How did I miss this topic for a week?? HUGE PJ fan here. They've been my favorite band since 93 and have never dropped from that spot for a second. Only been to one show though, but it was amazing, fo course.
I dunno if I can really but the albums in order of preference, but here goes...
6 - Binaural
5 - No Code
4 - VS
3 - Yield
2 - Ten
1 - Vitalogy
I guess that's ok. To be honest, I'm not sure why I always put Vitalogy on top. Nothingman, Satans Bed and Stupid Mop are some of my least favorite things they've ever released, but Immortality, Corduroy, Tremor Christ and Spin the Black Circle make up for it.

Chance #3: Rain thinks "maybe if I just go down on the night of the show, they will let more people in." Rain does this, but after being outside in the cold for about 30 minutes after the show starts, having already seen Michael Stipe, Peter Buck and Mike Mills from R.E.M. (in town recording an album) go inside to the show, Rain gives up and goes home. Upon arriving home 15 minutes later, Rain finds a message on his machine telling him they started letting people in right after he left. Rain runs back, but it's too late.
Nearly the same thing happened to me (although I never saw REM)! I never got through to the Fox, so I went down to the Commodore pretty early to see what was going on. After being harrased by the cops a bit, and seeing a guy who looked like had been begging for change all day pull out a wad of bills to pay someone $300 to get in with them, I was getting a little discouraged. Nothing seemed to be going on, and there were no hints that anyone would be let in. After after 3 or 4 of PJ's set, and realising that I couldn't really hear anything outside, I left so that I wouldn't be too tired the next day (I had to work at 6AM). The next morning I found out they had started letting people in probably about 5-10 minutes after I left. Sigh.
