No. Chud would have Vitalogy number 1, right?

Chud and I have been Yield Bros for as long as I can remember. It would make me sad to lose him.

the waiting drove me mad

While we're waiting, I wanted to let you know I listened to "Garage Days Re-Revisited" last night.

Excellent. So did I. I wonder if we hit play at the same time?

Oh, I hope so. 'Bout 11pm CST here.

No, I was listening earlier. But I bet we played the same style of air drums.

I should have given Vs. 100.

It deserves it if only because it has "Go" on it.

Yield and Binaural are both quite a bit better than No Code.

This is the highest I've ever ranked Binaural, and its happened for a number of reasons. It is currently the album I'm playing most and finding most interesting. I was one that had a really hard time warming up to this album in totality. I also used to bemoan the absence of gems like Sad, In The Moonlight, and Education. I still think these songs could have fit into the album, but as I've come to appreciate Binaural for what it is (instead of disliking it for what it isn't) I've found a great admiration for what is there.

Sleight of Hand is the single best song PJ has ever written. Nothing As It Seems is wonderful. I love Breakerfall, Of The Girl, and Rival. Evacuation and God's Dice used to be two of my most hated PJ songs. I have come full circle on Evacuation and I truly enjoy it now. God's Dice is pretty rad too. Then there is Insignificance, Grievance, and Parting Ways. All very strong songs. Thin Air is forgettable, but when I do listen to it I don't hate it at all. Light Years has never been a favorite of mine. I find it pretty boring, but it isn't terrible, and I occasionally almost think I could like it. (I really wish Sad was in its place.) Soon Forget is a stupid song and should never have been on any album, but I can't complain too much about one pure piece of shit making the track list. (Education should've been in this spot.)

There's a lot of apologies there for your number 2 seed

One song that I seriously don't like (Soon Forget) and one I find pretty boring (Light Years) is a lot of apologies?

well, thin air, too.

Binaural, No Code, and Riot Act deserved more points then I gave them. I just couldn't find anywhere else to take them from.

Yield and Binaural are both quite a bit better than No Code.

It's true.

Maybe it is. But No Code is the only Pearl Jam album I still listen to more than once a year. Yield has songs I don't care about (Brain of J, Given to Fly, In Hiding), and Binaural has Brendan's mud in there trying to falsely muscle up the songs.

Yield was my number 2. My number 1 is up next, I presume. Followed by my number 3.

To me No Code is a bit below those others simply because of I'm Open and how it affects the way the album ends.
