    I love Avocado.   I remember when it came out it was my favourite album since Yield.

    I'd go.

    Avocado
    Riot Act
    Binaural
    Backspacer.

    edit.  I change my mind.  The correct answer is Lost Dogs - the B-sides and rarities album :)

    I'm going to be honest with the fact I absolutely did not care for Binaural for many years. Then for some reason, I put it on one day and it was absolute gold to my ears. Ranking it on top here with Riot Act coming in a close second.

    I think I can count on one hand the number of times I've listened to the actual Backspacer album. Just know the songs from the bootlegs.

    With the above said, I'm surprised Backspacer is ranking so low. I'm sure I've read a few lists (maybe done by more "casual" fans) where it was near - or even in - the top 5.

    It's my 21 year old daughter's favorite PJ album.  I remember going to Target to buy it when we were on vacation.  I would have played it nonstop so it really stuck with her but it is my least favorite album.

    Ha! When I first read your comment I mistakenly thought you were referring to my pick (Binaural) and not my comment about Backspacer. It then got me doing some quick math and made me think you were playing Binaural to a new born in 2000! That’d be dedication!

    Good point! On that note, imagine if Avocado had included Cold Confession, Let It Ride, Open Door and Of The Earth! :wink:
