    I'm very pleased that so many of us Pearl Jammers love the Jacket. I could see 15-20 more years of touring for Pearl Jam and 25-30 more years of touring for MMJ.


    Perhaps...But have you noticed many here fail to adhere to the guidelines? top 5 not 18 :lol:



    but up there someone mentioned top 3 is easy, after that it depends on mood....To be honest, i would say that about top 1. Pearl Jam.


    The rest are dependent on mood....

    It's all good. 5 is just an easy number.

    The reason I made this thread is to see the similarities and differences with each other's tastes in music.

    Oh yeah, I'll be on the lawn getting my face melted off! I've waited 5 years for MMJ to grace the stage at Great Woods. I hope they do a small Orpheum show in between!

    Hell, I had noticed your name several times lately and was racking my brain trying to remember where it came from and suddenly it hit me just now!! Classic!!

    So I'll play along too...will keep mine to my more modern faves....
    PJ
    Driveby Truckers
    Black Keys
    Black Crowes
    Foo Fighters

    Ben Harper and MMJ could at any point move back into the top five, but currently on the outside looking in.

    All-time favorite band on the classic side would have to be The Doors.
    Also a huge fan of anything Clapton has ever done aside from the bulk of his 80s solo stuff though not all of that is bad in my book.
