Favorite Band

rick1zoo2

just as I have three sons and there is no way any could be my favorite, so it goes for bands, there are many that I enjoy a lot, but I have no reason to declare any of them my favorite, for me it's not a competition

I honestly can't answer this question. There are so many bands I love. It used to be Pearl Jam, by a huge margin. But, in recent years... I have begun to give them less attention. I still love them dearly, but I'm in no way close to being as "obsessed" with Pearl Jam as I was even 2 years ago. I found myself limiting my taste and listening to way too much PJ and not enough of anything else... so I forced myself to branch out. I of course still put on some PJ every now and then...

At this time though, it comes down to The Replacements & Ryan Adams (and everything he has done)

I still love you Pearl Jam.

Same. I'd still consider them my favorite band but for different reasons now. 2 years ago they were my favorite band simply because I thought they wrote the best music of any band. Now they're my favorite band because they simply stood the test of time with me. Even though I don't listen to them nearly as much, I still get a big rush when I decide to. I don't necessarily think they're the "best" anymore in that typical aspect... they're just a band that I have always loved and are in a special place to me.

Theres just toooo much music out there to limit myself to only PJ bootlegs. I listen to so much different music now and I love it... a shitload of indie music, (electronic, rock, combination of the two, "chillwave", etc) some dub step, more classic rock than I used to listen to, some rap every once in a blue moon, and what other sub genres exist.

uninnocent-

Most of the time it's Alice in Chains or Nine Inch Nails. Sometimes Pearl Jam sneaks into first, especially around tour time.

You summed this up very well. I love Pearl Jam for basically the exact same reasons. I also love PJ because they changed me as a music listener and as a person. I owe them a lot of respect for that, and that is why I will always love Pearl Jam, even if I do neglect listening to them for a while, my appreciation and adoration for them will always be in my heart.

+1 Simply amazing. One of the most overlooked bands of the 90s and really all time. Takes a great band to cover so much musical ground, yet have it come out so naturally while maintaining a signature sound.
