Pearl Jam's second act: Best tracks of the 2000s

[Leatherhead]

Great topic.

Going back to the list I created using the tool at pearljamsongranker.com - I came up with this (I'll go to 12):

1. Love Boat Captain (Riot Act, 2003)
2. Unthought Known (Backspacer, 2009)
3. The Fixer (Backspacer, 2009)
4. Let The Records Play (Lightning Bolt, 2013)
5. Down (Lost Dogs, 2003)
6. Sirens (Lightning Bolt, 2013)
7. Love, Reign Oer Me (Reign Over Me, 2007) <- if you count this, that is
8. You Are (Riot Act, 2003)
9. Light Years (Binaural, 2000)
10. I Am Mine (Riot Act, 2003)
11. Of The Girl (Binaural, 2000)
12. Save You (Riot Act, 2003)

Don't think I'd put any of these in my top 10 of the 2000's. Maybe Of the Girl, maybe.

I think it is fascinating how different these lists are and how we perceive their music. Off the top of my head, without actually ranking at this point, I would definitely put Insignificance, Nothing As It Seems, Can't Keep, Severed Hand, Pendulum, Lightning Bolt, Yellow Moon, Sad, Half Full, and Down on the list...though I am sure that could change.

Not in order, and this also contradicts some of my album rankings but whatever. I put 3 minutes into it and this is what I came up with. And I'm gonna be a rebel and not count Lightning Bolt. These other albums are in the 00s. LB is in the 10s.

00s
Ghost (Riot Act, 2003)
Cropduster (Riot Act, 2003)
You Are (Riot Act, 2003)
Cant Keep (Riot Act, 2003)
Severed Hand (Pearl Jam, 2006)
Army Reserve (Pearl Jam, 2006)
Parachutes (Pearl Jam, 2006)
Nothing As It Seems (Binaural, 2000)
Insignificance (Binaural, 2000)
Of The Girl (Binaural, 2000)

10 songs is hard..
Sad
Fatal
Nothing as it seems
Light Years
Cropduster
Down
Undone
Army Reserve
Parachutes
Unemployable

Insignificance, Grievance, Parting Ways, Education, In The Moonlight, Save You, Love Boat Captain, Help Help, Other Side, World Wide Suicide, Come Back & Sirens were pretty close.

Could you make a ranker for 2000s songs on your website?

Yeah, I could probably break down by decade, or at least 1990-2000, then 2000 and beyond. The tricky part would be where to include Lost Dogs tracks - you'd place them by when they were recorded, right? I'm assuming that info is pretty easy to find (apart from finding my hard copy of Lost Dogs's liner notes), right?

[stip]

yeah, it would be pretty easy. And answers are easily found here.
