I don't really know where I'd put them in my top five. Or whether they'd be in my top five bands at all. Here's about how far down they are in the list.
1. The Black Keys
2. The Red Sun Band
3. Rolling Stones
3. Led Zeppelin
5. Darkest Hour
6. The Hives
6. The Subways 6. Pearl Jam
I obviously older than most of the folks who have posted on this thread - I was around for the late 1960's and early 1970's and have seen some of the great bands of all time live: Zepplin, Who, Genesis (w/ and w/o P Gabriel, Allman Brothers (W/Duane) Springsteen (Pre Born in USA 3 and post 2) Pink Floyd, Grateful Dead (with Garcia), Dylan. Also saw the Stones - which in my humble opinion are the most over rated band in the history of Rock.
Saw Pearl Jam for the first time earlier this year and was blown away.
My list:
1. Pearl Jam
2. Led Zepplin
3. Springsteen and E Street
4. Pink Floyd
5. tie Allman Brothers and early Genesis
active bands:
1. pj
2. phish (wouldn't have been on this list a few weeks ago)
3. widespread panic (not the same without houser but can't drop em cause of that)
4. mmj
5. 311
if we're going all time it'd look like this
1. pj
2. dead
3. phish
4. string cheese incident
5. bob marley
I love Pearl Jam! Anyone around me will tell you I listen to them too much. Been hooked since the Alive video. That said I don't know if I can squeeze them in my top 5 bands ever.
1. Led Zeppelin
2. The Beatles
3. Pink Floyd
4. The Who
5. Pearl Jam
tough question....numbers 2-50 change all the time!
1 Pearl Jam

Troubled Souls Unite
Pearl Jam is #1.
I'd have to put Beatles and The Doors in there, but I can't really go beyond that unless the list was bigger. After #3 the list would vary too much depending on the day. Five just isn't a good number for a band list imo. It should be shorter or way longer.
"I'd rather be with an animal." "Those that can be trusted can change their mind." "The in between is mine." "If I don't lose control, explore and not explode, a preternatural other plane with the power to maintain." "Yeh this is living." "Life is what you make it."
