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.

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. |

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.

I disagree, Bon Scott was a great lyricist.
It was during the Brian Johnson era their lyrics became a cliched mess.

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.
