I agree we all can show TEN a whole lot more love. If this album wouldn't have shook the air waves and took the world by storm then Yield may have never been. I rate every song on Ten 5 stars. I can't say that about any of the other albums. PJ has seemed to include tracks that are so forgettable and brings the momentum to a complete halt.(untitled, red dot, bugs, pry to)
Ten is a non stop soul releasing thrill ride. Alive rocks a crowd like no other song I have ever heard.
great point....
every song on TEN is KICK ASS!!!!!!!
Take me piece by piece..... Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
I love Ten but I wouldn't call it the Greatest ever. I got really pissed the other day when after hearing Jeremy on the radio the DJ said, "That's Pearl Jam from the good album." As if none of the others are good.
edit: bumped in recognition of it cleaning up in the ultimate album thread.
I know there are different kinds of Pearl Jam fans out there, and I know that one class of fan is the old school Ten lover fan.
I stand before you proudly as one of those fans. To me, Ten is not just the greatest Pearl Jam album, but the greatest rock album of all time. why?
No matter how much I love a new album from PJ or another band, if i play it enough I will get sick of it. But this is not the case with Ten. I must have played through Ten literally thousands of times, and I'm still not tired of it. I've put Alive on replay for days and I CANT GET SICK OF HEARING IT. And MY GOD how can you not hear Eddie's ferocious wail on Porch and not be in total awe. Once is the perfect opener and Release is the perfect closer, and Black is the saddest song ever written by man. I even love the weird ghosty sounding Even Flow. It kicks ass!
Eddie's voice on Ten is what angels must sound like. Angels of an angry God. His sound is what I feel when i'm heartbroken, angry, depressed, or even happy. Some dont like it, and i can accept that. its weird and kinda scary, but nothing sounds better to my ears.
I love that, 15 years later, I can walk into any bar with a juke box and within 30 minutes a Ten song will be played. And if its not I'll play it my damn self.
Sure, I love their other albums (No Code being a close second), and all bring something different to the table, but nothing beats the instant classic that was Ten. Its shear classic rock in all its glory.

I recently forgot my ten disc at a friends. I talked with him on the phone yesterday and he told me that he has no intention of ever returning it! WFT!? He said his girlfriend had been playing it non stop and he was starting to catch on. Fucker!
Anyway, come to think of it, I think I have worn out, lost, broken and given away probably between 20-30 copies of ten. Some has also been stolen. Every time I buy a new one! Funny to think that I have probably spent around 300 dollars on that album. Christ!
You do not like Save You, Ghost, Bushleaguer, I Am Mine, or Green Disease?
i like Green Disease, Can't Keep, and Half Full. which is three more than i liked when the album first came out. so at this rate, i should like most of the album by 2067.
Yep Ten is my fav PJ album and album of all time, first heard it on the French exchage when I was 14, along with Nirvana, STP, Mother Love Bone, TOTD, The Black Crowes, fell in love with all that music and met my best friends for life. Then I remember hearing Alive at all the record fairs, great days, memorable times.

Ten has been my fav album of all time after I realized there is no such record that can be listenned to more than a thousand times.
this is the only cd I have bought 4 times!!!
The first two was executed by me and my friends by having listenned to them a zillion times since 1992...the third copy was stolen and the fourth is my most precious cd, LOL!
I guess I am a hardcore fan and Ten is the most appreciated music ever produced.
I truly love all their albums (even Binaural and Riot Act as well) - Vs. and Vitalogy close seconds, however No Code is my least fav PJ record

I pledge to you a government that will not only work well, but wisely, its ability to act tempered by prudence, and its willingness to do good, balanced by the knowledge that government is never more dangerous than when our desire to have it help us blinds us to its great power to harm us.

When i first discovered PJ a few years ago i was hooked, they are my favorite band. Ten was my favorite album for a couple of years nothing could touch it. I love all the other PJ albums but i never tire of hearing any song on that album. I have not listened to PJ as much in the last year as i've been listening to other bands but i can honestly still say Ten is my all time favorite album and i doubt that will ever change.
That album will never mean as much to the fans that we'ren't around during the time period. For those of us that were between the ages of 17-23 (give or take), that album means more to us than those that weren't will ever know.

every song on TEN is KICK ASS!!!!!!!
Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
couldn't agree more. there is no break in its intensity.

I 100% agree. Thank you Agent Smith's wife.
