    I don't want to start anything but as someone who likes Radiohead almost as much as Pearl Jam, some of the above posts are difficult to read.

    I can understand someone who doesn’t like Radiohead but does love Pearl Jam.  That’s what makes Pearl Jam so brilliant.  They cover a wide range of music tastes.  Radiohead is more niche.
    I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on.

    Radiohead is definitely one of those bands where you're either really into them or just can't wrap your head around them.
    Or they just don’t like theirmusic. Radiohead is still very much a rock band at heart, even at their bleepy bloopiest, not some high art worthy of such snobbery.

    I couldn’t disagree more with your implication that PJ has a more diverse catalog. Just not sure how anyone could make that claim.

    I’m not claiming PJ’s catalog is more diverse. I’m saying their music is more palatable to fans with different tastes in music.  Whether you’re more Indie/Alternative or Hard Rock/Metal, PJ seems to reach both of those sides.  I do agree that Radiohead is very much a rock band, but I can understand why someone would have a tough time settling in with them.

    I think both bands (PJ and RH) are fantastic but their music has definitively taken different trajectories. I think the main difference for me is that I find myself going back to Pearl Jam's older stuff (especially their first two albums) much more than their more recent work while with Radiohead I don't tend to listen to their first two albums all that much these days but will quite frequently give later albums like In Rainbows and A Moon Shaped Pool a spin.

    To attempt to get back on track, STP is (was?) indeed solid. I regret never taking the time to see the original band perform.

    I’d agree PJ is more palatable to your average fan of rock music, but I think the band with the vastly broader scope would appeal to a wider audience.

    They were great, I’d say they’re solid now. Can’t fault them for carrying on and they can put together some songs that hang with the weakest efforts pre-hiatus.

    One thing I do know for sure if that both PJ and RH can VERY quickly sell out two nights at the ACC (er, Scotia Bank Place) in Toronto. Both must be palatable to a lot of people. :)

    Technically I guess this should count as a vote for TLC... but it's really a vote for the magnificence of Greg Dulli and co, the masters of the cover version

    Both bands, and STP for that matter, are brilliant.  I also agree with the earlier comment about liking RH later stuff than the earlier.  My favorite record of theirs is In Rainbows. 
    Back on track to STP...I fell off after they kicked Weiland out of the band for the second time.  I was more captivated by his lead vocals than I was by the guitars and drums.  He was incredibly versatile.
    I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on.

    I enjoy the love for TLC here.  My favorite era of music is the early 90’s.  Just about every genre of music was clicking at this time.
