C'mon.

Superunknown may just be the best album in the last 25 years excluding Vitalogy.

They're both great but Superunknown comfortably beats out Vitalogy for me.

You're talking some crazy shit here, LV.

What about the other PJam long players?

That's hard to say, I love different things about both bands and I get different joys out of Superunknown than I do any Pearl Jam record.

In terms of my personal attachment, I'd say Vs is on a par with Superuknown - they're both incredibly consistent records.

I, too, have trouble ranking albums from the early to mid 90s. There are 5-10 records that are totally immense in my life and I love them all dearly.

Superunknown has Spoonman, and therefore is seriously marred.

For context, I also like RATM way, way, way more than SG. SG is a band of very talented musicians making music that isn't as interesting as they are.

I dont think Soundgarden and Audioslave are even in the same league.
Im a big fan of both, but the growth from, let say, Louder than love to Superunknown isnt something you see in every band.
From Badmotorfinger to Dotu, every album is a really challenging one, full with little surprises...and SU and Dotu arent full of fillers, every song is needed.
I can agree with the notion that Audioslave first album is amazing, and that perhaps, its more catchy and in your face than any of SG material...SG´s piece of work demands you more.

And i do think those 4 are better when they are together...with the exception of Ben. He is always better.

Man I think there is a BUNCH of filler on SU and DOTU.

For the record, I am not necessarily saying AS are a better BAND than SG. Just that their first album is - front to back - better than any SG album.

Yeah, i still cant see that. Superunknown might be my favorite album from the 90s.

I totally get it if you love SG that much. I've always liked them but they've never been a favorite.

I still think Audioslave first album is such a impressive collaboration, feels cohesive, brings the best of both worlds, and at the same time it hints of something new to come.

I like all the members of SG but I feel like they kind of bring out the worst in each other.

Yeah, Team LV

Please lets forget all of this. Please.

Audioslave was some decent forgettable alt-rock but I'm not a huge SG fan either. I'd probably give the edge to SG just for being different.
