Let's make the Ultimate PJ Album: TRACK 1

[liebzz]

Fun concept. I missed the first few pages. I guess Lost Dogs won’t count. Once you get past day track 12 and there’s not much left, does a second song then come from an album? Does this de facto eliminate all tracks 13-15?

I just went back and looked at what we did last time. We did 1-11 and then a final 12th round that put together all tracks numbered 12 and above, even from albums that were already off the table. I think that sounds good.

But since they have 12 albums now, we're doing 1-12 followed by the free-for-all finale

Very nice of you. You could have clapped back and yelled “You’re out of your element, Donnie!”

Looks like Can’t Keep is a foregone conclusion. I think that’s a mistake. The 6 spot is weak and I Am Mine would have been solid. For me, Infallible is the next best choice there. 1 should have been Last Exit because the 4 and 8 slots are too heavily contested.

I think Stevie easily takes the 7 spot, Grievance the 9, and Force of Nature the 10.

You know what, lemme just try.

1 Last Exit (Vitalogy)
2 Animal (Vs)
3 Who You Are (No Code)
4 Given to Fly (Yield)
5 Black (Ten)
6 I Am Mine (Riot Act)
7 Stevie (DM)
8 Take the Long Way (Gigaton)
9 Grievance (Binaural)
10 Force of Nature (Backspacer)
11 Army Reserve (Avocado)
12 Future Days (LB)
13 Immortality (Duh)

Or all that but

9 Let the Records Play (LB)
11 Sleight of Hand (Binaural)
12 Come Back (Avocado)
Yeah, I think I like this much better.

pearl jam sucks now

[Ello Sailor]

So is Animal! You backed that choice earlier in the thread!

[Ello Sailor]

But that's a great list, and I think that DT takes the throne as chief strategist.

[Ello Sailor]

Who You Are is such a banger.

Jeremy, Thin Air, Parachutes are all great choices

The answer is:

1. Can’t Keep
2.Animal
3. Dance of the Clairvoyants
4. Severed Hand
5. Nothing As It Seems
6. Infallible
7. Do the Evolution
8. Porch
9. Speed of Sound
10. Present Tense
11. Setting Sun
12. Immortality
13. Parting Ways

Edit: I messed this up, too bad. I’ll have to rely on this group to get the tracks right.

I had to start with my non-negotiables: Given to Fly, Black, and Immortality so 4, 5, and the closer were all immediately decided. The 8 spot was the key domino for me. Once I got past the idea of RVM or Corduroy, the rest went quickly. The one obvious thing I’m sure we all notice is how weak the tracks from the last 20 years feel in comparison to early PJ.

Scared of Fear
Animal
DOTC
Johnny Guitar
Ghost
Parachutes
Habit
You Are
Let the Records Play
Rival
Release
Push Me Pull Me
Immortality

Ghost in the 5 spot is wild. Black, Dissident, Nothingman, Smile, Wishlist, Nothing As It Seems, Marker in the Sand, Just Breathe, Lightning Bolt, Alright, Won’t Tell.
I would say Lightning Bolt is the only song I’d rank under it. It’d be way under it, but Ghost is the only other song in this spot I don’t like. Love your choice of You Are tho.
