Pearl Jam

An American rock band formed in Seattle in 1990 which rose to become one of the best and most influential bands of modern times. Widely associated with grunge music, Pearl Jam also includes elements of classic rock, alternative rock, garage rock, post-grunge, and experimental rock. Easily recognizable by the bluesy guitar work of lead guitarist Mike McCready and the deep grungy voice of Eddie Vedder. Frontman, lead singer, and occasional guitarist Eddie Vedder is also an environmentalist and conservationist, which makes him badass.
Often hated by people such as modern rock and nu-metal fanboys, as well as a small group of grunge "fans" who claim that Pearl Jam sold out their roots, which, of course is not true... they simply adapted their music to the messages they want to spread. Many people say that Pearl Jam never made a good album after Ten, but of course these people have never heard any of their songs other than their radio hits. People can't seem to give any reasons why they dislike Pearl Jam without making themselves look like immature assholes, simply because it is impossible to dislike Pearl Jam if you sit down and listen to them.
Most well known for their songs Alive, Even Flow, Jeremy, Yellow Ledbetter, Betterman, Daughter, Just Breathe, and their cover song Last Kiss.
Creator of great unknown gems like Oceans, Tremor Christ, Garden, Last Exit, 1/2 Full, I Am Mine, Off He Goes, etc.

Pearl Jam

Pearl Jam are a fine example of an awesome band.

These 'awesome bands' are very endangered these days, especially since John Lennon died and Ke$ha started raping the charts.
Now, despite the Y2K bug and Justin Bieber, Pearl Jam are one of the best creations of the 90's as they eclectically combine grunge with heavy rock with soft accoustic guitars with the coolest voice possible.

The best of the best songs are:
Even Flow
Black
Yellow Ledbetter
Alive
Just Breathe

Pearl Jam conquer about 90% of my iPod and have about 40 tribute bands, which is always good!

I hate Pearl Jam, but then again I'm an obese anti-christ homo who digs Nickelback.
How many people did I offend there...?

Well, Pearl Jam is... something different for everyone, something that almost anyone can connect to and experience a divine pleasure from it (starting from the music and going through the lyrics).It is a universe that has appeal to many and place for everyone.
I am actually very annoyed to read such pathetic comments from both Nirvana and Pearl Jam's fans, trying to prove that their "toy" is better than anybody's else. Cobain was a bitter man that attacked everyone including himself, so i don't think that the fans should continue with the stupid "war".
Pearl Jam and Nirvana are different in their views, beliefs and MOST important in their musical goals, so trying to compare them is a waste of time. I listen to both bands and admire their works.
After all music is what really matters.

Have you heard Smells Like Teen Spirit played by Pearl Jam?
Kinda proves my point.

A good band, but album sales don't mean anything.

I like Pearl Jam, but I'm not shallow enough to base my opinion of 'the best band' on the record sales.

pearl jam

A music group that didn't accomplish much more then inspire an amazing band called Creed that ended up rocking Saskatoon radio for a good 5 years with the same song.

Mike: Is this Pearl Jam?
Albert: This band fucking sucks and sounds nothing like Pearl Jam.
