Ten is a great album. Vs less so, from then onwards I just lost interest.

 

Also look out for Temple of the Dog, twas not a bad effort for a cobbled together band and of course with Cornell and Vedder together you don't go too far wrong.

 

What he said ^

There is no way on Gods clean Earth that Pearl Jam were a patch on Nirvana though.

Lol i guess we shall have to disagree! it is a shame though with what happened to Kurt because they could of really gone on and made some more brill albums, Out of the PJ stuff though, obv Ten was amazing, but the live albums are always a safe buy for me

Yeah, its all about opinions mate, Ten was a very good album, no doubt about that. I just think that Nirvana cocked their leg all over Pearl Jam, as did a few other bands of the same genre.

Pearl jam along with Alice in Chains are underrated bands. Ten and Dirt as albums equals anything Nirvana ever came out with in my opinion.

 

Pearl Jam is also an amazing Live band, and the best live band i`ve seen along with Audioslave. Go buy the Live at the Garden dvd as proof.

 

Great stuff!

Dead right.

 

It's too difficult for me to split the two bands in terms of who was better but can you imagine the awesomeness of a Vedder / Cobain collaboration? The idea is mindblowing.

Would never have happened in a gazillion years, even if Kurt hadn't taken the 'mindblowing' notion literally.

I think Pearl Jam are a band I should maybe give another go, as in the early 90s I always heard them as an overproduced, sanitised Nirvana with a singing foghorn as vocalist. I'm definitely missing something.

15 years later, and I still need to give them another go.

Just got through on the presale for their latest tour. 
 

£160 a ticket! Fucking scandalous. I like them but I’ve seen them a few times already so won’t be paying those absolutely extortionate prices. 

 

Mudhoney are 27 and a half euro in Den Haag and still comfortably the best band that came out of Green River.

I paid £56 to see King Crimson in 2014 and said to myself that was the most I'd ever pay. For £160, I'd be wanting a time machine to go & see The Who in 1970 or something.

 

With regards Pearl Jam, I could never get past his singing.
