I think they had a better 3 album run than any combination of PJ albums
Love SG but no way is that run better than Ten > Vitalogy or Vs. > No Code or Vitalogy > Yield.

Jamily, ftw.

I dunno which run to choose though, I don't think they seem to be as cohesive as the SG run

I think Ten / Vs. / Vitalogy, Vitalogy / No Code / Yield, or Yield / Binaural / Riot Act, could be eligible three-album runs.

I think maybe the fact that bands like SG, Tool and RATM only really have 3 huge albums makes it easier for me to view them as a better run, whereas Pearl Jam having up to 9 really good albums kind of dilutes their effect somewhat

BMF is a 3.5 star album. Sorry. Agreed on the latter, though.

I could get behind this if Speakerboxx wasn't such a stinker. Its a real shame because The Love Below kicks all kinds of ass. Props for thinking outside the box.

there's not a world where ghettomusick, unhappy, bowtie, the rooster, war, church, et al are housed on a "stinker."
