S/T, Backspacer, Lightning Bolt & Gigaton - rank the songs

[Anders]

Don't you guys have a tracker or a website or something that does this shit for you?

Just in case anybody wants to do some RANKING, I've uploaded my old ranker here:

this thread pisses me off so much. Why these four?

Because they're the PRAMG albums

That doesn't make them the same in quality

[Ms Harmless]

Gigaton is a post-PRAMG album

That’s what ranking them will show or not. It’s the last four albums.

S/T seems to be beating Gigaton recently, an upset?

[Anders]

Gigaton is a post-PRAMG album

This is the independent era of Pearl Jam. S/T through Gigaton and onwards.

[RockPusher]

Gigaton is a post-PRAMG album

Thank you.

Given the limitations of the ranker, this still shakes out fairly accurately. My enjoyment of the songs starts tapering somewhere after The Fixer.

Gigaton: 400 (Average: 33.3)
Lightning Bolt: 287 (Average: 23.9)
Avocado: 287 (Average: 22.1)
Backspacer: 202 (Average: 18.4)

[Ms Harmless]

I just did this, then accidentally navigated away from the page and lost it, so that's great

needless to say, everything Gigaton was at the top

[Anders]

One more try?

At some point, I'll add history to it so it can be navigated back to. Extremely niche Pearl Jam fansites quite low on my priority list right now.
