Pearl jam fucking sucks

Pearl jam fucking sucks

It’s because Eddie Vedder is unintelligible, isn’t it?

I like them.

my mom likes them

nirvana a better

AIC > Soundgarden > Nirvana >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> pearl jam

Irrefutable.

So does Nirvana lol. Alice was the only one who did grunge right.

no, they're just boring. Edgeless. The U2 of grunge.

They have some cuts, but overall they're bad.

Yellow Ledbetter and EWBTCIAST are good. They might have a few others.

Only when you're sober.

I don't

U2 was great in the 80's and 90's
Pearl jam was never good

No way this wasn't a set up.

how many millions of records have you sold?

AIC are about fifteen million miles removed from the rest of these guys (idk much soundgarden desu but pearl jam and nirvana are fucking shit)

EEEEEEEEEEEVEN FLOW

AIC

1 good/decent album (dirt) and maybe a total of 3-4 good song off the rest of their discography but that's pretty much it

nirvana

Literally everything they released is great and BY FAR AND WIDE the most influential of the "big 4"

soundgarden

Literally who (black hole sun is good I guess)

pearl jam

Mostly buttrock slop but they do have a few decent tunes

Nirvana weren't Grunge idiot.

For me it's Bush

FREEEZINNNNNNNNNN

STP > Soundgarden > Nirvana >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> pearl jam

There fixed it for you.

BURNEMBENRNENELGIEGH LIFE AGAIN
LIFE AGAIN
YEAH!

if you haven't heard pearl jam's ten playing on your big brother's car stereo while he fucks his girlfriend in the back seat while her leg musses your hair and the panties hanging off her ankle fall onto your lap and you sniff the damp spot on the gusset and get your first official erection then you haven't heard pearl jam's ten imho

this anon knows whats up.

Look, first three albums are GREAT. Rest is so zzzzzzzzzzzz

this

Pearl Jam would have been decent as a folk rock band.
What spoils them is that they kept trying to shoehorn that Richard Thompson yarl singing style into an instrumentation that still reminded the glam/funk rock roots of the original members.

They have a couple decent tunes on Ten that you could strip down, remove all that blues rock filler that is pretty generic, and turn them into simpler folk rock songs. Then they would sound much better.

Eventually they gave themselves away when they made songs like Nothingman, which is literally 100% a folk rock ballad.

They could have been something like the male equivalent of Eddie Brickel and the Bohemians and it would have worked, they have a similar vibe, except PJ had too much 80s glam rock in its genetics to simply shake that off.

I think what attracted people to them was this cathartic tribal/catatonic style of vocal phrasing that Vedder had and the uptempo speed of their music. Made listeners feel pumped up. But again the actual style of instrumentation aged as badly as Def Leppard's. And Eddie's yarl can get on your nerves eventually and sound a bit too formulaic and emotionally exaggerated.

They're actually the 2nd best of the big 4 after Alice in Chains. Course you have to get past your teen Kurt Cobain phase to understand that.

boring

Eddie actually has interesting vocal delivery whereas nirvana just sounds like pop songs. Take Jeremy for example the way he delivers

and he hit me with a surprise left

jaw left open just like the day...

Enhances the song singing like a character reenacting the emotions of the story and the rhythm and energy of his words reflecting that. Rare from the genre

No Code was the most inventive release from a popular grunge band up to that point but it was a genre shift essentially so grunge purists don't like it

they could've been male edie brickell

Yeah instead they became the biggest grunge band following Nirvana that somehow still maintains a more rabid fan base while literally the rest of the big 4 are dead. Man what could've been. Not to mention they each live like actual adults with their families whilst dudes like Cornell khs for some reason
