I think Vedder is one of the greatest vocalists from the post 90`s era and the rest of the band great musicians as well, problem is....they have always been contented to either churn out songs that sound half finished, sound that they are from a jamming session or as stated a lot of the middle of the road rock material................its all just a waste really, considering how high they are regarded especially amongst their very loyal followers.

You tell me who's "greater". The one who broke and killed himself, or the one who's still around writing music?
Holding someone being depressed and deciding to kill themselves against someone? Really?

Vedder may as well have shot himself after Vitalogy because everything after that was pretty terrible.

There was a reason Kurt was the leader of the Grunge movement, so the person who is "greater" is indeed the one who broke and killed himself.

Come on, I'm certainly no lover of them but they aren't that bad. Okay enough band, not great mind.

Lyrics by Pearl Jam:

Quote:
Father...ooh...oh...oh...
I see the world, feel the chill
Which way to go, windowsill
I see the world's on a rocking horse of time
I see the birds in the rain
Ohh...ohh...ohh...ohh...

Oh, dear dad, can you see me now
I am myself, like you somehow
I'll ride the wave where it takes me
I'll hold the pain...Release me...
Ohh...ohh...ohh...ohh...

Oh, dear dad, can you see me now
I am myself, like you somehow
I'll wait up in the dark for you to speak to me
I'll open up...Release me...
Release me (3x)
Ohh...ohh...ohh...ohh...

Not terrible? Really?
ROCKING HORSE OF TIME!

Most rock and roll lyrics are silly, nonsensical, chauvinistic and sexist. that's what makes some rock n roll bands fun. AC/DC for example.. Pearl Jam aren't great by any means but they aren't terrible either. Couple of decent records.

Nope AC/DC as an example was a bad choice there.

I disagree, Bon Scott was a great lyricist.

It was during the Brian Johnson era their lyrics became a cliched mess.

The Bon Scott stuff is ok I guess. But yes they've became a joke now.

Highway to Hell and Back in Black are great albums if you just want straight up rock n roll, fun lyrics. Not all rock has got to be great lyrics IMO, although I'm drawn to the written word.
