Which of you forumites love Pearl Jam?
Moi
3 o clock in the morning?! Random thread?! You've been drink AGSing again!!
I absolutely do.
14 year old me thought they were the absolute best.
Good band, but I was never that into them really. Somehow there was always just something else I'd rather have listened to.
I love it when you create threads like these. :-D :-D
I liked Black and I Am Mine?
I love Alive. That is my favourite jam blasted out when I walk past a construction site.
Always nice to stumble across posts you have a vague recollection of writing.
Notwithstanding, Pearl Jam is the bomb. Has anybody ever seen them live? I hear they're great live, deffo on my to-see list.
Gonna really show my age here... but in early 1991, when I was 15, I got a bootleg copy of Ten before it was available to the public (I don't know how my friend, who gave it me, got it but I didn't ask. I was a pirate way back then too!!). I had no idea they'd become so popular, I just loved the music/lyrics/style. It was a new type of music at the time.
I had it on **cough cough** cassette tape **cough**. I listened to it so much that the tape actually broke. My parents thought my Walkman (yes, walkman) headphones had become a part of my ears because I seriously listened to this album around the clock (even while sleeping).
It was the first time the music "spoke" to me and actually changed my life (at that influential age).
I didn't love most of their stuff after that album (didn't hate it) but I think I was so in love with Ten that any follow-up just felt like an imitation. Don't know.
Next month... Milton Keynes Bowl... can't wait. Seeing as Soundgarden are touring at the same time hoping for a Temple of the Dog reunion but expect it may be too much to ask.
Managed to see Soundgarden 2 years ago, decided it was best to see as many of my favourite bands as I could if the opportunity arose before they disband (in Soundgarden's case again).
"Even Flow" is still in my morning workout music mix to this very day. :cool:
Do the evolution, baby. 8-)
You can't appreciate Pearl Jam until you learn to have apprecication for them. :=

This! (nod) One of the best, craziest, most intelligent songs of the era, and quite possibly the best animated video ever.
Meh, they're okay, songs are a bit samey though. There's a greatest hits album to be made of their stuff, but other than that not much love from me. I was a bit too young when they were in their "prime" and I missed the whole grunge movement almost all together so they didn't really affect me much.

I loved the whole Heavy Metal vibe it had mixed with Warner animation style and Mignola atmosphere. I think McFarlane (Spawn creator) had something with it.
I was a teen as well when Ten came out. Back then you were a Nirvana guy or a Pearl Jam dude and I had to chose the first for social reasons. But always followed Pearl Jam in secret.
Can't say they are on my top 20 favourite bands but I do like when they go Americana. It's their habitat if you ask me.
Pearl Jam changed my life. I started playing rock music because of them with a band called... Harvester;) We even made a cover of Nothing As It Seems!
I was a huge fan of them when I was a teenager. I loved Ten, Vs and Vitalogy. But after Vitalogy I lost interest in them, or simply started listening to music less. I listened to No Code and Yield too, but somehow couldn't find the same old taste.
I should give it another go some of these days.
