I'd argue that Vs. packs as good or better a 1-2 punch w/ Vitalogy than it does w/ Ten
A few other 1-2s to add to those already mentioned: Public Enemy: ITANOMTHUB ---> Fear of a Black Planet The Black Crowes: SHAMC ---> Amorica The National: High Violet ---> Trouble Will Find Me Jason Isbell: Southeastern ---> Something More Than Free Rolling Stones: pick 'em...Beggars/Let It Bleed/Sticky/Exile Radiohead: Ok Computer ---> Kid A
I've never understood the love for the National as "great" albums/great music. The music is good but it never made me want to jump up and down. It's like Joy Division, great music but you aren't raving up and down to it...
They're on the melancholy side, no doubt, but there's some subtle rockers in there too. Bloodbuzz Ohio is where I hopped on their train and definitely gets the blood flowing.

I think this is an impossible choice that for me would vary based upon my mood. Other people have brought a ton of album combos I also find great, but what I do know is that I am thankful for these amazing artists and their music. Now, I am going to start spinning some of these back to back
You need to pick one immediately or else I am sending you a Kris kross tape in the mail.
Haha! If you really have a Kriss Kross tape yet that is amazing. Funny story, for our 7th grade variety show our home room decided we would lip sync to Jump, Jump. I was one of the singers and we wore hoodies and some baggy pants while we had dancers in the background "jumping". Good times.

Of the options listed, Pearl Jam stands at the top for me. The Beatles would be a clear second. Throw in some of the other combos mentioned and I'd have a hard time deciding, but I definitely have listened to the Pearl Jam combo the most. Metallica or Soundgarden would probably be 2nd for me with a few of their combos.

Did you wear those baggy pants backward?
You know, we may have now that you mention it. I had completely forgot about that part. You've awakened memories of a life I soon forgot.

damn, I didn't even know there was an album between the two. guess it is pretty obvious that there had to be some "transition" between those two albums.

It's been disappeared and folded into other releases. I think you can stream it or listen to it on YouTube. I found it at a record shop in Winter Park, Florida, a few years ago.
It's not terrible; it's just a bit of a stinker by Beefheart standards.
Sorry, McG, I've chimed in here previously yet realized I hadn't voted. I went with The Beatles, Rubber Soul/ Revolver. If No Code/ Yield had been an option, I'd have gone with Pearl Jam.
