Edit: The subject should say "Jet ARE a better band than Pearl Jam." My apologies to all grammatically offended. By the way, have yourself a Zima with a Jolly Rancher and shut the fuck up.

Anyway, Jet rock out, don't think they are the saviors of rock, and frankly don't give a fuck if you think that they're derivative of their influences, because what band isn't?

JET rule. A band of drunks a la Oasis who simply don't care what anyone (my guess this includes message board people) thinks and just do what they do.

An Oasis/Jet/Buckcherry bill would just slay. They could call it the "You're All A Bunch Of Bloody Fookin' Wankas!" tour. ANd I'd definitely go.

Discuss.

    hmmm comparing a band that has been around for 16 years to a band that well...hasn't. a band that hasn't had the chance to get comfortable in their own skin. a band that has only put out 2 full length albums.
    dont get me wrong i do love JET. have since i first heard them. but to call them the saviours of rock is just a tad preposterous.
    for the past 5 years ive watched JET's evolution from australian pub band to international rockstars. i've seen them in small venues and huge festivals. ive had my ears blown out by them and been disappointed as they were blown off the stage by wolfmother.
    in 39 days i get to see them again in a small venue. with me will be my JET loving nearly 8 year old. this is a child who thought that are you gonna be my girl? was written for her. and that was when she was 3. i wish such good things for this band, probably cause they're australian and so am i. but in the end it doesn't matter what other people think. all that matters is that i get pleasure from their music.
    hear my name
    take a good look
    this could be the day
    hold my hand
    lie beside me
    i just need to say

    Jet is one of those bands that makes me want to throw up. They have absolutely nothing to contribute to music, and should simply go away. It is mindless cock-rock.
    It makes much more sense to live in the present tense.

    Jet is easily one of the best bands of the new millenium..........that beind said, the new millenium pretty much sucks for rock music and Pearl Jam is a much better and more successful band.

    Hasn't Jet's latest (2nd) cd fallen off the face of the earth? After it's release and seeing the new video a couple of times I haven't heard anything buzz about them. Either there record label aint' standing behind them or they are the new Spacehog

    I am a fan of mindless cock rock, including both Oasis and Buckcherry. Both those bands are completely derivative and I don't care. Somehow, JET still pisses me off. This makes no sense, and if anything it speaks to how subjective musical taste can be.

    I do agree with His Fanchiness that there is room in the world for big dumb fun music.
    It is time to admit that we used to rock like hurricanes. It is time to run for the hills and go round and round. It is time for us to shout at the devil. We've got the right to choose it, there ain't no way we'll lose it, and we're not gonna take it anymore.

    it might be the commercials. i think ive heard at least 2-3 of their songs on various commercials and that does kinda annoy me.

    jet, yea im not a fan of them.
    comparing jet to pj doesnt make any sence to me.
    lets just start with both bands names.
    jet, what kinda name is that for a band?
    pearl jam, a pritty good name for a frickin band man.
    then lets talk about albums and stuff.
    jet, i own zero jet albums, dont even know a jet albums title
    nor do i want to.
    i hear jet on a seattle bad ass radio station that kicks ass.
    what i hear of jet on their doesnt do much for me at all.
    pearl jam, lots of albums, studio/live/lotsa maxi cd singles, dvd's.
    but to each their own and good luck to jet in the future.
    they are rock and that kicks ass.

    I think Jet is totally lame. another poppy band that won't be around in two or three more years.

    and you were right the first time when you typed "Jet is a better band than PJ" as your thread title. it's not "Jet are a better band" Jet is singular even though there are more than one person in the band. it the band was called the "The Jets" then you'd use "are."

    but none of that matters, you think Jet is better than Pearl Jam and that is just silly.
