They "feel" more RA than PRAMG, so you best not include them anyway.

How does a song that was never released count as a money grab?
It doesn't it. However, it's in that PRAMG era, so it qualifies.

They "feel" plenty close to S/T to me. What do feeling have to do with it anyways? I'm into facts, man. Facts.

I guess the logic of PRAMG was thrown out the window a long time ago so

Agreed completely. I'm not including it on my list because it seems so blatantly obvious that it shouldn't be part of that body of work.
I honestly have a tough time lumping S/T into the PRAMG. It strikes me as their attempt at making a classic rock album, which is fine, and makes sense given where they were at the time. It's the last two albums that feel really hollow to me.
I agree. I like S/T, but not the two after. However, the board has spoken, it's referred to as PRAMG; but I do like to think of it as PAMG (post avocado money grab).

While we're at it, I've always hated the "Post Riot Act Money Grab" label.

Parachutes, and I guess most Stone songs since 2004.

I never felt like it was a money grab as much as U2-grab. I felt like they wanted to be one of the Big Bands again, but I don't know if it necessarily had much to do with money.
