    it's a tie between You Are and 1/2 Full. Cropduster, Green Disease and Help Help are not far back either.

  • Great album, maybe their best, saying HI, new here, but certainly not new to PJ.
  • all album is great but,Save You and LBC makes me chills Save You as a beautifull lyric that makes me remind how important friends are...."i´m gonna save you fucker,i´m not gonna lose you.."
    Peace,Love

    So hard to choose. I LOVE riot act. I guess I will go with Save You, LBC, and 1/2 full. But i do love it all.

    My personal favorite is Get Right, but honestly, Save You is a better song all around. Save You gets my vote.
    Stay positive and love your life

  • i guess it would be "all or none".
    i like the way they put a great song at the end of the cd (all those yesterdays - i don't count humus; indifference, parting ways etc.).
    i'm kinda more fond of their "ballads", or the slow songs, they just fit good with everything. my girl and i are both pj fans, so... i like them even more ;):) :*
  • my favs.... i am mine, 1/2 full, and ghost

    GET RIGHT in the studio

    and

    GET RIGHT live (choose any version you like)
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green
  • Thumbing my way...it is so beautiful.

  • #1 has to be can't keep!
  • If I had to pick one, LBC.

    Can't Keep & Thumbing My Way are also personal favorites, but I like the Benaroya versions a lot too. I have to go to Riot Act to get my fill of LBC.

  • sorry but it has to be "I Am Mine" you listen to that song and the message hits you so hard it nearly knocks you over. Then you get up and realise the music is embedding itself in you listen to it once and you never forget it
    having said that the same can be said for most pj songs

    I'll vote for Bu$hleaguer purely 'cause it's well under-represented, considering what an absolute belter of an album it is. For pure rockin' out though, you can't beat Save You or Green Disease. Like we've all said, it's pure class. Definitely up there with No Code as my favourite PJ album. It's all in the pudding.

    Album Ranking: Vs,Ten,Yield,Vitalogy,Avocado,Riot Act,No Code,Binaural,Lightning Bold,BackSpacer.
  • This is a hard one, I love I am Mine Thumbing my way and Love Boat Captain. My favorite though, Thumbing My Way by a slim margin.

    why You Are isn't widely hailed as one of the best songs they ever wrote is totally beyond me. it's nothing short of breathtaking
    if you love somebody, set them free. if somebody loves you, don't fuck up
  • You Are by a mile.

    Haven't really got into the rest of the album yet. Track for track Binaural destroys it. Give me nine years until I'm 40 years old, then I might like it more :p
  • You are - just love it!
    Thumbing my way
    LBC
    and of course - Bushleaguer - what a brilliant song!
    Yes, finally;
