We can rank all albums involving a Pearl Jam member (as guest musicians, compilations or soundtracks with various bands don't count).

Mine would look something like:
1. Mirrorball
2. Mad Season
3. Everything else

(Just because I can't think of an exhaustive list. I put RNDM over Tres Mts, and I haven't really listened to Brad, Star Anna, etc)

[MookieBlaylockMN]

On that note, may I present RM's Track 1-4?:

1) Last Exit
2) Faithfull
3) Alive
4) Given To Fly

1: Last Exit (11), Brain of J (4), Go (3), Sometimes (3), Can't Keep (2), Breakerfall (1)
2: Faithfull (10), Hail Hail (8), Even Flow (2), Animal (1), Save You (1), WWS (1, guess who?)
3: Alive (6), Not For You (5), No Way (5), Who You Are (3), Daughter (1), LBC (1)
4: Given To Fly (10), In My Tree (9), Tremor Christ (4), Light Years (2), Cropduster (1)

Very scientific.

Phenomenal. I was going to get around to tallying this stuff on RM and also the other two places I've been running polls. Was going to do a 5-point system for everyone's top five, tally the scores, then remix albums 1-5 (1 being the highest rated in each position, 2 being second most, etc). So this is helpful, thanks!

I have two threads waiting to go once ranking fever dries up

Well, if we do a poll for each option on the site, we are 15 days away. Though I might need to start doubling up as I leave the country on 11/26.

2. Mad Season
3. Everything else

(Just because I can't think of an exhaustive list. I put RNDM over Tres Mts, and I haven't really listened to Brad, Star Anna, etc)

Eddie Vedder:
Into The Wild (2007)
Ukulele Songs (2011)

Bad Radio, Temple Of The Dog, Mirror Ball

Stone Gossard:
Bayleaf (2001)
Moonlander (2011)

Green River, Mother Love Bone, Temple Of The Dog, Brad, Mirror Ball

Jeff Ament:
Tone (2008)
While My Heart Beats (2012)

Green River, Mother Love Bone, Temple Of The Dog, Three Fish, Mirror Ball, Deranged Diction, Tres Mts, RNDM

Mike McCready:
No solo album

Shadow, Temple Of The Dog, Mad Season, Mirror Ball, The Rockfords

Matt Cameron:
No solo album

Soundgarden, Skin Yard, Tone Dogs, Temple Of The Dog, Hater, Wellwater Conspiracy, Harrybu McCage

All of them have also done contributions and collaborations.

Typical side projects to Pearl Jam are Brad, Three Fish, Deranged Diction, Tres Mts, RNDM, Mad Season, The Rockfords, Hater, Wellwater Conspiracy, Harrybu McCage, and the solo work of each member, while Mirror Ball was a band effort.

Of the side project bands in Pearl Jam's active period I think Brad (Interiors), Mad Season (Above) and Wellwater Conspiracy (Brotherhood Of Electric) have been the best. Love Into The Wild, Superunknown and Temple Of The Dog of course.

No Code has a ridiculously good 1-6, 1-9 even.

The first 10 songs of No Code is the most perfectly-sequenced run in their catalogue for me.

If No Code ended with Present Tense would it be considered Pearl Jam's masterpiece?

I'd cut Mankind and I'm Open and end it with Around the Bend. Habit makes the cut, but barely. The album needs that one hard rocker. 11 tracks. It could have been considered the masterpiece. Possibly.

not a chance. There are just not enough songs on No Code that the world outside of pearl jam fans would consider essential or important enough. It's not like people want to say 'man, no code would have been just perfect if someone had axed mankind'

I agree the album would have been better, but that's not the same thing

When I am talking about their masterpiece I am talking about which album the serious fan base widely considers their greatest work. I'm not concerned with what the world outside of PJ fans thinks is essential or important enough. That's what greatest hits albums are for.

Understood.

the fan base seems to feel that ten, vitalogy, no code, or yield is their masterpiece already, don't they?

Agreed that those four top most lists. I wonder if the few outliers on No Code keep it from being an even more popular choice as the fan favorite. The "problem" that I find with the outliers on No Code is that I feel that they don't add to the album experience in the same way that the songs of their ilk add to the overall feel of Vitalogy. Ten and Yield are both great great albums. Both have topped my list at times. But they are probably just not quite as interesting as as Vitalogy is for me.
