    The album I have the biggest trouble placing is Ten. It's the accepted classic, one of the greatest debut / albums ever, every song is killer....do I listen to this album? Not really. Vs is nearly in the same boat. During the recent tour I went back and listened to the studio albums again. I found myself constantly reaching for Vitalogy, Yield, No Code, Binaural and Riot Act. I suppose thee lists are forever changing. It's always an interesting exercise.

    I think its safe to say that Backspacer will be the caboose in this poll by a long shot.

    So here are the results from 40 responses, in order of highest avg to lowest avg:

    Vitalogy 3.5
    Vs 3.6
    Yield 3.7
    Ten 3.8
    No Code 3.8
    Binaural 5.4
    Riot Act 6.7
    Avacado 7.2
    Lightning Bolt 8.1
    Backspacer 9.1

    The largest standard deviations were Ten 2.8 and Binaural 2.6. The smallest standard deviations were Lightning Bolt 1.4 and Backspacer 1.5.

    Biggest surprise to me is Ten, I would have assumed it would be #1 by a sizeable margin. Maybe we've all heard the songs too many times?

    Need to think of next stats to run. Maybe top 10 songs on Lost Dogs? Open to suggestions if anyone has them.

    How about ranking the album covers?

    or maybe Top 10 cover songs?
