Nobody new/young bands rock nowadays. Its all computers. You dont see a band come out with guitars and drums and play rock and roll.

Seriously?

Seriously. What do you hear on the radio that would fall into the category of "new" "young" "good" bands that can seriously play rock and roll? By "good", I mean bands that the common public would perceive as worth buying (Itunes/Charts). After the 90s, you had bands like System of a Down, Disturbed, Incubus ect in the 2000s. All sold many records, all play musical instruments ect. Who the hell is out there now? Not trying to be a smart ass. I dont know, maybe I am just stuck in an old generation

I honestly have no idea what they play on the radio these days and I couldn't give a crap about "Itunes/Charts". Most bands that are "good" don't care about the charts either. There are tons of bands out there playing good rock 'n roll. Your idea of "good" and what is "rock 'n roll" can completely differ from my idea. I'm not a fan of the bands you mentioned. I'm also "old generation", I just love music and seek out new music every day. You just gotta search. Bandcamp is a good source. Also, once you find a good youtube video channel you can discover lots of new stuff. It almost leads you into a rabbit hole. I get surprised almost every day by new bands.

Kings of Leon and Band of Horses both had plenty of good things to say after supporting Pearl Jam on tour, does that count?

Sure. My Morning Jacket, too.

In what way have their sound been influenced by PJ?

Do they need to sound like the bands they are influenced by?

I hear ya. I guess Im just not used to having to search for good music. Usually comes to me or I hear about it through the grapevine.

Trying to help here, not be a jerk....But the problem is that you're looking for it on the radio. If you're talking about what they play on the radio, then I 100% agree with your statement.

My cup of tea is much heavier music (like in the hardcore or prog metal genre) and there are amazing bands out there who play that type of music. But I still think if your cup of tea is just good ol' rock and roll (wow, I sound like Bob Seger, ha), you can find what you're looking for outside of the radio platform.

Even on Sirius/XM Radio you would find a lot of good bands that are newer. Try like AltNation or a college radio centered channel.

Jack White..not publically i don't think..but I bet pj had influenced him in some way..

Yeah, all the stuff in the charts and radio is generally crap, in my opinion. But, it's actually gotten a lot easier to find music with this whole internet thing. I think that's why I have even more of a new music record buying problem than before. Back when I was a kid it was trust a review in a music zine, hear it at the store, see it on Mtv, or just take a chance on a cool looking album cover.

If you're into the Seattle sound, Gozu does more of a Soundgarden/AIC than PJ thing. The album took a few listens, but it's really grown on me.

You bring up a good point. I know My Morning Jacket has been influenced by PJ with their setlists, bootlegs, and the fan club. However, I'm not sure they've been musically influenced by them. I detect similar 1970s influences in MMJ's music that Pearl Jam is also influenced by.

I just feel that Pearl Jam's musical influence hasn't been that great on the industry. I feel it is too soon to even be thinking about such things. Everything I've seen and heard in the media suggests that Pearl Jam is a surefire first ballot hall-of-famer, but I haven't seen much discussion why that is the case.

I agree. I got to see Dead Weather play before Pearl Jam at ACL 2009. Ed said during the encore that" Dead Weather was fucking bad ass." They also jammed with Jack at the third man records show on this past tour.

I'm sure a lot of bands and or singers have been influenced by PJ. Just cause they don't have the same sound or sing like Eddie doesn't mean they weren't influenced.

There is so much good new music out there, but as others have said, you need to search for it. I barely touch the radio, but am listening to new music every week. Just as an example, I go through a lot of the new release albums through Apple Music (or spotify etc) every Friday when they are released (its Friday in Oz) and have a look and then a listen to those that I think will interest me. There are also suggestions on those streaming providers off what you have previously listened/liked. Some suggestions are shite, but its a great way to see what's around

I'm also a HUGE believer in checking out support bands at the gigs you go to. I can't recall ever not having watched the support act, and whilst some have definitely been terrible, I have founds some of my favourite artists through this. I discovered the Australian band Gang of Youths (check them out!!!) through Chris Cornell's solo tour. Their lead singer did a solo support of Cornell. I wen home and bought their album that night and have now seen the band live as well - GREAT show

It's out there, it's just commercial radio is shite, so you don't hear it unless you look for it

For sure Linkin Park were influenced by Pearl Jam. The whole nu metal thing started because of the rock-rap crossover album that came from the Judgement night soundtrack in the late 1990s of which Pearl Jam played a part.
Plus Linkin Park also release their concert bootlegs to their fans.

Others I can think of are: Kings of Leon, The Black Keys and Zac Brown Band.

For the purposes of this discussion it means exactly that.

Nah...I would say mostly Rage and to a lesser extent bands like Faith No More and RHCP were big springboards for the crossover.

Not denying that PJ influenced nu metal bands, but I'd look at bands that did some rocking and rapping together before I looked at a soundtrack for a movie that no one remembers.

Fair point, It was always a bit of a stretch, purely because Pearl Jam played such a small part in the Judgement Night OST anyway (I think it was mainly Stone, and pretty sure Ed had nothing to do with it). That being said, Limp Bizkit (not Linkin Park) cited it as influential to them. Of course that's not necessarily a positive thing... Being polite, I could never quite understand the popularity of Limp Bizkit myself...

Ben Harper has said that PJ were a huge influence on him ..

I agree that bands have absolutely been inspired by PJ. The reason I came looking for a discussion like this one, and I think a similar issue the op was having, is I'm having a hard time finding current bands out there that seem specifically inspired by PJ in sound, stealing riffs, the mix etc. In the way that I hear a huge mix of classic rock and punk in PJ's own unique sound, I don't hear as much PJ in sound of too many new bands. That being said, maybe I don't get out there enough and just listen to hours and hours of live boots all day hahaha. Any recommendations of other PJ-inspired bands are always welcome.

vedpunk

You guys are forgetting about Staind (Aaron Lewis has said PJ influenced them time and time again), 3 Doors Down, and unfortunately Creed and Nickelback. The last two basically ripped off circa Ten Eddie vocals.

ledvedderman

Probably one my favorite early 2000s bands, Lifehouse. I remember there being a lot of slack thrown at them for being a Pearl Jam knock off, but I've honestly never heard it.
Great band though.

cp3iverson

Linkin Park openly said that PJ influenced them greatly. Same with Taking Back Sunday, Incubus, Staind, John Mayer. Im just naming post-2000 bands. U may hate them but its interesting how different each group sounds.
