1. Riot Act
2. Binaural
3. Avocado
4. Gigaton
5. Backspacer
6. Lightning Bolt

Wanted to put Backspacer higher to troll, but couldn’t. Would take any show with Unthought, Force of Nature, and Got Some. Lightning Bolt doesn’t do it for me. Getaway and Pendulum might be the only songs I go back to since MYM is still in rotation live.

Edit: Lost Dogs doesn’t count

    1. Pearl Jam
    2. Binaural
    3. Gigaton

    These three rotate around, but I'm on a S/T kick at the moment.

    4. Riot Act
    5. Lightning Bolt

    Some real high points on these, individual songs that I love live, but as full albums, I rarely listen to them start to finish.

    6. Backspacer

    Outside of Ed's own songs, the lyrics on most others just don't do it for me. I am a huge fan of the Space Drummer t-shirt though!

    TBH, LB and BS are about the same for me. ( tho, theres one killer classic album between the two of them). But BS has more songs I don't like than LB, so LB is on top.

    "And the young, they can lose hope
    'Cause they can't see beyond today
    The wisdom that the old can't give away, hey
    Constant recoil
    Sometimes life don't leave you alone."

    Avocado is my clear #1. The other five could rank 2-6 depending on the day.

    I love Avacado, my favourite post Yield album.   I could probably interchange Gigaton and Lightning Bolt at the bottom...

    Didn't know there was so much hate for Backspacer. My top 3 are almost all interchangeable. Only obvious ones to me were Gigaton and LB being the bottom 2, and BS being in the middle.
