    my wife hates them. Ok, some of that is due to my obsession with the band, but in general she realy doesn't care about them. See the 2002 Key Arena show that she slept through. Other than that we've got very similar musical taste. She tends to skew more to the punk/ska side of things, but there are a ton of other bands we share mutual admiration for. Music is all about taste, and in a lot of cases, you either like it or you don't. She just happens to be wrong here...

    my girlfriend hates them, too. Like you, my obsession doesn't help matters. Alot of it has to do with the fact that she worked at a bar for the better part of the '90's and got really sick of hearing Ten and Vs on the jukebox. Funny thing is, I used to go to the bar she worked at before we met, and I probably had alot to do with PJ playing on that jukebox. I've never taken her to a show and I don't play them around her much. When they're on Conan, Letterman or SNL, she'll watch with me but that's as far as it goes. In her opinion, they're too angry. The strange thing is, she loves Into the Wild. I can't quite explain that.

    I find it very surprising how small of a teenage fan base they have. I have tried converting many of my musical friends, but they find them boring, which I dont understand. I tell them to listen to the lyrics but they all put greater importance on the instruments, which still doesn't make sense because the band are all kickass musicians. I guess because my age group is supposed to be rebellious my peers think that incoherent screaming and grunting is cool.

    Too many teenagers like the sort of crap that's coming out today, simple as that. Bands like Good Charlotte etc. My 15 year old likes a lot of crap, but she loves PJ and is coming to see them with me (for the third time). Fact is PJ are quality and teenagers go for the crappy sound. They'll grow up eventually and realise what a shame it was they missed the good music back in these days. People who hate PJ - feel sorry for them that they're missing out on the best music around. It's their funeral, not ours.

    most of my students have no idea who Pearl Jam is. I had a sticker on my board and a kid asked if that was a band and I said yes. He then told me that his dad has all their records. I felt real old. I once had a kid analyze the lyrics to Black for part of a poetry project, but I'm not sure if she actually knew the song or was trying to kiss my ass because I told the kids PJ was my favorite band.

    I know a few people who don't like pearl jam. Several of them cite ed's voice as the reason for their dislike. Another guy who is in the music industry finds their ticket prices hypocritical after they spent all that time fighting ticketmaster. He also says they haven't made a decent album since Yield. Although I disagree with that somewhat, their output has been rather uninspiring at times since Yield. I think that was their last home run so to speak. I don't have a problem with people disliking them. People are entitled to their opinions and it's not worth getting bent out of shape over.

    NEWSFLASH!!!!!! Not everyone has the same music tastes and if someone does not like PJ it does not mean they have a bad taste in music.
