    Here's the thing: I've never quite understood all the fuss about DMB. I kinda like the songs, but they just don't "speak" to me if ya know what I mean. Listenable but largely, with a few exceptions, generally forgettable. Tight band, great musicians, but Dave's voice is pretty friggin' annoying ya gotta admit. I've seen them live twice with my g/f and I'm not proud to say that I fell asleep at both. That's never happened with any other band (and COULDN'T happen at a PJ concert)!

    I have never gotten DMB. I once bought a live CD set Listener Supported I believe. I love the songs on there and realize they have a good flow. I just have never listened to a DMB album. They kind of remind me of the Dead. One sound and that somewhat annoying voice. Pearl Jam has about 10 sounds and the way they blend songs live is awesome. Live on Two Legs is a great CD as is Backspacer. I really think Backspacer is the best Pearl Jam album since Binaural. I can say I have never listened to a DMB studio album so I maybe missed the point of the original post.

    Really? I'm a DMB fan, more of a fan after I saw them live. Their drummer is mind-blowing.

    Can't stand DMB. Can't stand his fans either. They were my high school's most annoying, preppy, Abercrombie and Fitch pre-distressed hat-wearing jerk-offs and I'll never forgive DMB for giving them something else to bond over besides tennis and golf.

    I am moved with the support to Backspacer in this thread from the time of release. How that turned to today's negative sentiment, God knows.

    As someone said, DMB and PJ are apples and oranges. DMB emphasis will be on long jam sessions while PJ will be about passionate, intensive, mind-blowing music.
    What's your part, who you are?

    No comparison, they are not in the same class. DMB is for chicks, and they suck ass.

    I liked Backspacer a lot when it came out.
    It just couldn't stand the test of time.

    Early Dave is phenomenal but they fell off real hard in the '00s for me. That being said, I thought this one was one of their top 3 and best in well over a decade.

    And love 'em or hate /em....Carter is one of the best drummers ever. Familiarize yourself with him if you haven't yet. That guy can kill it.
