Ten, overrated? Really? I can see it not being someone’s number 1, but to call it overrated is a bit too far. But that is just my opinion.
Also my opinion, but yeah, I think that if someone says that Ten is PJ's best album, it is being overrated by a long shot. I don't think it's even CLOSE to being their best album, for several reasons.

Ten Overrated?? this new forum hurts more than the eyes!!!
"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”

I LOVE Ten. But it's far from their best album IMO is all I'm saying. I don't think it reflects who they are as a band that well, and it's slightly one dimensional compared to several of their other albums. That in PJ terms, not general terms, because it's still one of the best albums ever made. But I've probably got ranked at #7 or so. Although my favorite PJ song is on it - Release. And all the other songs are also amazing. Just imagine how much I love those 6 albums I rank above it! :P

I 100% Agree with everything you just said! B-)
Tres Mts- 3/16/2011
Eddie Vedder- 7/16/11
Brad- 4/21/12 (RSD Performance), 4/27/12, 8/10/12
Flight To Mars- 5/23/12
RNDM- 11/27/12
PEARL JAM- 12/6/13 I have finally seen Pearl Jam live!
Honestly I would have to say that I hope they haven't made my favorite album yet!
My fav to this point is Yield because of the way the subject matter and music connects. Its their motif.
Yeah, I would love to think that my favorite album is still to come!! Jeff Ament said in an interview last year that HE thinks their best album is still ahead of them.... for what it's worth (and assuming he wasn't thinking that LB would be the one; I didn't get that impression).

Hard to say. Whatever i rank them in, i'lll go back, listen again and totally change it. right now im still listening to Lightning Bolt non stop at the mo.
Vs is amazing! (better than Ten IMO). But really, ranking Pj albums is a bit pointless for me and I think many of us. I actually have only three rankings. Five albums are number 1, four more are number 2 (but not far behind number 1), and number 3 is Backspacer.

At this very moment, if we're talking albums that I would most like to listen to from beginning to end all by myself with the volume way the hell up, the list goes like this:
Ten No Code Pearl Jam Lightning Bolt Riot Act Binaural Vs Yield Vitalogy Backspacer
Backspacer's actually grown on me recently. I personally don't jive with the Yield love- that album is way uneven for my tastes. Same with Vs and Vitalogy. Great songs on all of them, but also a lot of my least favorite PJ tracks. Ten to me is absolute perfection. There are other albums by other bands that I could say that about (several Pink Floyd albums come to mind, also Soft Bulletin, Perfect From Now On, In Rainbows, etc), but I'm not sure there's a one that I hold higher.

You never really had to begin with.
Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.
