Not comparing it to other shitty band names just saying it doesn't hit you like Guns and Roses, Metallica, Smashing Pumpkins, even something like 311. And there are many others.
hmmm. Metallica? seriously, you think that's an example of a GREAT band name? and 311? what is that, an area code? and I love, love, love, smashing pumpkins - but that's a really cheesy band name.
PEARL JAM IS PERFECT IN EVERY WAY.
Not to dis..but why is it perfect? Ok then how about some of the classics Led Zeppelin, The Doors, 3 dog night.

what you're calling classic band names you're confusing with classic bands music. Yes the doors, led zep etc. made great music but that doesn't mean that their name is "classic" it's just your opinion...jesus this thread is dumb...

i was exaggerating a bit, hence the smiley face. but i have always like the name Pearl Jam, even back before I became a diehard. I didn't really get hooked big time until Vitalogy came out - but even before that I thought PJ was a cool rock band name. i don't know, never struck me as anything to be embarrassed about, that's for sure.
i think the doors, zeppelin, 3 dog night are great band names. I think The Who is one of the absolute best band names. Nirvana is an amazing band name. Lots of great ones, some really stupid ones. like i have never liked calling your band by your name. ie, "The Dave Mathews Band" I mean, come on how uncreative can you get? At least do something like Neil Young AND Crazyhorse or Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. Don't just call yourself the freaking My First Name My Last Name Band. super boring and uninspiring.
I love the name Pearl Jam...much better than Mookie Blaylock!
Ill give you that one.

Does anyones else dislike the name Pearl Jam as the bands name? When I talk about them to others that aren't fans I feel like the name is almost silly. :oops:

on a side note, i am a bit embarrassed to tell people my favorite rhythm guitarist is named Stone Gossard. What kind of name is Stone, anyway? And Gossard makes me think he's like some kind of Goose/Human hybrid.
j/k by the way. my first born son's middle name is Stone.

I truly and honestly believe Pearl Jam stacks up well against them. Oddly, I think hearing the real story of the name made it even better in my mind. It's an epic name somehow, and among the best I've heard... I think it sounds cooler than the beatles, u2, and any number of other famous names. it sounds kick ass.

well Stone does do that little duck walk thing when he plays on stage...

Actually, when I first heard their name, I assumed that it was a pseudonym for splooge and I thought they got one over on the record company and the public. So...there you have it, Pearl Jam are some dirty sexual scoundrels!

both of you just got me rollin'!!!! That was hilarious!!!!!!!!
I honestly think it is one of the coolest names ever... especially knowing the meaning behind it... always thought it was cool from the get go... in fact it has always been synonymous with the standard of cool for me.
I always liked the double meaning of the word Jam... kinda indicative of the band to use a name that is a bit cryptic and has different levels of meaning... I like how there is a depth of meaning to the name but it doesn't show from the surface... Pearls are considered to be some of the most beautiful things created in nature... but they are formed over time and from waste (apparently)... so I think putting the name Pearl Jam is such a beautiful fucking kickass name....
I'm just glad they didn't choose Pearl Necklace (yes I know what it is) as a name, or Jam Jar, or Strawberry Jam, or Pearly Whites.
I've met a lady a few times who is called Pearl Lace, which I quite like. Although that would remind me of that group Black Lace, think that was in the 80's and they were very crap.
Didn't know that was the meaning of Mother Love Bone, mmm, bit strange.
Never really thought too much about it I guess, that's just what they were called.
Hmm, never really though much of it, just figured a name is a name. I never thought of it as splooge either until I heard it refered to as 'pearl jam'.
The name Swollen Members used to always get a chuckle or two from people many years ago, but I think most are over that.
I really like Pearl Jam (name and band ). always have.
even if I didn't know all the stories, true and made up, behind the name I would still like it. I think it sort of sticks out (not in a bad what-the-fuck-does-that-mean manner), it's easy to remember, easy to say. it's easy on the eyes too.
certainly much better than Mookie Blaylock.

My vote for the best band with the silliest name goes to.......
Pink Floyd.
C'mon, if they weren't such psychedelic kingpins, no one would ever stop laughing at that name.
