Would you focus your obsession and fixation on a different band do you think, or would you just have a huge gaping hole in your soul like me?

    Damn the world would be a horrible place.

    This band saved my musical taste in the early 1990's.

    Think about the other offerings of that time, most bands are gone.

    I just wasn't able to relate any other band like I have this one.

    The lyrics are brilliant and thought provoking and the music ties it all together letting all the emotion come through.

    I would most likely be a large Ben Harper fan, wait I wouldn't PJ introduced me to him.

    I just can't think of another.

    Thank you PJ.

    I have often thought about this subject........
    What if Andrew Wood hadn't passed away? Would Mother Love Bone have been a popular band in the 90`s like Pearl Jam and Nirvana were?

    What if Jack Irons never gave Eddie the demo that Stone & Jeff recorded?

    Would Eddie be as well known in the music industry today had he never been in Pearl Jam?

    yeah, these things flip me out sometimes how important the tiniest things were to align all these guys. If it didnt happen i'm pretty sure i'd still have a mullet.

    I'd be cash rich, soul poor.

    That's a hell of a trade off.

    As much as I loved Mother Love Bone (and was completely devastated when Landrew passed away)
    There is no way I could have gotten through my teenage years without Pearl Jam !

    My first reaction for this thread was: "Whaaaaat? Whhhaaaaaattt??? You must be out of Your mind
    yes, it's "hard to imagine".
    And I don't think I would find another band like PJ. I am not a type of person who need to be a fan o sth like this. Honestly I still can't believe I am so crazy about this band, I think is kind ridiculous, but I can't help it.
    Not 10c member? Have sth to say? write to me - I'll put it on the forum

    for me, my desire for being a musician wouldn't exist. Eddie Vedder is my idol when it comes to that. I would probably still have my ambition of becoming a baseball player for the Yankees. I'd be all into baseball and hopefully be a better ball player, thanks to ed ved and PJ, i'm an aspiring musician and i wouldn't trade that for anything

    I would have probably still been a total Nirvana guy... like I was up until that Indio gig in '93.
    I guess if it didn't exist, i wouldn't know what I was missing, right?
    ...
    And does it mean Eddie and Stone and Mike and Jeff don't exist? Because it depends if they were making music or working in pizza joints. I can see me liking Eddie's music... unless he joined Matchbox 20 in 1994.

    Neil Young and Pearl Jam have always been equal at the top of my obsessions. I've been a Neil fan my whole life so it just means I'd gave spent more money going to more of his shows instead!

    You can take the Mother Love Bone argument back another step. What if Green River had made it? What if they had become world-famous instead of Nirvana? Not only would there be no Mudhoney, no MLB would mean Andy may still be with us, we would never have had Temple of the Dog and definitely no PJ...

    We'd still have Bad Radio though! :D
