    Let's work this out "aloud"....

    - Ten is 11 out of 11 (or 13 out of 13 if I sneak in Breath and SOLAT) for songs I like.
    - Vs is 12 out 12
    - Vitalogy gets tricky. 10 out of 10 for "proper" songs 12 out of 14 if you start mixing in the "stuff."
    - No Code: I like 10 out of 13 songs. No need to name the three I dislike.
    - Yield: 10 out of 12 for "normal" songs. Do I even count Red Dot and Hummus? Nah. And where does the beautiful "Untitled" fit in?
    - Binaural: 10 out 13
    - Riot Act: 12 out of 15
    - Self-Titled: 7 out of 13
    - Backspacer: 6 out of 11
    - Lightning Bolt: 8 out of 12
    - Lost Dogs: 17 out of 30 (I've removed the two covers and replaced them with Leatherman and Angel)
    - Merkinball: 2 out of 2
    - MOTH is good. Ole is not. Of the Earth is okay. Just a Girl has never grown on me.

    I've probably overlooked something but for now I'm looking at 120/165=73%.

    I would have thought it would have been higher.

    I'm shocked that Binaural and Riot Act are so high… I keep telling myself I need to try those albums again because people say they like songs on there and I don't hear it.

    There are only a few songs I don't particularly care for:
    Yellow Ledbetter
    Last Kiss
    Marker In The Sand
    Force of Nature
    The End
    Sirens

    Really? You don't like YLB? Or The End?

    I'm somewhere around 90% right now. The only live songs I don't want to hear right now are sirens and just breathe (mostly because the predictable spot it was being forced into over and over as an encore opener).

    There were a lot of songs from the 2000 forward catalog that I was initially not crazy about but now love after giving them another chance.
    1996: Randall's Island 2  1998: East Rutherford | MSG 1 & 2  2000: Cincinnati | Columbus | Jones Beach 1, 2, & 3 | Boston 1 | Camden 1 & 2 2003: Philadelphia | Uniondale | MSG 1 & 2 | Holmdel  2005: Atlantic City 1  2006: Camden 1 | East Rutherford 1 & 2 2008: Camden 1 & 2 | MSG 1 & 2 (#25) | Newark (EV)  2009: Philadelphia 1, 2 & 4  2010: Newark | MSG 1 & 2  2011: Toronto 1  2013: Wrigley Field | Brooklyn 2 | Philadelphia 1 & 2 | Baltimore  2015: Central Park  2016: Philadelphia 1 & 2 | MSG 1 & 2 | Fenway Park 2 | MSG (TOTD)  2017: Brooklyn (RnR HOF)  2020: MSG | Asbury Park  2021: Asbury Park  2022: MSG | Camden | Nashville  2024: MSG 1 & 2 (#50) | Philadelphia 1 & 2 | Baltimore  2025: Raleigh

    To be honest, most of my decisions were based on live performances of songs from these albums as opposed to the studio versions of these songs. I don't listen to the studio albums anymore - although I heard studio-Getaway for the first time in about a year and it sounded great!

    I literally like every single song on the first 8 studio albums. I don't love them all (but a lot of them!), but I at least like all of them, including Foxy Mop. I don't like anything on BS (although like one or two of them live), and i don't like 3 songs on LB, so that's around 90% that i at the very least like, and mostly love. But there are some non-studio album songs i don't like too, like Bee Girl and Ole and crap like that, a few Xmas single B sides, etc... then again, I like MOST of their non-studio stuff, and random live covers and improvs, so I guess that keeps me in the 90% range at least, not 80% like I guessed before.

    I still don't understand why everyone doesn't love love love Binaural and Riot Act from start to finish (not to mention S/T). It's vexing, lol.

    "...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
    "..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."

    There's really only a few that I don't like. I'd say I like around 85-90% of their songs.

    Aside from a few clunkers, they are excellent albums.
