Three and a half years later, I think this is still pretty close.

Who Ever Said has probably grown on me enough to push out Speed of Sound.

I would give the band a lot of credit if they released a Lost Dogs 2 but called it PRAMG without a single explanation of what that means.

According to the PJ Ranker:

Dance of the Clairvoyants
Severed Hand
Quick Escape
Pendulum
Seven O’Clock
Inside Job
Retrograde
Life Wasted
Of the Earth
Dark Matter

Weirdly don’t know if I would agree with this list.

Did the ranker without any filters just to see in comparison:

Insignificance
Nothing As It Seems
Immortality
Release
Porch
Present Tense
Red Mosquito
Do the Evolution
Rearviewmirror

First half of Big Wave is totally meh and thus very low in my Pearl Jam rankings. Second half is totally awesomesauce. Why do they have to have songs like this?

First PJ song I can recall being actively embarrassed by.
We still make records to be listened to — not that everyone will listen to a record track one to twelve in a row or side A or Side B — but we still make 'em in case somebody does want to listen to it like that, that's how we make em…

On initial consideration, which S/T, Backspacer, LB, or Gigaton songs would even compete with most of DM?

My possible selections-

Life Wasted
Comatose
Marker in the Sand
Army Reserve
The Fixer
Speed of Sound
Unthought Known
Force of Nature
The End
Mind Your Manners
Pendulum
Who Ever Said
DOTC
Superblood Wolfmoon
Alright
Retrograde

I think I'd put every one of the DM songs except Running and Something Special above every single other PRAMG song. And probably only 4 or 5 of the ones I listed could compete with any of the top 5 on DM.

I think Wreckage and Upper Hand would definitely make it into a top 10, possibly React/Respond. Off the top of the head, no order (DOTC would be #1, it gets murky afterward)...

Life Wasted
Parachutes
Unemployable
Who Ever Said
Dance of the Clairvoyants
Quick Escape
Seven O’Clock
Upper Hand
Wreckage

and Comes and Goes/React, Respond are neck and neck for the last spot.
