    S/T
    Backspacer

    Plus a shout out for Lost Dogs (which is a studio album). If I was ranking it on the list I would have it between "No Code" and "Vitalogy". Very hard to rank the first 7 for me...but extremely easy to pick the last 2.... 8-)

    Yeah... when I have a spare 12 months it will be on the top of my to do list
    I don't mean to offend anyone, a lot of what I say should be taken with a grain of salt... that said for most of you I'm a stranger on a computer on the other side of the world, don't give me that sort of power!

    Backspacer above Vitalogy, No Code and Binaural?? Wow. The diversity on this thread is amazing. I didn't even want to include Backspacer on my list because I find it unlistenable but I'm sure some rank it first. I think an interesting bit of data would have been to include when we started listening. I wonder if we would see some similarity in the year you discovered the band and how you rank the albums.

    I was there from Ten. I must admit, I drifted away in the middle. I have no idea why, but I did.

    I got back with Riot Act and haven't looked back.

    Unthought Known and Amongst the Waves are some of my favorite songs in the entire catalog.

    But that's what makes this band great. Meet 10 different PJ fans and you'll get 10 different lists.
    92 - Orlando
    03 - Tampa
    08 - Tampa
    12 - DeLuna Fest, EV Orlando 1 & 2, EV Ft Lauderdale 1 & 2

    I don't really like Yield or Binaural outside of a few songs and LOVE Backspacer and Avocado... I kind of classify Pearl Jam as 3 different eras: Ten/Vs/Vitalogy is classic PJ; No Code/Yield/Binaural is Experimental PJ; Riot Act/Avocado/Backspacer is Mature PJ.

    Athough this list can change daily, right now my top 9 are as follows:

    1. Ten -- my all time favorite album by anyone
    2. Backspacer -- most underrated album, every song is enjoyable, no filler or weird shit just to be different
    3. Avocado -- other than Wasted Reprise filler, every song is enjoyable... similar to Backspacer
    4. No Code -- This fluctuates the most, but right now I'm loving it
    5. Riot Act -- Used to love this more, still a great album
    6. Vitalogy -- half of it would put it at #2, the other half would put it at #9. Come on, Bugs? fucking shit
    7. Vs -- The most overrated album (still pretty good however)
    8. Yield -- weak album, like a handful of songs
    9. Binaural -- Yield/Binaural could have been released as a single album if they scrapped a bunch of the weaker songs (majority of this album)


    Yes... score for back spacer first post for the top 3 :D

    I have my tally.

    I'm going to post it in a few hours along with my notes.

    The answers are suprising.


    THANK YOU to all that voted. New voters are always welcome.

    I hope BrianLux and Dimitri can post their results later tonight with mine. It should be interesting. ?
