that would be a good album title

I know we're like 10 pages past this topic, but OTE sucks and SBM is a very pretty song. I will be annoyed if OTE is on this album.

True, but I have no problem whatsoever with it being in the discussion on some level. It's fantastic.

My favourite PJ album (Vitalogy or No Code, depending on the day) is the best album of the 90s just by virtue of being by PJ.

I think Vitalogy holds a much stronger place in the discussion of the best album of the 90's than No Code does. It's my personal second favorite album of the 90's, and I could see critically putting it in the top ten for the decade as well.

Seconded. Vitalogy is my favourite by PJ followed by Ten. Realistically though, if influence and impact are taken into account, Ten would rank higher. But it all depends on what 'best' implies.

I think OTE had the makings of a good song, even if it wasn't one in its present form. There's no way it'll be exactly the same if it's on there.

Let's see, what did I miss?

MYM isn't as special as anything on No Code, neither is FD or LB.

I mean the whole package.
Look at the elements separately - and they are just a bunch of polaroids, nothing special, eh

And songs. The whole package includes the songs.

I like MYM more than at least half of no code. not that this will surprise anyone

Half? ... But a few, for sure.

I prefer MYM to sometimes, smile, off he goes, habit (although the best parts of habit are better than the best parts of MYM), lukin, mankind, I'm open, and around the bend.

I should be used to this by now... But I'm... I'm just not.

Infallibomb?

A- for effort.

Habit rules. From 2:50 onwards is just pure f*cking Pearl Jam:

I admit that it's not as good as Infallibottle but because I imagined it in my head with a British accent: Infallibott-le.

"I'll be swinging upside down, and there I will sway." PENDULUM. Worst band ever, but hopefully a good song.

Que?

The "Pendulum" artwork looks like a Spider-Man mask

If I had to put together a group of records that greatly impacted/altered the aesthetic of 90's music, Ten would absolutely be the Pearl Jam album I'd put on it (and would be very near the top, especially if you're talking about just rock). Vitalogy would be part of a group of records that I consider to be outstanding artistic accomplishments on their own merits, regardless of impact/influence/etc.

Cool song name at least.

Today's seemed powerful

Just out of interest, how does MYM rank for you now? 4* or lower?

I like the Pendulum artwork and the name. Yeah, this tracklist pleases me.

Well, that was fast.
