Hi all,

Sorry if this has been covered before....

The fact that we all like PJ is a fact, but I am wondering what the other favourite bands/artists of PJ fans may be (including bands that are now defunct).

For example, my "other" favourite bands/artists are (in no particular order):

1) Radiohead
2) Yeah Yeah Yeahs
3) Died Pretty
4) Husker Du
5) Beth Orton
6) Death in Vegas
7) Portishead
8) PJ Harvey
9) The Fall

I wonder if we can discern common threads from our listening and buying tastes....

have a great day!

    Apparently he's also a huge PJ fan.

    And very well done w/ the Arcade Fire nod tmud - they don't seem to get too much love on here in threads about other music/bands.

    Sonic Youth, Wilco, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Magneto, Low...to name but a few.

    Pearl Jam is definitely my favorite band by far, best live band and I have more PJ cds then anyone else ;)
    My favorite solo musician is Juliana Hatfield, alternative/indie rock chick. She has a beautiful strong voice & plays a mean lead guitar :D I got into her around the same time as Pearl Jam 91/92, she never disappoints, all her albums are amazing. She's great live too, seen her 9 or 10 times :) My passion for her music is on par with Pearl Jam, I've loved her music just as long ;)
