Pearl Jam discography
I am nominating the discography because I believe it meets the criteria to be a Featured List. A lot of work has gone in to the article and I believe it to be complete and well-referenced. If there are any issues I will make sure to address them.-5- (talk) 03:53, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

 * "9.5 million + (US)[21]" – What's the + for? "More than 9.5 million?" Just put 9.5 million since that would be the maximum that has been verified; this goes for all of them.

Support I copy-edited the lead and cleaned up anything I could find a while back. This is great work by -5-, just like his effort with all Pearl Jam-related articles. I just have two questions for the reviewers as I'm unclear what MOS:DISCOG has to say about them:
 * Should Tribute albums be included in a band's discography (since its technically not by the band)?
 * Is it alright to list the total number of live albums including the official bootlegs in the template or should just the major Live albums be counted there (ie, 6)? indopug (talk) 14:11, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Support Looks good. Drewcifer (talk) 09:57, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Comment I know this might become a nightmare, but should the discography at least list the "official bootlegs" that were commercially released? A few of them charted on Billboard. WesleyDodds (talk) 04:05, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Comment Here's what I have to say:


 * "Love, Reign o'er Me" should have a note as to where it comes from (i.e which album/CD)
 * It doesn't come from an album. It was only released as a single.-5- (talk) 03:11, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Miscellaneous songs should only be songs that have never appeared on anyway PJ albums/singles etc. "Go" from Riding Giants: Soundtrack is an example of something that shouldn't be listed. Anything that's live (apart from live songs that have appeared on PJ albums/singles) can be included.
 * Is bootleg really the correct term. It's a bit of a misnomer; describing officially endorsed/released music recordings as bootlegs. Do any official sources actually ever describe these recordings as "bootleg"?
 * They have always been referred to as "bootlegs" by the band itself. Check Pearl Jam's official website, for instance.-5- (talk) 03:11, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Music video directors need to be cited. The self-referential argument does not apply here as some of the music videos were not released. Would it be prudent to note why these weren't released?
 * mvdbase is generally not considered reliable. Try to use individual magazine articles (like you did with Chris Cuffaro). indopug (talk) 21:36, 15 June 2008 (UTC)


 * "Official bootlegs will be available for the band's 2008 U.S. Tour in FLAC, MP3, and CD formats." statement isn't cited.

That's me. Tenacious D Fan (talk) 15:11, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Comments from
 * Ref 44 needs proper completion.
 * 72 "live albums" but the infobox doesn't agree, perhaps the infobox ignores these releases? Maybe something for DISCOG to discuss - 72 is a significant number of releases not to be included in the infobox...
 * The 72 are not called "Live albums" per se, but "Official bootlegs". I wonder if the template can accommodate an new header for them. indopug (talk) 21:36, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
