Where do the albums rank?

So after listening to some studio albums recently which I hadn't done for a while, in particular Riot act which I really like beginning to end, I got to thinking about which albums I liked best as far as the studio versions go for each song. Although the list is constantly changing, when I tried to rank them this is what I came up with.

1. Vs
2. Ten
3. Riot Act
4. Vitalogy
5. No Code
6. Binaural
7. Yield
8. Avocado
9. Backspacer

    I'll jump on this too, but very difficult.

    1. No Code
    2. Backspacer
    3. Yield
    4. Avocado
    5. Vitalogy
    6. Binaural
    7. Ten
    8. Vs.
    9. Riot Act

    The last one, is the only guaranteed spot on the list. Wow, that is difficult. I really can't order them. I love them all for different reasons.

    This was very difficult, but simply my opinion today, but the top four probably never change order, there was just such a youthful angst thing going on with them that I still get excited / feel to this day. I will probably never grow up!

    I would go like this:

    1. VS
    2. Yield
    3. Binaural
    4. No Code
    5. Ten
    6. Backspacer
    7. Avacado
    8. Vitalogy
    9. Riot Act

    Ten is tough to judge because if I were planning on listening to listed to one CD right now, it would be lower. But I can't ignore the historical meaning it has by putting it in the bottom half.

    I know what you mean, I had a tough time ranking Ten, I rarely listen to it anymore as a whole album. It was however one of my favorite CDs for years. It is almost impossible to set a hard rank to the albums though because my opinion is always changing.

    I can't rank them - it changes all the time depending on my mood. Binaural is always #9 for me though - agree with you about the production.
