STAYSEA

1. no code
2. Yield
3. Lost Dogs
4. Backspacer
5. Binaural
6. Ten
7. Riot Act
8. Avocado
9. Vs

I'm comfortable with this order, in my small world. This is how I play them. (I don't play ten often, it's played for me every day)

Brian Your score keeping seems kooky, but I trust you.

We will all have scrambled eggs brains.. when it's done

7. Vitalogy ---(the filler always bugged me. Would've been an amazing EP)

This could affect a set list at the next shows.

Or do we need more submissions ?

Okay Dimi ,and Brains... How do we score this one?

When I started setting up a tally chart I listed the 9 studio albums with halves like this:
1
1 1/2
2
2 1/2
3
3 1/2
4
4 1/2
5
5 1/5
6
6 1/2
7
7 1/2
8
8 1/2
9

So if someone rated two albums a tie after, lets say, their third choice, those two would each get 4 1/2 points instead of a 4 and 5 and then move on to 6 though 9.

For the situation with the last three being a tie, I would count all three as an 8 since 8 is the average of 7, 8 and 9. If someone rated the first three 1, 2, and 3 and then the next three a tie, those three would each get a 5 because the average of 4, 5 and 6 is 5.

Or you could tell anyone that uses ties to please try again.

Now you see why I got burned out fast trying to tally these scores. I would recommend everyone try to just list the 9 studio albums in a strict 1 to 9 order with no ties. If you feel two albums tie, flip a coin?[/quote]

I need to get my pen and paper... I've been neglecting.

Backspacer is being bashed again in some threads. It's still the most unloved album by the votes.

Brains.. Bees.

I dig Backspacer, I don't understand the hate. It's a solid album with some great lyrics

Sorry Staysea, this one is still at the bottom of the pile for me.

This is the whole point of the thread. It's our votes. We all decide.
Some members have said they feel naughty to choose. It's like picking a favorite child.
The results will be very interesting. I just need more submissions.

This will affect things in future shows... maybe?

No one is a mind reader.. right?

Of course it will. I am sure the band trolls here all day long.

oh shut it. I wouldn't troll my own fan club if I was that rich... I'd pay some one else.

But we need more votes!

Hi,
I'm Amphetamine Annie, the cat, but you can just call me Annie. Sometimes Brian refers to me as "The dog" because I beg for food at the dining room table and lick the plates clean when my humans put them on the kitchen floor for me.

Anyway, I'm sorry, but I have him preoccupied right now. I like to run up and down the hallway like a little demon and then watch him roll around on the floor laughing. He's trying to catch his breath but I'm sure he will return.

Sincerely,

(paw-print)
-Annie

STAYSEA

We need to mail B a water squirt gun for that cat.

How dare Annie be so beachy to him.

Alright, this is a tough one for me because recently my opinion has changed on the albums. I went on a road trip and I gave all the albums a listen, and I really connected with No Code. I always liked it, but it wasn't my favorite. For all you No Code lovers out there, I finally get it. The album is superb, from start to finish. Here is my current list:

Vs.
Ten
No Code
Vitalogy
Yield
Binaural
Avocado
Riot Act
Backspacer

Just because Backspacer is last, doesn't mean I don't like it. I enjoy the album, I just enjoy the other albums more.

your list....
From most played to not played as much

zje1979

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)
