    Yield, not by a lot though. They're all brilliant.

    Vitalogy has gone from my least favourite to temporary favourite.

    Way back when I couldn't get over stupid mop, aye davanita, and for some reason Tremor Christ drove me mad. Now, it's ALL good.

    Avacodo here

    I think that might be their worst, it's certainly down there with Riot Act. Feels forced too me, not one "classic" song, and it felt like Pearl Jam trying to sound like Pearl Jam. Army Reserve & Worldwide Suicide were ok - Come Back & Inside Job is the tackiest ending to a PJ album ever.

    However just my opinion - My fave album, tough call probably No Code closely followed by Vitalogy & Vs

    This is such a hard question to answer. No Code and Yield are always kinda tied for my favorite. I can't really say I like one of those two better over the other. They are both masterpieces. Ten is classic, as is Vs. I love Avocado, Backspacer, Binaural and Vitalogy. It really depends on the mood I am in. For instance if I am about to work out or something I throw on Vitalogy and Vs, since they are intense albums. But what I must mention is that Riot Act doesn't get much love IMO, and to me; it is a fantastic album! I hadn't played it in a while and recently was re-listening to it and it's just great; but then again; that's why this is the greatest band in the world because I really can't say that there is ONE Pearl Jam song I don't like. They are brilliant song writers and I would kill to have one tenth of the song writing skills that they have.

    Peace

    Good to see some Vs love coming out. I'm gonna go with Vs! Although I think all of the 90s albums are right up there with the best of them. As I've said here several times before - Pearl Jam completely dominate that decade in terms of sheer quality of musical output
