Grand Theft Auto San Andreas is the reason why I ranked "Rusty Cage" #1. Reminds me of the game every time I hear it.

I didn't want to rank anything from King Animal or "Live to Rise", so I decided to discover some of their older material. Glad I did.

Good news for everyone, and especially Red : I will say this: Pearl Jam's time better be coming soon. They were close way too often for them not to get their due at some point. Time to announce the results of the first vote of Season 2! Here's how you voted: In their 11th time on the ballot, Pearl Jam finally get their time to shine, receiving 13 votes. Brand New receive only two votes and fall off the ballot for now. Their replacements based on your suggestions from the Soundgarden ballot and the Season 2 suggestions (weighted less due to age) are Talking Heads and Mastodon! Make sure to use the optional artist suggestion slots at the bottom of the ballot if you aren't satisfied with the current 25 artists fighting it out.
Voting closes in two weeks! Thanks for participating!

Pearl Jam are pretty hit or miss for me but their #1 is in my all time top ten so they are capable of greatness. Definitely check out their soundtrack singles, some of their covers are superb.

I know what my #1 will be, but beyond that is less certain.

On one hand, I'm ecstatic. Finally, one of my favorite bands is getting its due.
On the other hand...oh boy, this top 10 is going to be torture. I have a clear-cut #1, because...well, it's my favorite song ever. After that...

I wonder if my #1 is the same as everyone else's #1

I actually like a lot of Pearl Jam songs, but most of them came after that grunge era.

This was TOUGH. I had to cut some of my favorites, including "Dissident" and "Jeremy".

Pearl Jam should be fun to rank, so many songs to choose among.
I doubt we'll ever rank Audioslave, as this is the only week window they had a chance of being chosen. here's how I would have ranked it if we did Chris Cornell's entire discography as a whole rather than just Soundgarden. 1. Chris Cornell - Can't Change Me 2. Audioslave - Be Yourself 3. Audioslave - Like A Stone 4. Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun 5. Chris Cornell - Scream 6. Temple of the Dog - Hunger Strike 7. Audioslave - Doesn't Remind Me 8. Soundgarden - Spoonman 9. Audioslave - Show Me How to Live 10. Chris Cornell - Long Gone

while I greatly respect Pearl Jam, I've just never really got into them much...I don't dislike their songs but I notice a severe lack of joy and fun which make them more of a chore to sit through...granted the payoff is often worth that price, but if I want to be depressed i generally turn to goth music instead

It's funny. I never got into Pearl Jam until "World Wide Suicide" came out and I thought that freaking rocked. The singles from "Ten" were already so stale for me and I felt like every song kind of sounded the same that I ignored them. However, over the last ten years, my opinion has changed and they've probably become one of my favorite Top 50 bands of all-time.
I can't believe for Creed's "My Own Prison" review on Amazon way back in the day that when I was just 15 or 16 years old, I remember that said that Pearl Jam sucks and Creed is amazing. Times have certainly changed. I'm looking forward to working on this list this week.

There were some good songs from that era. Mostly from STP, but honestly Grunge sorta Sucked the fun out of Rock n Roll. At least for me it did.

Ten has to be one of the biggest and most influential rock albums of all time. So many iconic songs on it.

I didn't realize "Vs." was my favorite Pearl Jam album, but 4 of its songs made my top ten. Their consistency of output is so strong that there isn't really much difference between say #11 and #25 when narrowing down my list into ten songs.

I'm away this weekend, so I'm extending the deadline to July 12th, a week from today. Solid turnout so far, hope we can get some more lists in before the poll closes!

Glad to hear about the extension. I'm about halfway through their discography. but I know I'm going to have to go back and narrow down even more.
For anyone else who has listened this far into it, but did you find "No Code" and "Binaural" a bit hard to get through?

For anyone else who has listened this far into it, but did you find "No Code" and "Binaural" a bit hard to get through? No Code and Binaural are weaker overall efforts, but they still have some solid PJ songs. "Light Years", "Present Tense", "Off He Goes", "Hail, Hail", "Breakerfall", "Insignificance"... Everything after Vitalogy was hard for me to get through I feel like most of the later-era PJ songs are weaker in comparison to the first couple of PJ albums, but they all have at least one song that stands out in their discography. Even my least-favorite PJ album ( Riot Act) has "Save You" on it.

Sent. I had thought about just picking from the songs I already knew, but I'm glad I made time to listen to more of their discography, because I discovered some amazing gems.

Sent mine in. Grunge didn't exactly tickle my melodic funny bone. Pearl Jam had some songs I really love. "Dissident" had a cool STP vibe to it, but my choices will probably seem out of the blue to most of you.
