    musically/vocally/stylistically, the band that imo is most similar to PJ would be the Screaming Trees. except since the Screaming Trees came first, it would be PJ who is similar to them, and not vice versa.

    good point, if a band releases one song that doesn't fit, they cannot sound like pearl jam. let's take it one further and if they have different songs, they can't be used in this thread eh?

    silverchair is a pretty straightforward classic rock band that dabbles into various different styles now and again.

    blech to silverchair or to classic rock? im guessing you're basing your opinion on the only silverchair single you've heard since tomorrow?

    the closest answer really, maybe Soundgarden too. When the single Plush came there were many (casual fuckers) who thought they were PJ.

    Bands that come to mind that blow ass in my opinion:

    Creed
    Seven Mary Three

    Bands that come to mind that I like:

    Incubus
    Stone Temple Pilots (Core definitely had a PJ edge to it)
    Govt. Mule (all of these are probably a stretch)

    I agree though that for the most part Pearl Jam are original and there are no close comparisons.

    Silverchair's first two albums Frogstomp and Freak Show rock pretty hard. I want to give good mention to Alter Bridge. Their self produced 2007 album Blackbird is stunning. Mark and Myles have collaborated in harmonious beauty.

    Dont understand why people keep naming bands, none of these bands really sound like them. The closest to PJ's older records would probably be STP or Soundgarden but I dont even think those sound much like them. No use in just naming a bunch of random bands.

    While that may be a credit to Pearl Jam, it sure is sad for a music fan lol

    are PJ/STP/Soundgarden the only 3 bands you've ever listened to? as I mentioned on the first or second page, PJ is very much like Screaming Trees, in every facet. Soundgarden sounds nothing whatsoever like PJ and I've never heard any comparisons other than them being both from Seattle. outside of some of Wieland's vocals on the first STP album, there are no comparisons to STP either. STP's music is nothing close to PJ stylistically.

    but don't say "none of these bands sound like them". PJ's first 2 or 3 albums sound EXACTLY like Screaming Trees albums, particularly the album "Sweet Oblivion". if you don't see that comparison, you're a dumbass.
