    ^ I almost agree with that ranking up there. Binaural should be a little farther up.
    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.

    i think that you all don't see the difference between the best album and your personal favourite album
    in both cases i think is Ten

    There is just something about Yield that makes it stand out. Ive been listening to it for numerous years and i still haven't figured it out. Its got a raw edge but it is also incredibly clean sounded and it just really kicks ass.

    The best album ever isn't Yield, nor is it any Pearl Jam album.

    Yield and No Code are the only two studio albums I listen to on a regular basis (w/ Yield being my favorite of the two). However, I would give the nod to Ten.

    Yield ranks tied for second with Ten for me; with both behind No Code.

    While not my personal favorite, Yield is incredible. IMO, it is the most cohesive listen. My ranking of the albums would probably look like this:

    Vitalogy
    Yield
    No Code
    Pearl Jam
    Vs.
    Ten
    Binaural
    Riot Act

  • I like Yield for the fact that it contained my favorite song, Do The Evolution. No Way is fucking amazing. I have just come to like the spoken word tracks on the albums. Push Me, Pull Me is amazing.

    Do any of you ladies or gentlemen consider Push Me, Pull Me "filler"?
