Ten is the debut studio album by the American rock band Pearl Jam, released on August 27, 1991, through Epic Records. Following the dissolution of their previous band Mother Love Bone in 1990, bassist Jeff Ament and guitarist Stone Gossard began rehearsing with new guitarist Mike McCready. The group recorded a five-song instrumental demo tape that included contributions from Matt Cameron on drums. Copies of the demo were eventually given to drummer Dave Krusen and vocalist Eddie Vedder, both of whom were invited to audition for the band in Seattle. Many of the songs on Ten were instrumental jams or reworked Mother Love Bone songs for which Vedder provided lyrics.
Black is my favorite Pearl Jam song. When we did the MAD American Artist countdown, it was my #1 overall song. So I have to go with it for the playlist, even though there are so many other great songs. I seriously considered Release but could not pull the trigger.

Since you both were high rankers you each get to pick a song for the playlist.

Radiohead was not a band I paid a lot of attention to until OK Computer came out. I at first figured they were going to be a one-hit MTV wonder, then I thought the most-played songs from The Bends -- Fake Plastic Trees, High and Dry and My Iron Lung -- were better, but they were not anything that was going to prompt me to take a deep dive (see what I did there?). Then I saw the ecstatic reviews for OK Computer, and noticed that some of my music-geek friends were geeking out about it particularly hard, so I decided to check it out, And it was as good as advertised. All of the best elements of prog, post-punk and "alternative" music were here. Its popularity defied a lot of conventional wisdom about the music industry, which I touched on when I discussed the Failure documentary: Some of the songs have A LOT going on with them, more than you would expect the average listener to be able to absorb. And one of those songs was the first single, Paranoid Android. Yet, thanks to the inroads made by the first two albums and the embracing of the record by key opinion leaders back when that kind of thing mattered more, OK Computer was a hit and quickly became rightly regarded as one of the best albums of the decade. It hit me hard and I went out and got The Bends and fell in love with the deep tracks there.11. OK Computer – Radiohead (879 points)

OK Computer is the third studio album by the English rock band Radiohead, released on 21 May 1997. With their producer, Nigel Godrich, Radiohead recorded most of OK Computer in their rehearsal space in Oxfordshire and the historic mansion of St Catherine's Court in Bath in 1996 and early 1997. They distanced themselves from the guitar-centred, lyrically introspective style of their previous album, The Bends. OK Computer's abstract lyrics, densely layered sound and eclectic influences laid the groundwork for Radiohead's later, more experimental work.
When my son was in utero, we made an iPod playlist for his room, which he still has today, 14 years later. It's mostly the Disney music that my wife loves, but also includes lullaby versions of seven of my favorite songs, one of which is "No Surprises." So that would be my pick for the playlist.

I’ve got 9 of them but I’m blanking on the 10th. I’ll figure it out.Ok, now I have sussed out the top 10, as I suspect most have. Just what order…. The one I called out to KP before we began as “I hope this isn’t #1” is still out there.

I am totally missing whatever this interaction was.
Pip and I are debating the order of the top 10. And by "debating," I mean that I've acknowledged he's probably more right than I am. There's one in there that I'm really excited and surprised to see make it. I have only four of the top 10 on my list.

I have 8 of the final 10 figured out, but I am blanking out on the other two. I am not a rap or hip hop guy, so maybe there is an album or two coming from those worlds that I am just not thinking about.
