At Rollingstone.com, they've just posted their Top 100 Songs & Albums of the past decade (2000 - 2009). Now I know these lists are pointless... as a matter of fact, I just saw a VH1 countdown that listed "Baby Got Back" as one of the top 10 songs of the 1990's! Anyways, no Pearl Jam album or song made the Top 100 for the past decade according to RS.

By the way, they listed Radiohead's Kid A as top album of the decade and "Crazy" by Gnarls Barkley as the top song.

    You need to take your fan blinders off for a second and realize that in the 2000's...the band released Binaural, Riot Act, Avocado and Backspacer. Although most of the people around here generally love those albums...there are no songs on them that the mainstream music fan would consider particularly memorable or best of the decade. I don't think any really come close. Not a single song from those albums has maintained radio airplay outside of a few months from it's release. I'm sure some of the people around here will take the omission personally but don't. You aren't in the band so it doesn't matter.

    And I am a huge Radiohead fan, as evidenced by my username, but Kid A the top album of the decade? Give me a break.

    Can't really argue too much with Kid A, the album came out in 2000 and changed music forever....so many artists were influenced by it.

    they could've had Backspacer in the 90 range. but they also left vs off the top 500 albums and Mike and Stone off the greatest guitarists(which they admitted screwing up on). and ed being left off the singers list. But i don't think rollingstone is voting. it's other artists and producers though that's doing this.

    Binaural would have been the Pearl Jam album that I would have chosen as the best of this decade. 7 of the 13 songs are classics and the rest are just ok. But it should def. be there ahead of some of the other albums on that list. I mean they have the most recent U2 and Bruce Springsteen albums on there, which I guess have to be, because its rolling stone....

    Maybe it's because Ed told a story about using their magazines to wipe his arse in Cincinnati, 2006...?

    man I fucking detest that record.

    so many do love it though.

    To me and this is only my opinion, it was the sound of a band totally losing its way. If that was radioheads debut, they would be busking by now
