    Never understood why this bothers people so much. I thought Creed's My Own Prison was a decent release. To me it doesn't even sound that much like Pearl Jam. Just sort of a similar genre. Their subsequent releases were hardly worth releasing, with Stapp going over the top in so many songs. Mark Tremonti seems like a good guitar player though.

    STP's Plush was one of my favourite albums growing up, not far behind the first Pearl Jam albums. But STP never released a Vitalogy or No Code.

    Tremonti is a freak guitarist. He tries to keep it harnessed it, but he still gets too ridiculous for my taste.

    Core is the album.

    I think STP gets a bad rap. I've been listening to Shangriladida and it's a damn fine album. I think STP went as far musically as PJ did, though not quite as often and I don't think they made an album as "bad" as Riot Act.

    Would like to point out. Dean Deleo is an awesome guitar player. I like to think of him as a modern day Jimmy Page, with the alternate tunings and different techniques he employs. After seein them in concert, I had to go home and relearn all their songs with the correct crazy chords.

    i wanted to study abroad but i wanted to go somewhere that spoke english. i figured england was a shorter plane ride than australia so i can go to england any time i wanted to later on in life and if i wanted to go to australia i'd have to go now. and i picked sydney because i'd get to do more stuff since it's a city and i thought it'd be the closest thing to ny to make me feel at ease :)

    I guess Creed sounds the most like them. Although, I don't think they really sound all that much like PJ as a band. Same for STP. To be fair, I think the song Plush was written before ten even came out, believe it was on STP's first demo when they were still called mightly joe young in 1990-ish.

    i dont believe STP sounds anything like pearl jam. they sound like a totally different band. and i really don't get how plus sounds like anything pearl jam ever did. and, being completely honest, i think weiland has a better voice than ed. if we're talkin which voice gives me more chills, definitely ed, but which voice has more range? that goes to weiland. i dont even think those two bands come close to sounding like the other. i may be wrong though, i'm still a newbie compared to all you other 30+ year olds :lol:

    yeah I saw STP on their reunion tour and they sounded fantastic. Both Ed's and Scott's voices have changed, or mostly their style and delivery. Sometimes I wish Ed would just go back to the baritone patented Ten voice. Oh well, he's been singing in the higher vibrato-y register for a long while now so I'm used to it, still sounds great to me

    STP's "Plush" always sounded exactly like PJ to me. And I'm sure it got pushed out there to cash in on PJ's success.

    When that video came out, I thought "wow, PJ's singer cut his hair reeeealy short!"
    ADD 5,200 to the post count you see, thank you. :)

    there was a band called Nixon (or Dixon?) many many years ago that sounded exactly like pearl jam. so much so that i remember hearing one of their songs on the radio and thinking it was a new pearl jam song (and a rather shitty one at that).

    Is this the song and band you're thinking of? I have no idea why I remember this either, haha
