I think of Soldier Field & Berlin as "essential."

I agree. My litmus test, which is mildly arbitrary, is based on a case by case level of official release. For Pearl Jam, that meant Vault, Ape/Man designation for 2000 tour, official release for ‘03 tour, and then after that official release. I probably have most of them, but not all.

If I were listing in theory, and in the midst of this Pearl Jam 2000 tour run, it would look something like:

No Code
Vitalogy
Binaural
Yield
Vs.
Gigaton
Ten
Avocado
Riot Act
Backspacer
Lightning Bolt

I will revisit this after the 03 tour run I will have and the 06 run.

Any list that doesn't start with LOST DOGS is incorrect.
It spans the best years of their career, is a double album, has two of their top 5 most widely known songs, and had an album's worth of previously unreleased material.

1. LOST DOGS

2. Yield
3. Vs.
4. Binaural
5. No Code
6. Vitalogy

7. Ten

8. Gigaton
9. Avocado

10. Lightning Bolt
11. Backspacer

Yeah, but all of the songs are tinkered with. Perhaps if LD was all OG versions I'd count it. But...

All the other albums also included songs that had all been tinkered with prior to the album's release.

Right.... but.... these were tinkered with.... after they released the songs....
1. All OG versions are not objectively better that all LD versions.
2. All tinkering done prior to LD version release, just like other albums.

My logic is impenetrable.
