my two cents... I think Dimitris way makes most sense(at least I think it was his). If Vs is 1 and Yield is 2 then you give one point to Vs and 2 points to Yield. When it is all tallied order them by lowest to highest. Throw out the ties.

I like cents. Keep in mind Dimitri posted his count one month before I posted mine. Things change and they will always.

This is the Order That the Albums are Played 3/29/2013.

Starting with the first album you play ending with the album you play the least

#1 Ten

#2 Yield

#3 Vitalogy

#4 No Code

#5 Vs

#6 Binaural Is the dominating number 6 spot by a landslide.

#7 Riot Act

#8 Avocado/ ST/ Pearl Jam

#9 Backspacer

So, in theory if any one of us went over to a ten club members house for tea. This is the most popular order they "we" play Pearl Jam's albums, and now we know. ... For now

(I scanned my notes but I didn't feel the need to post them, but I will if you want.)

HAPPY rearviewross???

Here is what I came up with. I abandoned the 1/2 point system in favor of equal points for albums listed as ties. Albums listed first got one point and last got nine. I only counted the nine studio albums since that is what most people listed.

So, the grand totals-- plus or minus a few points for errors (this was harder to do that it looks!) are as follows:

Yield............ 317
No Code........ 339
Ten...............346
VS.................394
Vitalogy...........422
Binaural...........553
Riot Act...........661
Pearl Jam.........699
Backspacer........823

Yield is the winner with No Code and Ten vying closely for second place. Good job everybody.

Happy listening and remember- the least favorite Pearl Jam album is better than no Pearl Jam at all. All told, it's a great body of work!

So the most popular time for the band was the Jack Irons era, followed in order by the Daves. Which is pretty much how I feel. Also interesting that it is in chronological order with the Jack albums removed and put on top.

Thanks for putting the time and effort into this guys.

I knew I turned into a pain in the ass. Sorry. Nice work. Thanks for all the time you put in Staysea.

This is an excellent observation, rearviewross. I think all the Pearl Jam drummers have done fine work and would never slight any of them. Yet at the same time, I'm a big Jack Irons fan and it's great to see his influence acknowledged here. Thanks for pointing that out.

It wasn't just me. Everyone helped. It would have been nothing with out the posts and thoughts from everyone.

Brian and Dimitris Are Super awesome. I couldn't have done it with out them and Mamasan Bren. But we will keep it going.? I wanted to get opinions before the next shows. But it will always change. We are snowflakes.

:thumbup: A Big Thanks to all of you!

When should we do a new count? A few months after the new album?

Well, I think it should be... Just kidding. A few months is a good idea.

Maybe after the new album has been out for a few months to give everyone a chance to let it settle in. I don't know if this is common, but sometimes when I first hear an album I don't care for it all that much but later find it grows on me. Riot Act was like that. I didn't care for it all all and now R.A. is one of my very favorites. The reverse is true sometimes as well- there are albums that don't hold up as well after a few listenings.

In the mean time I'd be happy to update the current tally as new scores come in from those who didn't vote yet (but save revisions until the new tally starts up). What do you say- yea or nay?
