I never understood why Ten was so lauded; it was the record that created the plague that we call post-grunge and I always felt it was particularly dull.

Showing no blind hometown pride because Pearl Jam has never personally done anything at all, and perhaps unfairly I have a grudge against them because I wasted a lot of time in my teens passively listening to their many far-worse imitators. That's my problem, not theirs, but that doesn't make their music any better. Closing Time is a gem if somewhat tame compared to some of Waits later work, but it's a great listen on it's own right. Very easy decision here

Closing Time is good, but there are quite a few of his other albums I love much more, whereas Ten is in my top 10 of all time, easy enough choice.

"Closing Time" was a good album, but it didn't even make my top 100. Still, that first half was beautiful, and it looked like it would top "Ten" for a while. But overall, "Ten" for the win.

In all fairness, it's really hard to sum up post-grunge like that. I mean, yeah, you give me Creed or Daughtry or Nickelback and I will show you that it can be dull.
But bands like Audioslave, Finger Eleven, Filter, Foo Fighters, Matchbox Twenty, Stone Temple Pilots, Switchfoot, The Verve Pipe, The Vines ... a lot of good came from post-grunge, I think.

Those bands are all pretty awful too.

Post grunge favorites of mine (and I dislike a good amount of post grunge, but there are certainly amazing bands in that category) include Bline Melon, Everclear (who, before they turned into more of a pop orientated group, were really alt - country with a hard(ish) sound to them), Our Lady peace, Dishwalla, and collective soul. Local H was actually pretty good as well, but most of what post grunge is irks me to no end.
