Well you do live somewhere rather apathetic to Oasis , are you going to do it in Europe , Australia & Japan to be scientific?

I know this , but when they are regually getting songs into the top 10 and at that time into the top 3 and regually getting airplay people know those songs , hence my reference to them being able to sell a few million out of a B sides album. People wanted to hear those songs too.
You are aware that nobody outside the US gives a stuff about Pearl Jam , right?

Yes i plan to travel the world in my search. In all seriousness though you are correct, i was only talking in the US.
And no im not really aware of how big they are worldwide. Do you know why that is? (referring to why they are not big outside of US) Because i really have no idea of quite a few bands popularity outside of my own country. (being the USofA)

edit: Also I would assume they would be at least semi-popular since there are quite a few other grunge bands that have made it big elsewhere.



Also i am looking now at sales and Ten went Gold in the UK and 6x Plat in Australia. it also went pretty high up in the charts in a plethora of other countries.

Off the back of the grunge movement and when they were at their most hype yes they did sell.
Once Cobain popped his clogs and the likes of Blur , Suede , Oasis , Pulp & Elastica came along their popularity plummeted.

Oh and a gold album in the UK is only 100,000 sales. Oasis debut album sold that amount in the first 4 days of it's release in the UK And 6x platinum in Australia is only 420,000 sales. Ten has sold 12 million copes worldwide , 9.5 million in the U.S. alone which kind of backs up what I said about nobody really caring about them outside the U.S. And this was at the peak of their popularity I imagine the gap is even bigger now.

We're not talking about quality of music we're talking about popularity.

Nice try though , I knew someone would jump in with a lazy comment like that without bothering to read what was actually being debated

The point of the matter is, the popularity of Pearl Jam outside their native country doesn't matter. We're all very aware you are not a fan of Pearl Jam, thus leading one to the reasonable conclusion that your indication of the sales they have made just runs full circle back to the fact that you don't like them. Pearl Jam>Oasis, and I don't care who sold more.

Urban Hat€monger ?

If you don't care who sold more or who's popular then why get involved at all?

And I wasn't the one who bought up Pearl Jam. Rezz was. I was just replying to what he said.
