Recomend Me Some Bands Simlar To Pearl Jam

facepollution

Live were always touted as sounding like Pearl Jam playing REM's music. Their later stuff has been shit, but Throwing Copper is an absolute masterpiece.

Sponge : Debut album 'Rotting Pinata' is very much a bandwagon jumping grunge rip-off album - but along with The Stone Temple Pilots 'Core' it's one of the better rip offs (unlike Creed, Bush for example!). But also like the Stone Temple Pilots after the debut the band found their own sound with the second album 'Wax Ecstatic' and by Third album 'New Pop Sunday' is a fantasic rock record laced with lovely pop melody.

The Who : Obvisously a huge influence on PJ, i'd say their Debut and 'Who's Next' are the best albums.

Someone mentioned 'Throwing Copper' by 'Live' i'd also suggest 'Naveed' by 'Our Lady Peace' - who like 'Live' have become utter shite in recent years.

Not soundalikes but for pure vibe and in a category of 'serious' music I would have to say:

Neil Young,Bob Dylan,Jeff Buckley,Grant Lee Buffalo,Gil Scott-Heron and John Martyn.They are all shit hot in my eyes!!

I think you're going to have to more clearly define what you're seeking in order to find it.

......

You see how this can quickly become too broad a question?

I agree with you, it is a broad question. I would also suggest looking at the rest of the "Seattle Sound" and PJ's roots as well. Green River, Mother Love Bone, Mudhoney, Tad, and (of course) Nirvana basically round out the Seattle bands. I enjoy listening to Green River then MLB then PJ to see the progression of the music. I also do the same with Green River and Mudhoney. It's interesting to see what carries over from band to band.

Also, if we're gonna list influences, Sonic Youth is a worthy band to check out.

King's X is a band you should check out now. Pearl Jam are fans of this band.

This would be a good place to start for that.

I always thought the early STP was a pretty good rip off of Ten and Vs

Sonically, Gomez reminds me a lot of Pearl Jam. Especially the Vitalogy, No Code era. And I think Blind Melon is a good pick also.

nickelback are a disgrace to the good canadian name. their lead singer is such a prick.

according to some tv show that i watched, the aforementioned bands are all Cher impersonators. However, the show did say Vedder was one too, so i just had to throw a brick through my tv screen.

Oh, and the Black Crowes.

"Ten sounding" Pearl Jam there's a shitload of them, just turn into any modern rock station and you'll be satisfied, but if you're looking for "No Code - Riot Act" era sounding then that would be hard to find

i've always felt sparta is pretty similar. they play hard rock and jim's voice has that same straining, scream to it. but i don't know if you want a lot of guitar solos though.

Like I said if you are looking for a good Ten or Vs knock off STP's Core or Purple are hard to beat.

Good call on The Hip,

They're almost like the PJ of Canada :p
:cool:

That reminds me of a great quote from Gord Downie when a reporter in the States asked him what it feels like to be the Pearl Jam of Canada:

"I thought Pearl Jam was the Pearl Jam of Canada. Does that make them the Tragically Hip of the United States?"

Screaming Trees is a good one too. I also consider Shinedown or Mercy Fall to have the same sort of music with blistering guitar solos and very strong vocalists.
