Vitalogy
No Code
Yield (their creative peak triumvirate)

Pearl Jam
Dark Matter (both could use a better SQ but the band sounds engaged and spontaneous on them)

Vs
Binaural
Ten (spotty albums with incredible highs and abysmal lows - in the case of Ten, most songs are great but the h/l thing resides in the band's mannerisms at the time)

Backspacer (successful in what it wanted to do but that's not what this band is about imo - encapsulates PRAMG)

Riot Act (there's a good EP in there)
Gigaton (never managed to listen to this one in one sitting - got bored about halfway through)
Lightning Bolt (their absolute nadir in terms of cohesion and quality control)

Real Pearl Jam fans would include every bootleg they’ve ever owned in their rankings. The bot that manufactures your posts has grown weak and ineffective.

I like this approach. I was thinking of doing two lists, one of which is how I rate the albums, and one of which is what I'm most interested in listening to. Dark Matter would certainly top the second list. Ten might be at the bottom of that one and at the top of the other.

For me the only bootlegs I've been interested in are for the shows I've gone to.
