Pearl jam is better than the beetles and rolling stone.

Did you seriously just say that the Beatles weren't talented?! The Beatles were and still are music legends. Nsync, Gaga, etc are merely fads who die out in a few years if they're lucky. There's a reason the Beatles are my favorite band even though I was born almost 20 yrs after they're last album. It's because they're amazing Do yourself a favor and listen to ALL of their albums (my favorites are Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band, White Album, and Help!).

Fixed

To sum it up: The Beatles were the '60s.

Anyway, I only know the Beatles through commercial/media/movies etc...I never actually listened to any of their albums just songs through these outlets. But when people say they are the band of the 60s in that EVERYONE listened to them...is that similar to how everyone listened to N Sync in the late 90s or Britney Spears in 2000s or some hip hop rtist that I am sure has been really big and is always played at the clubs and all over radio that I cannot even think of because I hate that kind of music?!

They're that good. I think it's similar to how everybody loved PJ in the early 90s and now only the people who have discovered their greatness follow them, it's just that so many more people have and will always see the genius in The Beatles' music.

The Beatles mop the floor from a musicianship standpoint with PJ and almost every other band. It's funny how everybody says they're overrated, but musical depth in their music is constantly overlooked.

Really good analysis about their musicianship. Listen to John's playing on All My Loving, it's that good but overlooked.

I think they were one of the first white groups to say they were influenced by Motown and influenced by R&B acts like Little Richard. On their early work, they managed to blend rock and R&B into one.

The three bands are different styles of music.

i like more noisy rock as PJ music and the Who in his time.

Im 38.

Listen to all the Beatles and RS albums, really dont like the Beatles too sweet for me.

RS is good rock music.

Cheo Ramirez

i like u2 more than Beatles and RS

Pearl Jam is MY all greatest band, period. I understand the Beatles and Rolling Stones deserve a ton of respect, to me they are bands my parents listened to. To each their own, an opinion is never wrong.

fisttothejaw

why, oh why... why am I reading and responding to a thread that is only going to make my stomach hurt?

Go listen to Yesterday, Martha My Dear, Helter Skelter, In My Life, and try to tell me the Beatles weren't absolutely untouchable.

I love Pearl Jam, but good Lord. Gain some perspective, please.

FrankY59

Sooo if I was going to begin my road down Beatles Lane...what do I do?! I just downloaded Beatles ONE album, after some very limited research.

I'm sick of everybody mentioning these two bands when it comes to 'greatest band ever' arguments. I get it, the beetles wrote let it be and shit- so what, pearl jam wrote black, yellow Ledbetter and even flow- boom that just happened. Fuck off losers, pearl win based on the fact that they have more talent. The end

While you are at it. Don't forget Led Zeppelin, Grateful Death, Pink Floyd, The Who - or, wait, Townsend and all... Maybe there is no such thing as "greatest band", but only different ways of expression?

pearl jam is my favorite band. EVER. I am who I am because of this band.

However pj aint got nothing on the stones or the beatles. Its as simple as that!

That is a good way to put it. I'm not going to argue Beatles quality, but they are too mellow for me (yeah I know some of the songs rock more), and I personally enjoy listening to Pearl Jam way more. From the 60's I like the Who better. It's almost pointless to argue taste.

Well I'm definitely more into PJ than the stones or beatles thats for sure

iOnlyownMymind

I can't believe I'm even reading this thread when The Beatles isn't even spelled right in the thread title.

Agreed. Start with the #1's.

If FrankY59 likes what he hears and wants to move on to the albums, probably start with Rubber Soul.

Pearl Jam is a great band, but IMO don't compare to The Beatles. They have put out some amazing albums over the past 20 years, but look at what The Beatles put out in half the time, how they evolved musically, and single handedly influence the path of music. When "Tomorrow Never Knows" was released on Revolver most artists of the time started reevaluating their music. Just insane how influential they were.

I agree with covering "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"....that would be just amazing.

I would go White Album, revolver, Rubber Soul, Abbey Road, magical mystery tour, then wherever. You really can't go wrong. That order will just begin to give you the breadth of their genius. I think we could all argue which is their best album. Theyre all so good for different reasons. I just think that combination introduces you to the widest variety of their many incarnations.
