    Ok, with this line from the article.....

    "Pearl Jam may have sounded like Blood, Sweat and Tears on "the clear" but their business practices and general outlook on life once they'd sold 10 million copies of their first album was pretty much a "leave us be" kind of approach."

    Yup, it's his opinion, and it's our opinion that his opinion is laughable. He's entitled to his opinion, just as we are of ours.

    The problem here is the definition of "alternative". What made Nirvana or Mudhoney more "alternative" than Pearl Jam or Soundgarden or Alice in Chains? Honestly it's the stupidest "genre" ever conceived.

    i could have chosen half the list but Beck is not a band...nor are a few others on that list

    on a side note the word "alternative" is laughable

    Have you ever run into one of those people that says they are really into music... and you mention the bands that you like (Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters, Nirvana, Radiohead, Soundgarden, etc...) and they give you that, "I don't listen to commercial music" thing? Instead, they rattle off these really obscure bands and artists that you never heard of or may have read a tiny clip about them in the LA Weekly 12 years ago. They claim these acts are the 'real' music out there.
    ...
    Yeah... that's the guy.

    Sorry but I think the list is pretty good. I don't agree with everything but there are some great bands on that list. Just b/c Pearl Jam isn't on the list doesn't make it laughable. Not everyone loves the band as much as we do. He clearly wasn't using album sales to base the list so PJ selling 10 million records isn't a very good arguement as to why they should there.
