PearlJamSongRanker.com FINAL poll #24: Tracks 12 and beyond

[Dr. Van Nostrand]

Evacuation Rival haters are the lamest of the lame.

Who the heck hates rival, that song is fantastic

[Strat]

Who the heck doesnt think Binaural is pearl jams best? idiots.

[Dr. Van Nostrand]

Who the heck doesnt think Binaural is pearl jams best? idiots.

i dont, but only because no code and yield exist, binaural is right behind them

[LetMeSleep]

Binaural has great tracks but poor sequencing. It stumbles about and never retains my interest. But when I listen to standalone tracks I'm always blown away.

[ABNorman]

Binaural is the one Pearl Jam album that can be elevated massively for me by A) adding in some B-sides and B) re-tracking. As is, it doesn't often grab me unless my mood is right.

So - I'm the guy who put up the PearlJamSongRanker.com website that a bunch of people have checked out over the last week. On the 10C Forum and the 10C Facebook page I've been throwing out daily polls. Is that something that would go over well here at RM? A few people said you guys like ranking things.

Let me know - would be happy to do that, if you don't think it's too much clutter.

What would I have to pay you to make one if these for rem?

Ha! Well, it could probably be done relatively quick. How many albums does REM have?

Would have to wait until the second week of December is the only thing. Shoot me a PM and we can talk.

[MookieBlaylockMN]

Sorry I've been dropping the ball the past couple of days. Looks like we'll stretch this baby into December (I am gone for a week).

Feel free to rank the Track 6s: http://www.pearljamsongranker.com/index6.html

there was a time in the early 90s where jeremy was my all time favorite song

[4/5]

This is a really weird one. Apparently, track 6 has songs that I semi-like on recent albums and ones that are just ok on classic albums. So is one of the best songs on a bad album better than one of my least favorite from a better album?

This question is why I've tried this twice, but not been happy with the result. I can't decide; I seem to be stuck on certain songs being automatically better because they come from better albums.

Yeah, it was tough. For instance, Yield is my favorite and I really like Pilate, even though it isn't one of the best songs on that album. On the other hand S/T is not a very good album IMO, but the best song on it is Parachutes. I tried my best not to penalize the song for my dislike of the album as a whole.

Yup, same again. Wasn't sure what to do with that song.
