The brussel sprout, when prepared properly is an excellent side dish.

When prepared with bacon, yes.
Otherwise I'm not so sure.

Yes, my sister manages to make a really good baked brussel sprouts dish with bacon. I really enjoy it. Besides that, they're horrible.

Ask Squee and Donkey Kong Doug, they have their ways

After "breaking up" with Pearl Jam in 2000 post-Binaural (it wasn't them, it was ME), I found my way back to them last year with the HOF induction. Riot Act and subsequent albums were on heavy rotation afterward. Went to Fenway 1 in Sep and have a newfound appreciation for the group and their music. With that said,
- other than Mind Your Manners, Lightning Bolt is a whole lot of nothing
- Backspacer overtook Vs as my 2nd fave album (Ten reigns supreme...mostly for nostalgic reasons)
- if Eddie is going to talk as much as he does during shows, they should play for at least 3+ hours. Otherwise, more music please.
- if I had a Men In Black mind erasing pen thingie, I would use it to remove Yellow Ledbetter from existence. I dread that song
- I wish the Lost Dogs' version of Alone was on Vs. The additional 3 minutes wouldn't have killed the album, only enhanced it
- they do play too many covers live. One or two would be just fine
- I love the Judgement Day movie soundtrack and really wish to see or hear PJ play The Real Thing live with Cypress Hill

Wait a minute....where's your usual post where you chastise members for not staying on topic?

Excellent!  Carry on.

I have no interest in Pearl Jam branded clothing aside from tour shirts.

I'm going to word this carefully and pull some punches......

I do not care for the music of Andy Wood and Mother Love Bone. 

Very few people would if it weren’t for Pearl Jam 

I have to draw my line right here. Back-asswards   Without Andrew Wood and Mother Love Bone, very few people would have heard of Pearl Jam.

I don't understand how this makes sense .... Pearl Jam wouldn't exist if Andy Wood hadn't died, so saying what you just said seems illogical, at least on this particular space time continuum, lol. 
If you're trying to suggest that the reason PJ became to successful was because Andy Wood's name and the name/reputation of his band created recognition for Pearl Jam, I couldn't disagree with you more. But as this is an unpopular opinions thread, that is a-okay, haha.

That's real close to my point but you failed to mention the other guys in Mother Love Bone that were signed, touring, and making great music. All that band needed was a new singer. If Andrew Wood wasn't a once in a million they could have replaced him and there would be no Pearl Jam.

Brussel sprouts are quite excellent roasted when tossed with some olive oil and sea salt.

I've tried, I really have, but the vaunted '06 Grand Rapids bootleg sucks, even though the setlist is great. Just doesn't sound very good. Ed's voice is too thin on the vocals and the mix is subpar.

Well prepared brussel sprouts > evil little goat > poorly prepared brussel sprouts

- The first five records are the big five.
- Pendulum is the best show opener and Yellow Leadbetter is the best ending
- Take the best songs from Binaural, Riot Act and S/T and make one great record out of them.
- I never get tired of Ten, but Vs. and Yield are better.
- Nirvana should definitely do a reunion tour with John McCauley.
- McCready's solos live on Even Flow and Black allways give me the chills.

That doesn't make the point about not many people today would care about MLB if it wasn't for PJ back-asswards.
