When in a certain mood, I can get behind this too.

(That's not to say it isn't a very good album with some of the band's best songs.)
I like Yield, too, but it's probably at the bottom of my list of the 1993-2003 run. About half of it is amazing. The other half, pretty good to good.

Honest question: is saying Yield is their best record an unpopular opinion? That's one I hold, and I feel like most may reach for Vitalogy (or maybe No Code).

I think a lot of people rate it very highly. There is definitely a contingent of folks out there who rate it #1.

Inside Job is one of the best songs on the self titled album

Never understood the hate for that one. Come Back, either, for that matter.

Love. Reign O'er Me is one of the band's best recordings from the last decade, and the Vh1 Rock Honors performance with The Real Me is one of their greatest performances.

Yeah, I'd put in number 1. Although, truth be told, every album from Vitalogy to Binaural has occupied that spot at some point. They were just on a tear.

I'd put that tear from Vs. to Riot Act. It's a hell of a run album for album, song for song.

From 1991-1194 Pearl Jam was the best band of all time
