From RollingStone.com:

8. When you see Pearl Jam you never quite know what kind of show you're going to get. Sometimes they play all the early hits like "Jeremy," "Black" and "Alive," while the very next night be mainly deep tracks from Yield, Riot Act and No Code. Regardless of what they perform, Pearl Jam approaches every show with a Springsteen-like level of passion and respect for their fans. They go out of their way to make each show special, often extending out the encores for well over an hour. It's one reason why they continue to pack giant venues without radio hits or much media mainstream attention.

Coming in at number eight is pretty impressive, especially behind The Who, LedZep, Bruce, and the Rolling Stones.

Beavis: All my friends are brown and red? What does that mean?
Butthead: It means that his friends are like turds and that they like suck.
Beavis: Heh heh. Oh yeah. Yeah! Get those spoons out of my face before I shove them up your butt!
Butthead: Huh huh.

    If you think about it, they really came in 5th place. A handful of those bands dont even really exist anymore. Queen, Led Zep, Pink Floyd.

    meh horrible list

    the grateful dead should be ahead of all those bands. touring for 30 years straight is no small feat.

    bruce should be 5 just cause of his failed hiatus from the e street band in the 90's
    Ron: I just don't feel like going out tonight
    Sammi: Wanna just break up?

    PJ being at number eight in that list is also quite remarkable by being the only band who really did anything after 1990. Not to say that the others didn't but to come from 90's alternative and be on the same list whether or not we agree with the list it is quite remarkable to me.

    sidenote AC/DC should be on there :D
