(if PJ is not your first, then name your favorite band)

which did you like first?
are they similar to PJ, how?

(i wonder if there are a lot of STP fans here, as they have made some pretty damn good sounding Pearl Jam albums)

    STP doesn't sound like Pearl Jam.

    But to answer the question. Favorite band: Zeppelin. Second Favorite: Beatles.

    1. PJ
    2. Beck -he's done everything musically and because of that I know he'll be making records into my grey years even though I'm not 30 yet. Very exciting to know that. Mind you, I don't love everything he's done and hate a decent portion of it. But when he hits he hits!

    My #1 and # 2 alternate daily.

    Today PJ is #1


    Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band are # 2 ( for today )

    #2 Beatles

    (IMHO, Everyone really should own the White Album, Abbey Road, Revolver and Rubber Soul. Their influence on many PJ songs is unmistakable)

    Every night I burn
    Waiting for the world to end...

    The Beatles & Led Zeppelin tied for #1

    Pearl Jam for "currently playing" #1.

    I suspect that when PJ hangs it's hat up, that it will be a 3-way tie for #1, with Pearl Jam joining The Beatles & Led Zeppelin. For me anyways....

    Hmm..

    Pearl Jam
    Pink Floyd
    The Beatles
    Bruce Springsteen

    Those are the top 4, and they rotate.

    HM goes to Jimi, The Arcade Fire, Jack White, and Nine Inch Nails.
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    My favorite band is Wilco.

    I've been a Pearl Jam fan since 1996. I've been a Wilco fan since 2005. They have very little in common.

    I find that it isn't all that important to me to have a "favorite" band anymore. I'm focused on discovering new music nowadays, so it's not like I listen to Wilco or Pearl Jam on a daily or even weekly basis.
  • boroff89boroff89 Posts: 786
    My second favorite band after Pearl Jam is The Beatles. I have loved them my whole life, growing up with them long before Pearl Jam came around. The incredible diversity in their catalogue allows me to find something to listen to no matter what my mood might be. Even their poppy stuff is insanely good.

    In terms of active bands, Arcade Fire is my second favorite. I love them for many of the same reasons I love Pearl Jam. Their live shows are such emotionally powerful experiences.
    It makes much more sense to live in the present tense.
