Other Music Obsessions

I am assuming if you are a Ten Club member and get on the forum you are as obsessed as me with Pearl Jam. I was just wondering what other bands/musical acts rival your PJ level of obsession.

As for me, Pearl Jam is my #1, then the only band close is probably Radiohead. I love them as well and am an avid collector of their music/memorabilia.

Other than those two...it really drops off.

At certain points in time Smashing Pumpkins and Wilco were on this list, but the obsession level is not there. I still follow them and like them, but not like PJ or Radiohead.

Who demands your ultimate faith and devotion, in music?
PJ: 7/5/1998 - Dallas*; 9/1/1998 - Atlanta; 9/3/1998 - Birmingham; 8/7/2000 - Atlanta; 10/18/2000 - Lubbock*; 10/20/2000 - Albuquerque; 6/9/2003 - Dallas; 10/4/2008 - Austin; 4/8/2016 - Sunrise; 4/9/2016 - Miami
EV: 7/15 & 7/16/2011 - Seattle; 11/09 & 11/11/2012 - Austin

    There are many bands I really really love, but obsess over? Other than PJ (my forever #1!), that would be DMB and Foo Fighters, in that order.

    Qotsa and everything JHo related, like the Desert Sessions ...There is a lot of other music going on in my life, but PJ and Qotsa are the two bands I follow a bit more and the ones where I joined the fan clubs. But I wouldn't say I'm obsessed. I just like them a lot :shifty:
    Please, Pearl Jam, consider a Benaroya Hall vinyl reissue! http://community.pearljam.com/discussion/148993/please-pearl-jam-consider-a-vinyl-benaroya-hall-re-issue

    Back in the 90s I would have said Dave Matthews Band, fell out of love with them 10 years ago though. Would have said Thrice a couple years ago but since they broke up...

    Probably the next in line would be The Gaslight Anthem.
    Forced to endure, what I cannot forgive.

    What is it about Alabama Shakes? Never heard anything by them, but read a lot and heard a lot of comments, I watched their show at El Festival Mas Grande before PJ, they sounded like a cover band... I didn't like that band...

    I have been obsessed with different bands, and to different levels, over time. Where I basically had to have all their studio albums, know all its band members, all their side projects, etc. Besides Pearl Jam I would say

    REM
    Tool
    Nine Inch Nails
    Neil Young
    Radiohead
    Pink Floyd
    And quite a few Argentine bands

    I had a big obsession with old Marillion, old Roxy Music, King Crimson, old Genesis and Peter Gabriel too. The kind of obsession that starts after you hear a song that completely blows your mind away, and you say to yourself,wait a minute, who are these guys, why have I not heard them before? How have I missed them all this time?

    Currently: The Alabama Shakes.
    I am just a dreamer, but you are just a dream...
    If I knew where it was I would take you there.

    I loved them at the Festival. It is hard to explain why some music reaches you, speaks to you. But I think it comes down to her voice and soul. It just got to me.

    No se, javis, es dificil de explicar porque un cierto tipo de musica te llega o no, pero ese fue el caso con los Alabama Shakes, para mi.

    Obivously PJ is Numero Uno.

    The only older band I really listen to regularly is The Black Crowes. I do have a lot of The Doors, Zep, Floyd, G&R, Rush and Bruce that find their way into the rotation.

    Of the newer bands, it would be:
    The Airborne Toxic Event
    Grace Potter
    Gaslight Anthem
    Edward Sharpe
    Trombone Shorty
    Zack Brown Band
