    When should I do a Tally?.. If I wanted to?

    I'm happy to do the tally if and when you say the word, STAYSEA.

    And I won't cheat. I swear on a stack of Dr. Seuss books! :mrgreen:

    Agreed, I am sick of reading on Twitter these clueless people quoting Betterman using the #PearlJam hash tag and they have no ####ing clue that the song is about a man beating up a woman all the time and she hasn't found the courage to leave him, they have turned into a ####ing love song!I use to give it a 10, but it has been ruined for me, by these people celebrating it, I am sure it will eventually be down to a 3 for me, this is a 10 version for me, but we will never be lucky enough to ever see this version again, who knows he may of even been writing about his own mother getting abused? the band use to just go out and kick ass on the song but now it has been turned into a campfire sing along, it lost all it's intensity for me

    They do the same thing with Sarah Mclaughlin 'Angel" people play it for funerals and tragedies when the song is about shooting heroin in a hotel room.

    I hear you, and I was very close to posting something very similar. I went back and looked at my ranking and already, 4 days later, I would change the order.

    sorry Johnny Guitar is atrocious, it sounds like they are trying to fit a square peg in around hole, I have to change my Pearl Jam radio every time that song comes on

    I love Johnny Guitar...not the most accessible song, though, I'll give you that.
    sorry, hate it, easily my least favorite Pearl Jam song ever, including all the weird sonic experiments they put on some records, and all their unreleased stuff as well, and I would bet it is the least listened to song on the album as well? and I would of lost, apparently a lot of people listen to it to hear Just Go Away, I mean Just Breathe, because it has more listens than Supersonic, Speed Of Sound, Force Of Nature and The End which I think are all awesome songs, but Just Go Away has way more listens than any other song, shockingly, or maybe not so much with today's musical tastes of the masses http://www.last.fm/music/Pearl+Jam/Backspacer

    I could be remembering this wrong so don't jump down my throat but doesn't Stone say in the PJ20 book that Just Breathe is one of the greatest songs Ed has ever written? I'll find the page when I get home. BTW, having a 1 1/2 year old I have enjoyed Just Breathe a lot more recently after Ed told the crowd in Phoenix that its a love song from the perspective of a parent, not based on two lovers

    Today, this would be my rank order. No Code & Yield are interchangeable on any given day, and Binaural & Backspacer are as well. Not a bad album in the bunch by any means, but their first three albums have always been my favorites...and frankly I think Ten is one of the absolute greatest debut albums by any band. Start to finish it is an incredible artistic offering in my opinion.

    I've tallied the first 6 pages and to that point the general trend is:

    No Code, Ten, VS, Yield looking strong

    Pearl Jam, Backspacer Riot Act tending weak.

    Final results when STAYSEA gives the ok.

    Interestingly, "Ten" looks to be running around 3rd or 4th so far.
