Rules for being a Pearl Jam fan

Actually this is just more of a stereotype of the forum members.......but these are just things I have noticed (oddly, I do not fit hardly any of these)

You must love Neil Young

You must love Pearl Jam opening acts (My Morning Jacket, Deathcab For Cutie, Wilco, Liam Finn, Wintersleep, etc)

You must be middle - upper class

You must travel all over the US to see PJ live

You must be liberal

You must see PJ every chance you get to, every night if they are playing multiple nights at the same venue

You do not think Ten is their best album, in fact you probably think it is one of their worst along with the rest of their best selling records

    Love Neil Young? Check.
    Love PJ opening acts? Nope, I like maybe 20% of them, actually.
    Middle-upper class? Hmmm ... Check.
    Travel all over the U.S.? Hardly.
    Liberal? No ... I have liberal views and I have conservative views, and I wind up somewhere near the middle overall.
    Seeing PJ every chance I get? Yes, although my chances are limited.
    Ten is NOT PJ's best album, guilty as charged.

    Some people who went to that Ohio VFC show and witnessed that Neil/PJ show actually complained...WTF???

    Neil helped save this band and that's gotta count for something.

    So, yes, you must love Neil Young. No other options.

    Yield and No Code must be your top two albums, respectively. And you are most definitely not a fan if you like Ten but not No Code.

    All above rules only apply to those fans who frequent this board. So all in all not a huge sample of the worldwide fans.

    I do not LOVE Neil Young. I can listen to him.

    I am usually running late and miss most (if not all) of the opening acts. Which sucks, as I what I have heard has been pretty darn good.

    What is middle class anymore?

    Yes, I will travel.

    I am liberal, depending upon the subject.

    I might see them two nights in the same venue, but I haven't as of yet.

    I am not picky about PJ albums. Each of them has something that fits my day. :)
    I still want you all to "take care"--I am just damn tired of typing it.

    Wilco have never opened for Pearl Jam.


    Edit:


    Also, a shit load of people here hate Sleater-Kinney, so that "rule" is false.


    Please try again. And Oasis suck.

    Lil Wayne is better than Pearl Jam.

    Who doesn't love Neil Young?
    The only opening act I really liked was Liam Finn and I saw him opened for Eddie not PJ. I'm broke as fuck at the moment. So far only in New York state and New England. Am I? That's smart budgetting and their setlist is diverse anyway. Ten is a classic 5-star album but I like Yield and No Code just a few ounces better.

    I like Neil Young, but I liked his music before Pearl Jam even existed.

    I couldn't care less about their opening acts. I do like some MMJ and Ted Leo Rx but I absolutely do not understand everyone's fascination with KOL

    I am middle class

    I've only seen shows in two neighboring states

    I have middle-of-the-road political views

    Ten is not their best album but its fucking fantastic. I do not understand the "let's hate Ten because its their most popular" mentality
    I am lost, I'm no guide. But I'm by your side...
