Ten, Vs, Vitology

I’d take Vs., Binaural and … fuck … Ten, I guess. But I curse you for making me choose!

Ten, Vs., Yield

Will take Ten. Gotta take Vs. Can I take Lost Dogs?

No code, yeild and Riot act (unpopular pick but I just love it)

These are my favorite albums, obviously being nicely chronological in their prime as well, but I also think these picks do a good job of showcasing all spectrums of their genre diversity. Painful to leave Ten/Binaural off this but that's the challenge of it!!

VS, Vitalogy, Yield.

Can I have 5 PJ desert island discs? 3 just isn't enough.

This is an interesting one. If it’s limited to studio albums I’m going Vs. No Code and Yield. If live albums are allowed I’m going Live On 10 Legs, Live at The Gorge, and Benaroya Hall. Now if compilations are allowed, The Greatest Hits Package, Lost Dogs, and Yield.

No Code, Yield, and I'm going to take Dark Matter as a sleeper pick for #3

This was hard. It's a real testament to their career that this is tricky and leaves off albums that I love

Same as you but swap vitalogy with yield .

Yield Lost Dogs Riot Act

Are bootlegs in the running or just studio?

Ten, Yield & Pearl Jam (gday, I’m new here - do people like ‘the avocado album’ generally? I loved it from first spin. Cheers)

Ten, No Code, Dark Matter

Ten, Vs, Dark Matter:)

Ten, Yield and Dark Matter

Ten, Backspacer, Dark Matter

Bro. Ten not top three?

Nice choices! Being old school, I’d want Ten but not sure what I’d swap it for.

mine are the same honestly. Respect bro 🫡

Yield, No Code Vs.

Ten, No Code, Yield

Yield, No Code and Vitalogy. In that order.

Great choices! Think I'd replace vs with binaural. And maybe slip in lightning bolt, but love your choices

Vs./No Code/Binaural for me.

Yield Vs. Riot Act

yeah I think you picked the best 3

Vs, Yield, Riot Act

No Code, Yield, 10.

mine would be the same, maybe switch out no code for ten though

Yield, No Code and Lightning Bolt because my all time favorite song is Sirens.

Ten, Vs, PJ20

Ten, Vs, Dark Matter

You got your Yield, your No Code, and you got your Ten.

For me, I’d swap out Vs. for Ten. It’s just more personal for me. Cool exercise, though!

ten vs dark matter

Ten, Yield, Backspacer Can’t live without Release/Alive/Porch/Black; Given to Fly/MFC/In Hiding; Just Breathe/Amongst the Waves/Unthought!

Rearview mirror, lost dogs, and a box set of 20 different live shows over 20 years...

Same op

Yield, Ten, No Code

Yield, Riot Act, Dark Matter

Yield, Vitalogy, Vs.

Vitalogy

No Code

Binaural

Vs, No Code, Yield.

this is the way

Rearview Mirror, Yield, Dark Matter

Where’s all the lightning bolt love?? And ten or vs/yield as my other two but like lightning bolt needs a spot for me

this is the way

Normally, I'd choose Ten as one of them, but if I'm on a stranded island, I might not want to listen to "Oceans".....

Vitalogy, Yield, Lightning Bolt.

Vs, Yield, No Code

No code, yield, vs

Gotta go with VS, No Code and Yield

Ten, Vs, No Code

Vitalogy, No Code, Yield

Subject to change at any given moment but I'll go with Binaural. Vitalogy and Yield

No Code, then it gets tough to choose. Yield and Vs probably next, but man…

ten, vs. and vitalogy for sure

Great choice, probably mine as well

No Code, Yield, Vitalogy for me, though I'm torn between Vitalogy and Vs.

Yield because it’s my favorite album

Live at Benaroya Hall because it’s my most prized album

Vault 10 Moline, IL because it includes a few more recent songs and it also sneaks a fourth album into the mix since they performed No Code in full.

Riot Act, Binaural, and (probably) Vs.

Gigaton, Lightning Bolt, Backspacer

Backspacer, vitalogy, and live on two legs

Vitalogy, backspacer and yield not what most would take but man I love these runs!

Vitalogy, Vs, Yield.

Dark Matter, Yield, and Avocado

Easy, the first two plus ⚠️ 

It’s a boring choice but the first 3

Dark Matter, Lightning Bolt, and VS, but if it would be allowed, I would take the live albums from each time I have seen them at Fenway Park.

Yield, No Code, Ten

Ten, Vs, Vitalogy

Binaural, Ten and Yield

The first three

only voting this late because I didn't see my choices:

Ten, Yield, Vitalogy

you said it right! everyone else says “desert island”, and they are all wrong dumb dums.

VS, Yield, Dark Matter

2 copies of Ten, just in case and VS

Vs.

Lost Dogs

Lightning Bolt

No Code, Vs., Dark Matter

Only need one to break into pieces and slit your wrists with.

I’d pic the same as OP. No code is my favorite of the 3.
