Has anyone else tried rankings the songs in one big list? Took some time yesterday, and I was not pleased the first time (think I ranked wrong twice, and as an example Given To Fly ended in the bottom half), but was pleased when the list was done, and I got the result above. It felt very different than simply rating the songs with stars.

For me, I tend to go...

1) Yield
2) Vitalogy
3) Binaural
4) No Code
5) Vs
6) Ten
7) Riot Act
8) Gigaton
9) Pearl Jam
10) Backspacer
11) Lightning Bolt

Gigaton has passed the bottom two for sure, and I put it past S/T as well. Riot Act is tough for me, because I hated it when it came out, but I was a dumb high schooler. It's really clicked with me over the last 5 years, so it's hard to put Gigaton above it. Still, very happy with Gigaton and I was really just hopeful to get an album above the last three.

Fuck it! Here we go:

1. Yield
2. Binaural
3. Vs.
4. Vitalogy
5. No Code
6. Ten
7. Riot Act
8. Gigaton
9. Avocado
10. Getting Hit By a Bus
11. Backspacer
12. Lightning Bolt

Getting Hit By A Bus is a grower. Give it time.

Updated so as to file things:
1. No Code
2. Vitalogy
3. Gigaton
4. Yield
5. Vs
6. S/T

8. Binaural

Don't know where to put Ten. Sort of wish they kept incorporating the hard rock funk aspect of Ten into their sound because it's when they seem least derivative (though I realize there are influences there). But even Vs. sounds like it's from a totally different band than the one who made Ten.

Gigaton and Yield are so similar in style and quality.

It’s strange but I really get this.

The two records feel closest in spirit out of their catalogue.

I might agree with this.

Loving the Binaural placement It's an album I've come to really appreciate over the last few years.

i have no idea what my ranking is anymore, but by tiers it would be:

yield/binaural/vitlogy/no code

vs/riot act/pearl jam/ten/gigaton

backspacer/lightning bolt

There’s a united feel to this album. They’re working for the songs. They’re best with that togetherness.

I've been watching SVT today and I agree

I can listen to every Pearl Jam album happily all the way through, never skip a track, I enjoy them all. There is not a "bad" album in the catalog.

Good attitude!
