Pearl Jam
That Jane's Addiction and Nine Inch Nails are on the road reliving 1991 seems even more embarrassing when you consider that Pearl Jam is filling stadiums by forsaking nostalgia. They do a few hits at their shows, but it's their reputation for the unexpected that moves tickets — and bootlegs. Pearl Jam is the new new Grateful Dead.

    Not quite, #1 but one of 9 acts a man should see according to Esquire. It is pretty cool considering the other bands are far from the status quo that most mags would have pumped out (i.e. U2, Springsteen blah blah....)

    Where are they named #1?

    How could they not be with the rest of those bands?

    I'll be curious to check out some of the bands I've missed so far.

    For what it's worth, though, both Bon Iver and The Black Keys are well worth the price of admission. I'd go to see a show featuring either of them any day.

    I think the dig at NIN/Jane's Addiction was a bit uncalled for, I saw them both last week and they (NIN in particular) were amazing.

    Another Grateful Dead reference I love it. :)
