I can't get myself to think of Pearl Jam as some "good" band
Poast new message in this thread
Date: April 29th, 2017 5:55 PM Author: Glittery Walnut Ratface They are just there, as they have always been. They get mentioned in sentences after the words "Nirvana" or "grunge" or "Seattle," but with the implicit understanding that they are mediocre and take themselves too seriously. Boomers, some of whom might begrudgingly acknowledge Taylor Swift's talents, universally think that PJ sucks. They just exist for their own sake; their work doesn't actually inspire anyone or elicit any particular feelings or impress anyone discerning. They are depressing as fuck and I'd rather listen to...literally.... The Eagles. Literally. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3599618&forum_id=2#33192485) |

Date: April 29th, 2017 6:05 PM Author: Glittery Walnut Ratface All of those random bands that only existed for 2 years in the 90s like Lit/Len/Live/Semisonic/Harvey Danger/Eve6 are all just as good and here are 10 random bands that are better
RHCP RATM TEB TFF Coldplay Radiohead Fuck No Doubt 30 Odd Foot of Grunts The Blues Brothers
PJ is about on par with Imagine Dragons or something. If they were to go on tour, Rob Thomas with Carlos Santana should have Pearl Jam OPENING for their opening act. |

Date: April 29th, 2017 6:27 PM Author: Glittery Walnut Ratface Wtf, they are not better than TFF or RHCP. Dave Grohl should've cried foul when PJ had Cobain killed. Grohl realized that Grunge was flame and just plays chill music that high school girls put the lyrics of in their aol profiles in 2003, while PJ is still milking "Ten."

I never understood their popularity, I just have utter indifference toward them. They might as well be the Gin Blossoms or something |

The old stuff stands (mediocrely) on its own but there is nothing like an old as fuck Gen X bro to show you what aging un-gracefully looks like for both the band and its fans. 0/10 |

Date: April 29th, 2017 6:21 PM Author: Nubile stage Know what 90s band I've actually sweetened on? Dave Matthews Band.
Used to be too cool to like them, but some of their music is actually pretty chill. |

Date: April 29th, 2017 6:22 PM Author: Glittery Walnut Ratface They are awesome, I want to see them live. All the chill bros in my high school/college were big on DMB, but I am an antisocial lib with a mediocre phenotype so they never jammed out in my presence.

Date: April 29th, 2017 6:20 PM Author: Glittery Walnut Ratface Theory: PJ had Cobain killed so that they would be the undisputed kings of the pile of shit genre called "grunge music."
Does "grunge" even use the actual grunge pedal any more than other genres? Or is grunge just a euphemism for "depressing music that makes no sense and takes itself seriously that's rooted in punk." |

Date: April 29th, 2017 6:30 PM Author: Glittery Walnut Ratface Yeah the deejays pay them quiet deference, like you would a depressive older brother who voted Democratic and drives a 15 year old car and takes himself seriously. It's the path of least resistance. Even clear channel has no idea why they do it. Cobain's death allowed PJ and the rest of the grunge bands to take themselves seriously without being laughed at.
Guess who else showed up in the early 90s and never left? Stone Temple Pilots! They are like Pearl Jam for people who aren't depressed, or women! |

The band members grew uncomfortable with their success, with much of the burden of Pearl Jam's popularity falling on frontman Vedder.[10] While Pearl Jam received four awards at the 1993 MTV Video Music Awards for its video for "Jeremy", including Video of the Year and Best Group Video, the band refused to make a video for "Black" in spite of pressure from the label. This action began a trend of the band refusing to make videos for its songs. Vedder felt that the concept of music videos robbed listeners from creating their own interpretations of the song, stating that "Before music videos first came out, you’d listen to a song with headphones on, sitting in a beanbag chair with your eyes closed, and you’d come up with your own visions, these things that came from within. Then all of a sudden, sometimes even the very first time you heard a song, it was with these visual images attached, and it robbed you of any form of self-expression."[27] "Ten years from now," Ament said, "I don't want people to remember our songs as videos."[10] |

Date: April 29th, 2017 6:49 PM Author: Massive really tough guy i've come to a different conclusion. the singles on "ten" were massively overplayed, but the next two albums (vs. and vitalogy) both have a fair number of good songs that were never played all that much.
then it really went haywire with "no code," after which point there are scattered songs here and there that were decent, but nothing very cohesive. |

Date: April 30th, 2017 2:13 AM Author: Fuchsia theater stage Imho ten is overplayed but it's quite good. It's like wolfmother or one of those loud as duck bands. Vs is great, Vitology is very mixed and then all down hill from there.
But they are great live. |
