That was nice to see they deserve it, such an awesome album.......Only 19 more days till I see them.
Who cares if the world is going down the toilet? Eddie Vedder got his mojo back!

    This is great until you realize that they were second only to Bon Jovi.

    I guess it's all in when you decide to release your album... I mean, Modest Mouse debuted at #1 but in the long run I think it's safe to say that Icky Thump will sell considerably more than the Modest Mouse album.

    But it's always been that way, I mean just look at Nevermind vs Ten. Nevermind got all the attention for being #1 but Ten has crushed it long-term.

    album sales dont equal musical integrity or greatness.

    being a fan of a band as irrelevant as pj is in the industry you should know this,
    Let's not be negative now. Thumper has spoken

    I completely agree and didn't intend for it to sound that way.

    I was basically just pointing out that a commercially less successful band opened at #1 when the more "popular" band didn't.

    And the fact that I mentioned how Bon Jovi was #1 should have put to rest any notion that sales = greatness. :D
