From this round on, I will leave the thread open for one day before adding a poll. It'll give us a chance to discuss the merits of each albums before deciding how to vote.
First up in the second round we have Pearl Jam up against the Prodigy.
Pearl Jam - Ten
Ten is the debut studio album by the American rock band Pearl Jam, released on August 27, 1991 through Epic Records. Following the disbanding of bassist Jeff Ament and guitarist Stone Gossard's previous group Mother Love Bone, the two recruited vocalist Eddie Vedder, guitarist Mike McCready, and drummer Dave Krusen to form Pearl Jam in 1990. Most of the songs began as instrumental jams, to which Vedder added lyrics about topics such as depression, homelessness, and abuse.
Ten was not an immediate success, but by late 1992 it had reached number two on the Billboard 200 chart. The album produced three hit singles: "Alive", "Even Flow", and "Jeremy". While Pearl Jam was accused of jumping on the grunge bandwagon at the time,Ten was instrumental in popularizing alternative rock in the mainstream.[2] In February 2013, the album crossed the 10 million mark in sales, becoming the 22nd one to do so in the Nielsen Soundscan era[3] and has been certified 13x platinum by the RIAA. It remains Pearl Jam's most commercially successful album.[4]
Vs
The Prodigy - Music for the Jilted Generation
Music for the Jilted Generation is the second studio album by English electronic dance music band The Prodigy. The album was released through XL Recordings in July 1994.
The album was re-released in 2008 as More Music for the Jilted Generation, including remastered and bonus tracks.[2] Similarly to their previous record Experience, Maxim Reality is the only group member, besides Liam Howlett, from the then line-up to contribute to the album.
