rankings will be cumbersome enough as it is."


    Umm you need to look no farther than this website. Read what it says about Hold on. Was a mistake in the liner notes. So I will take that Sitar!!!

    That was harder than I expected it to be. I love Animal, so its not like it deserves to be in "last place" but some song has to be.

    Actually, Go is in last place, since you didn't rank it. ;)

    Ok, you're right. Thanks for the Pearl Jam trivia spanking! I'm leaving Hold On in this contest anyway. I want to keep the Ten rankings no more than 20 songs. Hold On is getting crushed anyway. I don't think it'd do much better against Ten songs.

    Updated Standings

    1- RVM 294
    2- Go 257.5
    3- Indifference 235
    4- Animal 224.5
    5- Hard to Imagine 204
    6- Leash 201
    7- Daughter 174
    8- Small Town 161

    10- Dissident 145
    11- Glorified G 140
    12- WMA 135
    13- Rats 120
    14- Hold On (actually a Ten song- oh well) 111

    Everyone who's done this probably realizes how hard it is, because this album is just stacked. I have a feeling Vs. is somewhat underrated in Pearl Jam lure. It's not the legendary first album, and it's not the fan favorite - Yield. It's not called the Vs. Club.

    RVM has a pretty solid lead. It's fairly competitive after that. Hold On looks like it's gonna finish last. It's a good song, but probably a little out of its league here.

    I went through this exercise not long ago, ranking my favorite songs (and favorite albums) - it was very tough.

    1. RVM
    2. Indifference
    3. Leash
    4. Small Town
    5. Daughter
    6. Go
    7. Animal
    8. Dissident
    9. Glorified G
    10. Blood
    11. Rats
    12. W.M.A.
    13. Hard to Imagine
    14. Hold On

    1-8 there's not a lot of differentiation. Plenty of bands don't have 8 songs this solid in their entire library, let alone on their 2nd release. Gotta say this about Rats: not one of my favorites, but having seen it live recently, it's elevated as one of my favorite live performances.

    I'll post my rankings a little bit later, I have to head to class, but I have to assume most people haven't really given Hold On a listen for it to be ranked last.

    Friday Morning 5 Against 1 Update

    Still no 1st place votes for Daughter, one of PJ's most popular songs. RVM is winning pretty easily. 12 of 34 1st place votes. This is the quintessential Pearl Jam song. Go is perhaps a mild surprise at #2.

    2. Go 310.5
    3. Indifference 298
    4. Animal 284.5
