    1. Binaural
    Best sessions. album has the best atmosphere and mood. Great tunes that always make a setlist special when played live. Always get the most excited when I'm about to play the vinyl of this one. :D

    2. Riot Act
    Also love the mood on this album. Love the production and wide variety of songs. Reminds me of "Down On The upside" with its long tracklist and multi-genre songs. Album is great on vinyl, When you have a break after Thumbing My Way.

    3. Yield.
    Love the whole feel of this album. This album soars like no other PJ album. The boys really were inspired. I think the middle of this album isnt as strong as the start and finish which drops the album to 3rd on my list

    4 No Code
    Some of these songs sound really inspired and make up the top 10 PJ songs of all time. I think it needed one more great tune to make it my favourite. The album sorta trails off at the end. Leaving you lost after present tense. I'm open is enjoyable. But doesnt have any effect when placed after mankind. Some days I like this better than Yield, some days not...

    5. Vitalogy
    Great record. would like to place it higher on the list. All great songs, Enjoy the experiments throughout too. Just not as much replay value as the others due to less tunes and variety.

    6. VS.
    This albums has a great collection of songs. Doesnt quite stand up to the feel or mood of the albums that come after it. I love hearing these songs in a live setlist. not so much feel the need to spin the record...

    7 Ten.
    Not much needs to be said about ten. its obviously a classic album from start to finish, although it doesnt feel personal enough to me to rank higher than the other albums. It might be in my head, but thats why I like riot act and binaural so much more.

    8. Avocado
    Production and theme ruin this album for me. Its too loud. even come back. too loud. songs never finish properly (big wave, army reserve, unemployable) I do enjoy listening to this album because its pearl jam. I can see why once the album was finished they couldnt name it or give it an album cover though. Theres not really a theme or mood.
    COMATOSE = BLAH.

    1. Ten (11 out of 10 -I guess I believe people when they don't put Ten first, but I think they wrongly talk themselves out of it... just accept it... it takes the top slot... not by too much though)

    2.Vs, Vitalogy, No Code (all 10 to 11 out of 10 - These four albums round out PJs perfection in my opinion... all 4 masterpieces to me)

    3.Yield (9.5 to 10 out of 10 -I think Yield is a beautiful album... almost as good as the above, but not quite)

    4.Binaural (9 out of 10)

    5.Riot Act (8.5 out of 10 - Very good album... almost as good as Binaural... I almost had them in a tie, but I've better memories of Binaural)

    6. Avocado (8 out of 10 -Good album, I like the bands aggressiveness...but too wordy... maybe some Brendan O'brien is needed.. I think the next album will change the chronological trend of my list)

    If the rest of Backspacer is as good as Got Some then that could be up there with Yield.

    1. Ten (classic, not a single bad song)
    2. Vitalogy (classic, like the way it sounds: very raw production, killer songs like "Whipping" and "Corduroy")
    3. Yield (collection of really great tunes, killer vocal melodies & guitar riffs)
    4. Vs. (rough and excellent follower to Ten, good rockers & nice melodies on slower songs)
    5. No Code (lazy, not so good songs, packagin is great thou)
    6. Binaural (saw PJ 1st time on this album's tour, some good songs, best of Cameron era)
    7. Riot Act (lacks something, but still some classic songs like "I am mine" and "Get Right")
    8. S/T (first three are great, but can't beat earlier similar works like "animal", "last exit" or "go")

    I hate ranking them, because when you rank them one has to finish last, and they are all great.

    1. Yield
    - Brian of J, Faithfull, Given To Fly, Wishlist, Pilate, Do The Evolution, MFC, Low Light, In Hiding

    2. V.S
    - Go, Animal, Daughter, Glorified G, Dissident, Blood, Rearviewmirror, Rats, Small Town, Leash, Indifference

    3. No Code
    - Who You Are, Smile, In My Tree, Off He Goes, Red Mosquito, Present Tense, Around The Bend

    4. Ten
    - Once, Evenflow, Alice, Black, Jeremy, Oceans, Porch, Garden, Release

    5. Vitalogy
    - Last Exit, Spin the Black Circle, Not For You, Nothingman, Corduroy, Better man, Immortality

    6. Binaural
    - Breakerfall, Evacuation, Light Years, Nothing As It Seems, Thin Air, Of The Girl, Grievance, Rival, Sleight of Hand, Soon Forget

    7. Avocado
    - Life Wasted, World Wide Suicide, Gone, Come Back, Inside Job

    8. Riot Act
    - Love Boat Captain, I am Mine, Thumbing My Way, You Are, Bushleager

    * If we counted Lost Dogs it would be the highest. (Breath - nuff said)

    * Binaural is a better record overall than Vitalogy, but the big 4 (BM, NM, Cord, Immor) give it the edge.

    * Riot act and Avocado are at the bottom, but Inside Job, Come Back, I am Mine, and Love Boat Captain are in my list of Top Ten Pearl Jam songs.
