It does. I don't like Leash Indifference, or Elderly Woman either. I love WMA though, and kinda like Glorified G.

yep. I've always kind of liked Dissident as well. The only thing on Vs that I've grown completely tired of is Leash.

I will say this for "Vs.": It's the one album that, over the years, has felt most revitalizing to its own material after bootleg fatigue. "Daughter," "RVM," and "Elderly Woman" especially -- these are songs that, in recent years, have been tossed off live without much of a second thought, and going back to the original versions is like hearing all new songs. I've never had that experience with "Ten." Brendan did a great job on "Vs.," capturing a sound that feels lean and raw but is actually pretty deep and nuanced. My biggest issue with the album is that it has a handful of songs that just don't do it for me anymore, and when doling out points, that ratio is hard to ignore.

Ten is our 5th ranked album, with a mean score of 11.4 points.

Mean: 11.4
Median: 11
Mode: 10

Ten was ranked between 1st and 8th.

It received only a single 1st place vote, which means it has the fewest 1st place votes of any of our top 6 albums, but on the other hand it did receive 7 2nd place votes, tied for the most of any album.

The rankings are somewhat evenly distributed between 2nd and 7th.

It was most commonly ranked 5th, by 30% of participants.

The highest score it received was 20 points, by two users.

The most common range of scores appears to be between 10 and 15 points.

It was scored in the single digits by 30% of users, but the lack of any particularly high scores (and the high number of 10 & 11 point scores) probably contribute to the score being so close to Vs.

Ten is my third favorite album of all time, and I would be perfectly happy to argue that it is the greatest american rock album ever.

He has indeed. If you add up the total number of songs I probably actually like pearl jam a bit less than the majority of this board. It's just that I like the newer albums, and the stuff that I love i REALLY love.

Automatic for the People is number 2. After that it's hard to rank.

No. Ten would be number 3. You just said it is your top 3 albums of all time.
