Rolling Stones 50 Greatest Guitar Albums....

While their lists are generally worthless, its good to see the boys getting credit.
15) Ten, 1991 (Pearl Jam)
Although Pearl Jam rose from the ashes of Mother Love Bone (whose singer, Andrew Wood, overdosed on heroin), Ten didn’t explode out of the box. That would be the case with Nirvana’s major-label debut, Nevermind. Slowly, however, radio programmers in search of acceptable “grunge” to play alongside Led Zeppelin, U2 and Guns N’ Roses started spinning tracks like “Alive” and “Even Flow.” What they discovered were songs that sounded great anytime, anywhere. Between the urgent, highly distinctive timbre of Eddie Vedder’s voice and the emotionally charged guitar playing of Mike McCready and Stone Gossard, commitment poured from Pearl Jam. Music fans who viewed other grunge acts as too aloof (or just too damned weird) suddenly had new heroes.
WHAT THEY SAID Mike McCready: “Eddie’s lyrics are extremely honest. People can tap into that. They know something real is coming from that. He’s a man full of conviction. That comes in his singing and writing, and hopefully our music backs that up.”

Typo Man: "Thanks kidz, but remembir, stay in skool!"
I've seen worse lists. But why did you title the thread "Rolling Stone's Greatest Guitar Albums" when the list is from Guitar World?
On the link in the first post.
Cool to see Pearl Jam get something on there! sweet stuff.
