HTI is cool and all... but c'mon folks, Rats! That's just classic PJ right there.

Rats, not even close for me. I don't like HTI at all.

hard to imagine, by a close margin

Vs. is getting abused this round.

Songs like Rats, Glorified G and WMA are the reason why Vs. is my favorite album. For as much as people consider Vitalogy to be their "experimental" album, Vs. is where they really hit the nail on the head, by playing around with fun/groovy ideas that also hold up over the long haul as solid contributions.

I really hate those three songs you mentioned. They're throwaway to these ears. In fact I think they drag Vs down as a whole.
No accounting for taste though.

WMA is the only one of those I listen to regularly.
Glorified G is bottom of the barrel Pearl jam in my house.

Those are all fine tracks, blue. They've never reproduced that funky sound Dave A brought to the table.

I hear you, bluestate - for me, Vs. is Pearl Jam's best album.

(Followed closely by No Code.)

Yeah, I love Rats. But HTI happens to be one of my all time top-10 (maybe top 5) PJ songs. I adore it. There really only a handful that would stand a chance against in, for me.

Tough draw for Rats.
