All this Ten talk got me to give this a spin yesterday. Man, what a fucking album. Eddie's voice really was incredible in its prime. Every song is great. Sometimes I almost think it's crazy that we rank any other PJ album above this (I still do, but sometimes it does seem crazy). For some reason, "Alive" hit me hard emotionally this time, despite having heard it 500 times before.

It's just that good.

What better way to show your love of Ten than participating in the Best of Grunge tournament?

I started a chronological play through the studio albums and the outro to Jeremy reminded me a lot of the second half of Dance

Jeremy is such a good song. Totally different from the more punk vibe of what their peers were doing at the time.

it's pretty rad, and the intro is one of the most complex in the catalogue

I had the burn out phase a long time ago and then i listened to a boot and realize how good the song is. From then, its just a song i cant skip. It also helps that the band plays it with the same fucking emotion since day 1.

Jeremy, Rearviewmirror, Do the Evolution, Dance, and Seven O’Clock are the primary instances where I feel like an above-the-grade Pearl Jam song was matched to a perfect in-studio delivery and was then also filtered through purely elevatory production choices.

I think over the many years I've heard this record (it was the first PJ album I heard, though probably not the first I became obsessed with), Jeremy, Oceans and Release have floated to the top in my opinions of the songs.

i'm not sure i'll ever listen to this album again unless its on the radio. i feel like i can name a live version of every song off the top of my head i like more. most of them are going to be unplugged, but the european tour for ten, the live tv performances, they all top the album for me. most of it is eddie vedder. early in their career he was one of the best live singers ever.

I was the first to mention it in the best outro thread. *pats self on back*

Jeremy will always be one of my favorite PJ songs. To me it might actually be the definitive PJ song.

I agree. Deep has also aged really well for me.

I think I just realised something I've been trying to articulate about what is "the best" about Ten

because even though it's not my favourite Pearl Jam album anymore, I feel in my very soul that it is "the best" at many things, and -- in this moment anyway -- the best at one thing in particular

I think this album has the highest number of exciting *song intros* of any album; regardless of where the songs go -- and a few I find anti-climactic as an older woman -- they all sound so exciting, so gripping, and so promising, when they start up

"Alive", "Jeremy", "Porch", "Deep"

they all say "get in bitch, we're going for a ride"

you may be on to something, though almost without exception I think the outros are as exciting. certainly alive and porch and jeremy!
