RM March Madness: in which the phrase "and it's not even close" is typed more times on one website over the span of a month than it is typed on the entire internet throughout the whole remainder of the year.

It's tongue in cheek when I do it, for what it's worth. I think it's funny, as you pointed out, so I do it as sort of a running joke/RM Lexicon sort of thing. Not too dissimilar to Ruddo's "... so much it's sickening." Which I also really love, btw.
It's beyond crazy how much I agree with other RMers on which songs are the best songs over the first four albums. Yield is also fairly close but there's significant differences. But then after that? It's BANANAS how much I disagree with others RMers. So weird to me.

The Ten-Vitalogy bracket really reminds me of how narrow I consider pearl jam's true peak years. Those first three albums are absolutely untouchable. Three of the finest rock albums of all time. Everything from No Code - Lightning Bolt ranges from good to near great, but these first three are just in a league of their own.

I just mean the specific individual songs. It seems like I agree with the General RM body more in the early years but not so much, on a song by song basis, from Yield on. I think that's fascinating.
Why do we all agree that Animal or RVM or Go are great songs (even if we would rank those three differently) yet virtually no one agrees that Infallible is a fucking great song (or even a good song, for that matter)? Just fascinating to me.

Because Infallible is not a great song and those other three are. See? It's simple.
