So I just started listening to Pearl Jam about a week and a half ago and have fallen in love with their music! They are really good. I now have all of their studio albums except for Ten. I found a used music store locally and traded in stuff I never listen to for a bunch of their albums. They are the first group where I like their Live versions much better than the studio stuff.

Man of the Hour is easily my favorite song. All righty, that's it for now!

    Awesome! In the near future you will hear lots of praise for "Yield" on this board (which is fantastic), but let me tell you, give "Vitalogy" some open-minded spins. It takes a bit, but man oh man, you'll be glad you did when the brilliance hits you smack in the face!

    Now that's awesome to hear!

    You gotta go out and get Ten though. You probably know it's their biggest and most popular album (aside from being their debut). Some people here don't like to praise it because of it's popularity but man is it full of energy! No bad songs on that one...

    Thanks everybody! I am looking forward to spending tons of time here. When I get a little extra cash I will definitely join the Ten club.

    Vitalogy is my favorite album so far and then Vs. right behind. There are a bunch of songs that I really like. Off the top of my head: Spin the Black Circle, Small Town, Given to Fly, Daughter, Go, Even Flow and Yellow Ledbetter! I love hearing even flow live. Those extended guitar parts are unbelievable.


    I discovered the bootlegs site last night and am ridiculously hooked. Filling the Ipod already, just wish I could download the individual songs all at once instead of one song by one. It is cool to hear their old concerts from my hometown in NY.

    I am now in Phoenix and will definitely go to a concert whenever they come!

    I also want to thank Nick McIlwain from Preston and Steve on Philly's WMMR for talking about them all the time and helping decide to start listening to them. Little plug for their amazing show and podcast which you can get on ITunes. They are HILARIOUS.

    But again thanks for welcoming me to your group!

    o lord...

    take the needle out of your arm before it's too late!

    in all seriousness, i have been listening to pearl jam since they came out in 1991(i was 10 years old) and have been addicted ever since. once i turned 16 in 1998 and had my own car and means to travel it has been all downhill ever since lol. i have been to every corner of america chasing down pearl jam shows.

    heck if you want to see what pearl jam did to my life just read my bio on my music page at http://www.myspace.com/adamsmith145 . all thanks to this band, i have 2 degrees in music, i relocated from bimingham, alabama to OC/LA, california, and am a full time music composer in the video game industry. and like i said... it's all thanks to this little band we call pearl jam =)
