    more popular - taylor swift?
    better musically and lyrically? pearl jam

    It's not even debatable. each member of pearl jam has more musical talent then taylor could ever hope to have.  don't confuse popularity, appearance, and performer ability to be the same as musical talent.

    Say what? Taylor Swift is INSANELY musically talented.
    Yep, at spewing out the commercial, canned pop crap. No argument there
    canned pop crap? you aren't a serious music fan.

    PFFFFFFFT, i don’t care if she is the most talented musical artist ever, it is garbage to me. 
    And this from the dude that thinks the Headstones are the best band in the history of rock n roll. By the way, you were great in Mayor of Kingstown👍👍👍

    My opinion is that Taylor needs an editor. She throws a lot of music at people but she could benefit from trimming all the fat and delivering a solid 10 song album. It all just sounds so repetitive at this point, but her fans eat it up so she keeps cashing in. So glad PJ starves us a little :lol:
    She can send an album out of burps and she’ll sell more than PJ. She ain’t trying to be Pink Floyd

    Well said. She's riding this wave right now and whatever she touches will sell a billion copies.
    You really can't compare the two, they are largely targeting (pun intended) different audiences.

    I have often explained the fact that the terrible Rockwell song "Somebody's Watching Me" hit No. 3 because it featured Michael Jackson singing the chorus at a time when Michael Jackson could have recorded himself farting and reached the top ten with it. Sometimes an artist can just do no wrong... although that's a poor choice of words in the context of Michael Jackson.
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    Why? Because you’re one of the sheep that thinks he was guilty of all those bs charges?

    You sound like my classmate Tina back in the 90s when we were 11-12

    I tried to listen to a few songs and they really all sounded very similar in style.  Like sleepy teenage poems over some generic music.  I couldn’t imagine listening to 31 of those.  But hey that’s just my taste.  It’s just not for me.

    That’s gotta be before the Paste review. They gave her a 3.8. Critic was left anonymous to prevent any online hassle from her fans.

    Taylor is talented but personally I’m getting sick of her being everywhere I turn. I’d love for her to disappear for awhile. 
    Maybe she’ll stop making videos and release Who You Are as the first single soon :)
    This could be your best line ever.  Nice work!
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    1. It is PJ related

    2. It’s more fun than 99% of the questions posted here. We all saw Ed dancing at the TS concert in Seattle last year, he’s having fun, we should be having fun

    I loved the Rockwell song at the time and was not that much of a MJ fan. But it's very possible it would not have been a hit without Mike
