strange thread....interesting that some of you don't seem to be into pj that much anymore. i totally thought everyone on here was just given 'er on the pj front and lovin them more than ever. i am!!! and always will be. love, love, love this band, although a break is definitely needed from time to time. and thats when im into the posters!

I'm on a major PJ Sabatical right now as well.

These threads come up every so often on these boards.
Maybe i've never seen it put as bluntly as "anyone here NOT listen to Pearl Jam" ... but most of the hardcores still get burnt out from time to time ...

I remember going over a YEAR or TWO with out listening to REM at one point and they were my favorite band since i was 8 (okay, until i absolutely went ape shit for PJ around 14-15) ...

... and i have done similar for PJ ...

currently i have listened to "sad" about 3 times in the past 3 months and "Education" twice, eddie doing "ball and chain" with mike ness at CFAR once ... and a quick run through Into The Wild (yeah, i downloaded it and barely even listened to it ... dunno why even) ... okay and 2 X covers ... Poor Girl and Must Not Think Bad Thoughts.

... no Avocado, no past favorite albums ... no bsides, no great covers ... nothin ...

"ball and chain" came up cause i had some Social D stuff on my ipod, and "Sad" & Education only because i have cds lying strewn in my car but never litsen cause i have an ipod ... but put in Lost Dogs and played those two, got bored and turned on some crap on the radio.



Given your industry, i'd say it's par for the course.

Just roll with it man.

You'll be juiced when they hit a town near you.

I know that personaly, when i get to a show, i could care fuck all if it is Evenflow or Elderly Woman ... i sing a long and rock the fuck out.

I have been in love with PJ for about 15 years...always a classic never get sick of hearing them. Yes, I have alot of their music in my collection by ratio and listening time they definately dominate but I do have a shitload of other music? YES! All in all I love music, I cant deny that, but you are right there is a ton of great music out there...did I feel guilty (OMG Im no longer faithful to Pearl Jam) going to Warp Tour to check out new acts... NO! Even if you look at all the covers PJ jams to you can see a wide range of great music created by others... still in my top ten...

I always have a PJ album in the car CD player along with a variety of other stuff. I'll probably always listen to them because no other band has grabbed me by the nuts like they have.

Pretty much all of this post applies to me.

I still listen occasionally and I still love the band like no other, they are the only band that I have such an interest in beyond just the music but in terms of the music itself I have pretty much moved on. In terms of their music style PJ are definitely an anomaly in my music taste now.

I kinda sorta half agree with you....

I still listen to Pearl Jam everyday, I adore their music still.

However, I would agree that they are the only band of that era/sound i listen to anymore.

Other than Pearl Jam my favourite artists are Sigur Ros, Radiohead, Tom Waits, Deftones and Modest Mouse.

I have no time for AIC, Soundgarden/Cornell, Nirvana or Pumpkins anymore........but pearl Jam still blow me away......

Considering how much of an interest I have in Pearl Jam, it's surprising to me that I don't listen to their music that often.

I think not spinning them daily helps their music stay fresh to my ears. I do enjoy the hell out of it whenever I decide to put some of their music on, though.
