Do we really need another Bs/lb combo thread?

Mods?

If my wonderful Ven thread was locked, then I'd expect the same here. This is an outrage!

Honestly none of them are worth the time and effort it would take to rank them. They could all disappear from the band's discography and I wouldn't even notice. Of the Earth = tallest midget.

I couldn't find one.

I do see some similar threads bumped, but nothing that fits what I'm looking for. I want all the Pearl Jam songs of the last decade ranked.

[stip]

these are really good albums you jerks!

[dimejinky99]

All of backspacer 10/10

[Anders]

What other songs have Pearl Jam made this decade (spring of 08 to spring of 18)?

Listened to all the songs a couple of times, and that's the list I came up with. Johnny Guitar and Let The Records Play were the two songs that surprised me in a positive way. Better than they used to be to my ears. Pendulum didn't feel right today, and The Fixer feels like it has lost out to time. If the first 15 were one album, maybe with one or two of those songs as b-sides, I think it would have been a pretty decent album. Below that there are several songs I don't really like at all.
