I'll say that I gave Pearl Jam thier one vote. And this is for a couple reasons.
To me, they had the skill, the passion and the topical message that made liking them have some purpose. They championed ideas and frankly, bands with opinions matter a little more to me. Theres alot of people on here who are appauled by them and I jsut don't know why. Songs like "why go home" "go" "given to fly" and "courderoy" are probably some of the most impassioned songs I've heard from any band. I don't mind that you don't like them, but to react to them as if their The Whirlwind Heat or Crazytown just isn't fair and you know it. Pretty decent solos, soild vocals, meaningful lyrics, and a dedication to the fan base that rivals any band live or dead. Why Pearl Jam doesn't sit well in the mouths of Brits is beyond me, but the ones that show up here seem to have an affinty toward pop more than rock. Fair enough, but to discredit a band that makes so many people react is a band you should **** on because you personally don't like it.
And to the one guy who said Ten and Vitalogy were good but failed to mention Vs., which was better than both aforementioned, well, I don't know where you get off sir, I just don't.
