I spend most of my day listening to music. I was wondering what other "like minded" Pearl Jam fans listen to when they're not listening to Pearl Jam. I was hoping to get some new ideas and besides the obvious favorites; Soundgarden, AIC, Nirvana, REM, The Beatles, Beck, The Pixies, STP, Tool, Pavement, Radiohead, Green Day, Elvis, Queen, Led Zepplin, Weezer, etc! I'd like to share some of my other favorites with everyone. I hope you'll check out any you may not be familiar with, you might be surprised! Enjoy...

Top Ten Bands... (After Pearl Jam)

1. of Montreal
2. Bonnie "Prince" Billy (Will Oldham)
3. Sugar and Gold
4. Joanna Newsom
5. Iron and Wine
6. The Apples in Stereo
7. Modest Mouse
8. Gil Mantera's Party Dream
9. Neutral Milk Hotel
10. Built to Spill

Honorable Mention:
1. The Go! Team
2. The Gossip
3. MGMT
4. She and Him
5. Santigold
6. Mates of State
7. Regina Spektor
8. Ratatat

    I'll agree on Aerosmith, but why do you think the Stones are overrated? Exile on Main St, Some Girls, Sticky Fingers - all classics!

    Is it that they are overrated or you don't like them? In terms of musical impact and accomplishments, the Stones are light years ahead of Aeorsmith.
