    This is tough. For me it has to be Black, Dissident & NAIS. These are the standouts.

    I rediscovered Riot Act this week, and I have to say that Ghost may very well be the best song on that album. I know that's not saying much, but it's still an underrated song.

    LEVEL 1: All elite Pearl Jam songs. "Black" is almost untouchable, but "Smile" is just magical. I love McCready's solos on "NAIS"
    1.) Smile
    2.) Black
    3.) Nothing As It Seems
    ---
    LEVEL 2: Not quite elite, but definitely among the best mellow Pearl Jam songs.
    4.) Nothingman
    5.) Just Breathe
    ---
    LEVEL 3: Solid songs. All very enjoyable.
    6.) Wishlist
    7.) Dissident
    8.) Ghost

    Quite the random thread ... man, it's slow around here.

    But I feel stringly enough to post this ...

    1 - 8 - Everything else
    9 - Four minutes of nails across a chalkboard
    10 - Marker in the Sand
