hello everyone. i'm new to this board, but certainly not new to pearl jam. been a fan for many years.
name's Theis, i'm 19 and from Denmark.

anyways, every board needs a thread like this. sure this has probably been done here before, but hey, i couldnt find a similar one using the search button.
make your definite top 10 list. no "current favs", only the 10 bands/artists who you will always treasure as being your all time favorites. no "honorable mentions" is allowed either. only 10 and not 11 or 12.
i think it's interesting to see what kind of music pearl jam fans listen to.

go! :)

mine (in no specific order)

1. pink floyd
2. deftones
3. pearl jam
4. incubus
5. death cab for cutie
6. led zeppelin
7. jeff buckley
8. nada surf
9. dredg
10. black sabbath
