I think of the Supersonics as more of a lighter fare amongst the more typical Pearl Jam heavy thematic songs, so I would list per album:
Ten: none - just a heavy album front to back
Vs.: Glorified G
Vitalogy: Satan’s Bed
No Code: Mankind
Yield: MFC
Binaural: Soon Forget
Riot Act: Green Disease
Pearl Jam: Big Wave
Backspacer: Supersonic, Johnny Guitar, The Fixer
Lightning Bolt: Let the Records Play, Sleeping By Myself
Gigaton: Never Destination
Dark Matter: Running
Some of these songs I really love, some less so, but I guess that is what it is. Whoever said Leatherman was also onto something. Also probably Down and Undone. Really almost a quarter of Lost Dogs may fit on this - Dirty Frank, Sweet Lew, Let Me Sleep, Gremmie Out of Control, Drifting.
I didn’t rank them but at least I tried to find the definition somewhere.
Someone should make a playlist and name it “Pearl Jam - Puttin’ On the Spritz”

It really is one of them. Once has never gotten stale for me.

You know, it never even occurred to me that Supersonic was a tribute to the basketball team. I'll see myself out.

I could be misremembering but I am pretty sure there was a live performance in 2009 where they specifically rewrote the words to be about the NBA team

Here is the version with the altered lyrics. From what I can see it is blocked from being embedded so you will likely have to follow the link to watch it on Youtube.
I dig “Supersonic” — I never understood why it was so disliked.
