I think at some we point, we pearl jam fans need to get past the fact that some people will never accept pearl jam as legitimate part of the rock cannon. I am tired of the comparisons between Kurt and Ed because it seems no matter what "side" you are on, people feel the need to tear down one or the other to make their point. It's really quite lazy if you ask me.
The fact of the matter is that both made/make amazing music. All the other stuff is not relevant in my opinion. You know why? Because you are never going to convince the writers and avid reader of pitchfork that pearl jam matters. And they will never convince me that they don't mean absolutely everything.
