Pearl Jam

I seem to be in the vast, vast minority on this one but Vs. is definitely my favorite PJ album. The worst? Riot Act by a large magin. Binaural was underappreciated.

 

I rank em:

Yield
Vitalogy
No Code
Riot Act
Ten
Vs.
Binaural

hearin' em live, however, it goes:
Vitalogy
Ten
Vs.
Binaural
Yield
Riot Act
No Code

 

Of course, the top 6 albums could change order on any given day.

 

I think Yield is the best rock cd in the last 15 years. Since soundgarden, anyway.

 

No Code is a fabulous album. almost inclined to listen to it more, but yield from start to finish more of just that great rock record. the only anthem on Yield IMO is GIven to Fly which is more of a ripoff of Zeppelin than anything. I guess I can hear Who in it. Eddie does love to blow Petey boy.

I almost think Vitalogy has better overall 'anthems' than Yield or at least more famous ones with Corduroy and Better Man.

Fuck it, it's all in the interpretation. We're both right.

 

Vitalogy
Vs.
Ten
Yield
No Code
Binaural
Riot Act

 

You knock the Foo? They're 4x the band of Nirvana.

 

my rankings and i like them all:

vitalogy

yield

no code

ten

vs

binaural

riot act

A lot of people forget about songs like satan's bed, whipping, last exit when discussing vitalogy

 

Binaural
Vitalogy
Ten
Yield
No Code
Vs.
Riot Act

 

No offense, but are you on crack?
The Foo Fighters are fine, but they're Wings and Nirvana were The Beatles.

 

Man, ranking PJ albums. I don't know if I can do it. There's so much I like from each album. There's not a bad one in the bunch, in my opinion. Just levels of goodness.

But I can give it a try

1) Ten, which in my heart I know isn't the best but I used to play this all the fucking time in high school and college, so it's gotta be No. 1.
2) Yield
3) Vitalogy
4) Vs.
5) No Code
6) Binaural
7) Riot Act

 

Oh, and being stuck here in Oklahoma where there isn't a concert announced near me yet, I have one thing to say to all of you buying up tickets. I hate you all. Completely.
