1 is out of this world. 2 is pretty damn unique. 3-7 are all very solid. Yeah, I agree with this album art list. Also, does anyone know what the deal was with their horror heads pile in Avocado? Have they ever talked about that?PHATJ wrote:1. Vitalogy
2. No Code
3. Vs.
4. Gigaton
5. Yield
6. Binaural
7. Riot Act

11. Avocado
it took years of posting here before I accepted that anyone without that opinion wasn’t trolling in some wayblueviper wrote:Last weekend I had a long road trip. So I started to listen to the albums without skipping songs (except stupid mop)
I only got to In Hiding on Yield. I have to take the same road trip this weekend so I'll finish my album marathon then.
But rankings adjusted for the 1st leg of the marathon:
Ten
Vs.
Vitalogy
No Code
Yield
Riot Act
Gigaton
Lightning Bolt
Binaural
Backspacer
Pearl Jam
Hearing the first three back-to-back-to-back just solidified that they are the holy trinity. I don't think anything is going to top those three.
I don't personally share that opinion but i think its valid.Anders wrote:It’s not trolling to believe No Code through Binaural was Pearl Jam at their very best.
No. It is still crazy, but I believe it is an authentic insanityAnders wrote:It’s not trolling to believe No Code through Binaural was Pearl Jam at their very best.
Not crazy at all either.stip wrote:No. It is still crazy, but I believe it is an authentic insanityAnders wrote:It’s not trolling to believe No Code through Binaural was Pearl Jam at their very best.
It also could be a subconscious reaction to the popularity of those first three.stip wrote:No. It is still crazy, but I believe it is an authentic insanityAnders wrote:It’s not trolling to believe No Code through Binaural was Pearl Jam at their very best.
no code through binaural could be argued its more of a full band effort whereas ten-vitalogy was eddie vedder stealing the band from stone gossard. to me binaural has more of in common with riot act than no code or yield. but no code and yield are my favorite albums, and binaural isnt 3rd so it might be a personal preference thing.Anders wrote:Not crazy at all either.stip wrote:No. It is still crazy, but I believe it is an authentic insanityAnders wrote:It’s not trolling to believe No Code through Binaural was Pearl Jam at their very best.
I think Vs has 4-5 of the absolute all time greatest Pearl Jam songs ever. Like, if I was going to introduce someone to PJ for the first time, I'd play Daughter, Rearviewmirror, Elderly Woman, Indifference, even Leash is just an all-time great deep cut. But, as their career went on I felt like they one upped great rockers like Animal and Blood. Then, there are songs like Glorified G, Dissident, and Rats that are good but on later albums as they became a more complete band sound a little dated. Awesome album though.Monkey_Driven wrote:Biff Pocoroba wrote:Y'all like Vs way more than me; it's my least favorite of the 90s albums.
Like you said, Vs. is absolutely full of monster songs and should be near the top of the rankings to reflect that. I have five songs in my top 10 and seven in my top 20. It’s mind blowing, really.Tuolumne wrote:I think Vs has 4-5 of the absolute all time greatest Pearl Jam songs ever.
