Great topic this week...haven't listened yet but will provide my own list now to avoid being influenced by the ones you two three make.
Fave/Least Fave Alive/Even Flow* (just a bit bored of EF these days...I guess I listen to too many boots - although oddly enough Alive is also on most of them!) RVM/WMA* (If only due to its low total of live performances...again, all I listen to are boots these days) Immortality/Stupid Mop (edit: Satan's Bed) Hail Hail/I'm Open Given To Fly/Pilate Parting Ways/Soon Forget Save You/Arc (edit: Get Right) Severed Hand/Big Wave Unthought Known/Johnny Guitar Getaway/Sirens...no Future Days....no Sleeping By Myself...yes, Sleeping By Myself
*Still great tunes, just gotta pick something for the bottom. And, no, I wouldn't take a piss break during Even Flow.
...and now I'm listening and regretting/questioning putting Even Flow and WMA last. Again, no songs on the first two albums come remotely close to being "clunkers."
...and if I'm not counting the four non-songs on Vitalogy, my least would be Satan's Bed.

Beat me to it! This week, our buddy Clint joins us again to tackle our favorite/least favorite track from each Pearl Jam studio album. Let us know yours here or at singlepodcasttheory@gmail.com.

I agree about the first two albums for sure. Even my “least favorites” are songs I like a lot (mostly).

Merry Christmas from Brad Lyons and myself! On our new episode, we cover the first 6 TenClub Christmas Singles and read a bunch of listener emails. We hope everyone’s having a great holiday.
Happy New Year, everybody! On our new episode, we read some emails and review the incredible show from New Year’s Eve ‘92 in New York City. Here’s to a great 2018!
New week! New episode! We give some love to our listeners through emails and try out a new segment. Then, it’s all about Backspacer in the land of SPT. Happy Monday, nerds!
Enjoyed this one even though you two were more than kind to the album. It's definitely in position 10 out of 10 in my album rankings. With this said, it's not all bad... it's just that these songs pale in comparison when put next to their earlier work.
Referencing the podcast, did you get that Muse playlist from anyone else? If not, check out these big tracks from their second, third, and fourth albums:

I can’t argue with that last sentence! I did get a Muse playlist but your list has a few extra tracks that I’ll add to it. Thanks!

I steered clear of Muse's last few albums when I made my list. The more recent tracks aren't quite as good. Hmmmmmm...sounds familiar.
This week, we take a trip to the Songwriter's Corner. Most band members just lend their voices on an instrument to a song written by someone else. Pearl Jam is unique in that every member is not only a top notch player, but also a top notch songwriter. So, from time to time, we will be featuring our favorite songs written a specific band member. This week is the mighty Mike McCready! Of course we will also be digging in to emails and the Pearl Jam Story of the Week! Enjoy!
I'm sure I'm in the minority, but I find myself listening less and less as the email portion takes up far too much time. I'll skip ahead and try to find when you start talking about the theme of the episode, but probably miss some that way. I like the discussion around the theme, but it just takes too long to get there. Just my two cents.

We just dropped a bonus episode which features no email at all! It’s my review of Wrigley II.

This week, we go back to discussing our favorite lead guitarist, Mike Fuckin McCready! Last week, we discussed our favorite Mike songs, but this week we go deeper with a look at some of Mike’s side projects and talk some gear. And as always, we read some emails and tell a Listener’s Pearl Jam Story.
Available now on ITunes/Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and most Podcast apps out there!
Join us as we go back to July 11, 1995, when Pearl Jam played Chicago’s Soldier Field. We discuss this incredible performance, read a Pearl Jam Story and get in to some of your emails. We’re available on most podcast platforms, including Apple Podcasts, Google Play, etc., and Youtube.
Thanks again for reading my PJ Story at the top of the show this week. Soldier Field 95, what a crazy show. My first memory of that show was hearing the "Let My Love Open The Door" cover and just marveling at how great it was. I like that they take a few risks with some of the covers they do. You're also right about that Rockin' in the Free World from the VMA's feeling a bit slowed down, especially in comparison to some of the versions PJ has played but there is something magical about that version with Neil on stage in front of a VMA type crowd just soloing and rocking out that was perfect. Keep up the good work fellas.

@Brad Lyons: Maybe I missed it on one of your podcasts but what bands did you play in/for - or are you a solo artist? Not to sound creepy (seriously) but I looked you up (googled your name) and stumbled upon an album called "Ten Steps." Is that yours?

Love Soldier Field. Three takeaways from the podcast:
1. "It's Okay" is the most epic tag of not only Daughter but maybe of any song.
2. Let My Love Open The Door is their greatest cover- hope they bring it back this summer.
3. Brad B should have kept on with the podcast while Brad L went to take a piss. It would have been awkwardly funny.
1. 100% agree. 2. I want to agree but I’d have to think about that one. There’s a lot of great covers by them. 3. Wish I had thought of that. Next time!
