Yep, didactic without being holier than thou, if that is possible they have found the right blend.

I love how Pearl Jam changes up their live shows from night to night. Some bands play the same set every night, Pearl Jam keeps it fresh.

I would say most bands, not some bands. U2 might change 1 or 2 songs from one night to the next, even if they are playing two nights in the same city.
It's not their responsibility to change the set every night, but PJ knows it will make for a better experience for them and the fans.

They are the best because they are the best.

i can understand or create my own clear understanding when the music talks telling me things other bands don't know how to sound through thier music..

simpleman

their the best because they eat bugels dipped in horseraddish dip, washed down with V8 juice...

they kept me smiling, although I worked 12hrs today.

Because the lyrics are so brilliant and beautiful, because the music is so passionate, because they are so good to their fans, because they've never been sellouts, because they actually care about making a positive difference in this world, and because they're the only band I can listen to for hours on end without getting sick of them...

PJ is the best b/c they're incredibly talented musicians, play and sing from their souls, world events actually mean something to them, and they care about their fans enough to work hard on each and every album and song! They truly are the best band in the world.

PJ013

Because no two albums sound the same. And they treat there fans better than any band I have ever seen.

robowski

they appraciate their fans and play a wide variety of their song catalog.
they believe in the music and don't care about who says what about it.

of lines like...

"I thought I thought the world"
"Good place to hide oh my oh"

"Gorgeous was his savior, sees her drowning in his wake"
"Ah torture follows reward follows torture follows reward"

"Byzantine is reflected in our pond"
"No time to be void"

"Please stand by the shore"
"I got my hand in my pocket, so determined, discreet"

"He won the lottery by being born, big hand slapped a white male American"
"I swear I recognize your breath"

"Like a cloud dropping rain I'm discarding all thought"
"I swallowed my breath and went deep, I was diving"

"I'm so high I hold just one breath here within my chest just like innocence"
"Are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?"
