March Madness 2017: Our Most Complicated RMMM Ever!

[E.H. Ruddock]

The Ten-Vitalogy bracket really reminds me of how narrow I consider pearl jam's true peak years. Those first three albums are absolutely untouchable. Three of the finest rock albums of all time. Everything from No Code - Lightning Bolt ranges from good to near great, but these first three are just in a league of their own.

I just mean the specific individual songs. It seems like I agree with the General RM body more in the early years but not so much, on a song by song basis, from Yield on. I think that's fascinating.

Why do we all agree that Animal or RVM or Go are great songs (even if we would rank those three differently) yet virtually no one agrees that Infallible is a fucking great song (or even a good song, for that matter)? Just fascinating to me.

Because Infallible is not a great song and those other three are. See? It's simple.

I'm confused

life is precious

No Code-RA is better than Vitalogy

The Ten -> RA run is pretty incredible. Maybe even Ten -> S/T as the 2005 Canadian tour and 2006 world tour were pretty spectacular.

Don't go on me.

[Simple Torture]

Jeez, I missed the last two rounds of voting.

[chewm]

Im picking the loser in all of these matches. But I love those 8 songs so it's okay.

Yield and Binaural are head and shoulders above the rest of the catalog for me these days.

[epilogue]

This round is my nightmare.

Round closes in 11 minutes

[chewm]

It's my favorite and least favorite at the same time.

[stip]

it's definitely my favorite. that's why I usually drag it out like 8 months

[PHATJ]

RMMM is by far my favorite time on RM. Traffic is higher. Comments come fast and furious... It's the most wonderful time... of the year!
