Pearl Jam

Signing to a major label doesn't mean your a sell out I also could mean your getting rewarded for something you've done all your life. Showing other people that all the years touring and writing songs paid off in a sense.:hphones:
 
Well that sucks to hear... I always kinda prized Pearl Jam as a better than record live band, and the bootlegs I have kinda bore out that reputation... they really don't wanna start sucking live... they've always been a live act sorta band.
 
"Jeremy" is about a boy shooting himself in front of his whole class. "Polly" is about a girl being abducted, raped and tortured. Not really the same thing.
 
Pearl Jam are a good live band, I have their 7 disc set 'Live At The Gorge' to prove it. Sure enough, they were much better in the 90s with albums such as 'Yield' (my favourite) , 'V.S', 'Vitalogy' (which is worth buying for the weird encyclopedia inside the booklet alone) & 'No Code'. I agree the albums 'Binaural' & 'Riot Act' are probably their two weakest but they are not bad albums if you dont compare them to their previous work. I also thought that the self titled album from 2006 or so 'Avocado' or whatever people call it, was very very good from start to finish & most definitely their best since 'Yield'. I have heard they have a new album coming out this year or something? Im pretty looking forward to it, Im a pretty big fan so havent been disappointed with them at any point really.

As for 'best' Pearl Jam song, jeez theres so many to choose from. 'Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town' & 'Rearviewmirror' both come to mind though. The first two tracks that got me into Pearl Jam were 'Alive' & 'Even Flow' from the 'Ten' album which I don't rate.
