I like Pearl Jam; I like Vedder's voice too. It's not over-the-top, he's not trying to impress people or anything with fancy singing or crap like that. Their lyrics are very good as well.

It at least commands respect.

Good Charlotte hasnt influenced ****, the only people they influence are record companys who shape bands into the same mold as Good Charrlotte simply because it sells records, no one starts a band because they felt moved by Good Charlottes music, they just imitate a popular band to make some quick cash.

Pearl Jam is different, bands are influenced by them because they really admire the band, not because its a marketable sound...Do you think they sell all those records because they are a commercial band?...Hell no, with no commercial marketing, no major singles since Ten, no music videos or any MTV exposure?... I dont think so.

They sell records because they are good records.

No it isnt, we are talking about MUSICAL INFLUENCE, not cultural influence or anything like that, influencing record companys and radio stations to play certain kinds of music isnt musical influence, because they didnt influence the actual music, they just influence the way the music is marketed...To have some kind of musical influence with any real significence, you have to influence actual musicians first.

As long as i can remember, no pop punk band has actualy called Good Charlotte a influence.
