Pearl Jam is the best because...

LeilaMoonTurtle

they give diff interviews to foreign mags and when your friends travel and bring them back to you it is a whole new experience.

PJ is the best for all the reasons everyone has said and because when they play a cover they play it better than the band that originaly plays it!!!!

They are all great musicians and lyrically Eddie is a fucking genious.....Mike and Stone are the reason I picked up a guitar....

PJ is the greatest band ever and is what keeps so many of us breathing today....

Because of the most awesome concert I've been to-Hawaii 12/2/06. I'll never forget it. Glad I was able to be there.
All the other stuff too!

not many guys can sing 3 crooked hearts swirls all around is still be a guys guy

Gary Carter

pj is the best cause..... they let me meet a cool person on this board.she helped me out at a low point in my life and cause of that we really have become close friends over these past 9 or so months.shes probably gonna be in my life hopefully forever and i hope one day to hang out with her. i love u very much,u know who u are

somebodyelsessky2020

instantly when they walk on stage...real slow nothing flashy..just true musicians, an instant aura fills the place and it's like nothing else i ever feel at any other concert..and when they open with release it kicks it up a notch higher. all my best shows started with release as the opener.

of songs like habit

repeating never thought you'd habit such disappointment yet sounding soo yummy and throaty/raspy voice

CitizenRick

They make a difference in people's lives...and they care. No decadence... no bullshit gimmicks...no pretending to be something they're not...and for that I'm a fan for life.

IlovveePJ

they're honest.

LeilaMoonTurtle

thye can write songs like rats and I got Id.

LeilaMoonTurtle

I feel the need to counter the thread 'is pj the most hated band...'

Guess I'm just tired of silly negative threads--I much prefer this silly thread.

LeilaMoonTurtle

of songs like gone--although I prefer the holiday 45 version--love love love this song.

LeilaMoonTurtle

they are a hidden treasure, which I prefer to only share with those whom i believe will enjoy.

they tried to bitch slap TM and have managed to keep their shows affordable.

electronblue

all of the above and plus they let us bring cameras to the shows!!!... even tho NONE of my pictures turned out '03 because i got too damn excited being up front during (pre set) and must've stripped the plastic dang throw-away-camera advancement...~

of lyrics like

I miss you already... I miss you always
I miss you already... I miss you all day
This is how I feel...

I miss you already... I miss you always
Three crooked hearts and swirls all around... I miss you all day

Perfect really Leila! And so many others to choose from!

I can always find a song to fit my present mood.



It's been about three days now
Since I've been aground
No longer overwhelmed and it seems so simple now
It's funny when things change so much
It's all state of mind

LeilaMoonTurtle

of

Like a cloud dropping rain
I'm discarding all thought
I'll dry up, leaving puddles on the ground

and the haunting guitar when he sings 'but let me say if I behave...' love it!

and how the sense of urgency grows towards the end of the song.

LOVE IT!!!!

Pearl Jam is more than the best band in the world. They are a way of life, a way of thinking, an all encompassing trip! My life would have been so much the poorer for not having stumbled across them. I missed the whole grunge explosion, busy planning to get married, have huge amounts of kids and go farming!!! YEAH I KNOW! WHAT A JOKE RIGHT!! :D Mostly listened to John Cougar Mellencamp and Bon Jovi! I KNOW! (Told you it was bad!) Anyway things went pear shaped with the fiance and stumbled into the pub one night and a met a bloke who LOVED PJ! Somehow started to grow on me. THEN they released BETTERMAN! That was it! I was completely hooked! I went back bought everything I could get my hands on. Bought everything new they released and listened and listened and listened. And my life continued on and they kept coming out with the perfect song at the perfect moment and just reinforced their brilliance. Now I was willing to accept that maybe I was a wee bit obsessed but the fact is that if they hadn't kept changing and growing and nailing it each and every time I would have got bored and given up on them years ago. And the best thing is that I have discovered that all you folk out their love them for your own special reasons and they have been affecting your lives right along with mine. AND WE ARE ALL ON A DIFFERENT PATH!!!! Different time zones, different sexes, different life aspirations. Different and yet the same. Imagine! Imagine, just how brilliant that really is for a minute!
