I wish I could give you the full list, but from memory:escape wrote:This thread is tremendous and inspiring. I love the idea of exploring an overarching body of work in chronological order. Delving into the formative and side projects really helps build context around the main albums, as you have pointed out. And developing a ranking based on listening to it currently will be really fun to revisit and revise upon future spins of these albums. You've mentioned that you've done other threads similar to this. Doing a quick search only turned up the Doors, CCR, and a few others. Where can I find the others, specifically the Chris Cornell one? Man, greatly appreciate the effort you've put into this!
Chris Cornell (I think in the Chris Cornell thread that references his years alive), The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Stone Temple Pilots, Elvis Costello, The Band, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Marcus King Band, a different Pearl Jam one with just the studio albums from Pearl Jam alone, Radiohead, a loooong Grateful Dead one that took something like 6 months to complete, and I think a few others. They really are a new way to digest the albums. It was suggested during my most recent journey through Elvis Costello that we all rank along the way and I carried that over here. Not meant as a qualitative final word on these albums as much as a real time sense of how I am experiencing them in this context - especially because this is a band I have been a dedicated fan of for nearly 30 years. And even then, there were and are blind spots in their creative output that I have yet to explore (ie, side projects of Jack Irons, and various collaborations they have done with other artists). This ultimately is a celebration of all things Pearl Jam in the lead up to Eddie Vedder’s and Painted Shield’s new albums.
