Rank the albums (now that the Avocado has finally settled)

I wanted to give their new album enough time for the newness to wear off before I asked everyone to rank the albums again. So, just rank the eight albums and I'll tally the results in a few days. Thanks guys! Oh yeah, if you are one of those obnoxious types that will, for example, list Yield in all eight positions, please don't bother.

For me:
1. Vitalogy
2. Vs
3. No Code
4. Riot Act
5. Yield
6. Avocado
7. Ten*
8. Binaural

*I love ten, and it undoubtedly has some of their best songs, but I can't stand the production values. It's the only album that sounds dated. I really wish they would give the entire album the treatment they did for Alive, Once, and Black on the Greatest Hits.

    The last time i did this avacado was #2 and No Code as low as 5. Been listening to No Code a fair bit and forgot what a masterpiece it is really is. Has grown on me the most. Yield is great but there is an awful amount of hype about it. Agree with production of Ten , but it s greatness hard to ignore. Vitalogy always been my fave though and it gets my nod as thier best. Binaural slips ahead of riot act because of how it sounds with headphones! I think some of the things on Lost Dogs could have been compiled to make a stronger album than Riot Act. Maybe Riot Act and Binaural which have similar themes could be fused together to make a great album.

    1) Vitalogy
    2) No Code
    3) Avacado
    4) Yield
    5) Vs
    6) Ten
    7) Binaural
    8) Riot Act

    i was actually thinking about this on my own the other day:

    1. No Code
    2. Ten
    3. Yield
    4. VS
    5. Vitology
    6. Pearl Jam
    7. Binaural
    8. Riot Act

    Pearl Jam and Vitology are close i could maybe see them switching spots on occasion. Just as Ten and No Code sometimes might switch for me.

    4. No Code - **** 1/2
    5. Yield - ****
    6. Avocado (Pearl Jam) - ****
    7. Binaural - *** 1/2
    8. Riot Act - *** 1/2

    I'm torn between Yield or Avocado for #5 spot, but i'll give it to Yield today.

    Binaural would have been #5 had they made different choices with the tracklisting (ie. included Sad, Fatal and Education....dropping God's Dice, Rival and Evacuation).

    ahah... I forgot about ten. I had to look at the list below :D

    But really, the point is I love them all equally. With binaural and riot act perhaps a little below the others.
    ... and the will to show I will always be better than before.

    I've always had trouble with this, so I've devised a simple system in order to rank the albums. Basically, it goes like this. If I HAD TO remove one album from my ipod, and remove all of that album's songs fronm the live setlists which one would it be...

    For me, the first one to go would have to be:

    9.Binaural.

    Now, from the remaining albums, which one would I remove if I HAD TO...

    8.Riot Act

    And on and on...

    7.No code

    6.Avocado

    5.Vitalogy

    4.Lost Dogs

    3.Yield

    2.Vs

    1.Ten


    My feeling is this, There's absolutely NO WAY I could NEVER hear Ten again, or Vs. for that matter. So they are actually separate in my book. Could you imagine a setlist with nothing from Ten?? or Vs?? I know I couldn't
