Pearl Jam's 10 was the album most identified with Grunge, and consequently the most copied (Creed, Nickleback, Puddle of Mud, etc.). You may have a point about PJ not fitting the Grunge sound in their latter releases, but for me Pearl Jam and Grunge are inexplicably intertwined.

See, that's the thing. Regarding Ten, I just don't find it to be a particularly heavy album at all. It sounds more like classic, old school rock.

But your point is taken, all the same. I see what you mean about Creed, Puddle of Mud etc. They seem to be going more for the Vedder vocal style than anything else.
