PRAMG Top 10

[ABNorman]

The fact that S/T is now finally beginning its reassessment and people are discovering it's actually a solid record that they like is what complicates this. We only use PRAMG pejoratively. But when that phrase first came into existence it was clearly intended to include S/T.

There's definitely an element of this.

[B]

I've tried and failed twice now to make this list. Either I don't love these songs much, or I'm too embarrassed to admit the ones I like.

Anyhow, I want a 10 Billion Years official release.

[WaitingForBluey]

I've made my top choices into a playlist:

1. Gonna See My Friend
2. Got Some
3. My Father's Son
4. Johnny Guitar
5. Life Wasted
6. Infallible
7. Unemployable
8. Swallowed Whole
9. Parachutes
10. Army Reserve
11. Yellow Moon
12. Amongst the Waves
13. Cold Confession

But there's no surf song on Riot Act.

2. Marker
3. Unemployable
4. 10 Billion Years
5. Parachutes
6. Big Wave
7. Ole
8. Yellow Moon
9. Just Breathe
10. Severed Hand

Wikipedia:

In June 2003, Pearl Jam announced it was officially leaving Epic Records following the end of its contract with the label. The band stated it had "no interest" in signing with another label. The band's first release without a label was the single for "Man of the Hour", in partnership with Amazon.com.

Note:

http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/2 ... ogram-Sell

SEATTLE (BUSINESS WIRE) Dec. 17, 2003

"Amazon.com (Nasdaq:AMZN) and Pearl Jam today announced the band's enrollment in Amazon.com's Advantage for Music program. The arrangement enables Pearl Jam to sell their new CD single, "Man of the Hour," directly to Amazon.com's millions of customers worldwide."

I think, MOTH is the milestone of PRAMG

[hlniv]

Yeah, hard to argue that a song released after Riot Act, and written for a movie released in partnership with Amazon should not be included in the PRAMG category.
