    Holy crap, WHY DOES EVERYONE ASSUME IT WOULD HAVE TO HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH RELIGION?????



    Didn't U2 record I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking for with a gospel chorus?



    It's just a style of music, typically used for religious purposes, but still a style.


    I'd be interested to hear a Pearl Jam song with an African American gospel back-up. Not necessarily a whole album, but I would be open to the idea.

    I'm Agnostic by the way, but Pearl Jam is one of my many religions. It would only make sense they do gospel. 8-)

    This.

    Thank you. Of course, your common sense will just be ignored in this thread. Springsteen has no issue working with gospel choirs. Neither does Townshend. Or Neil Young. Anything Springsteen or Townshend or Young have done can't be ruled out in the Pearl Jam word.

    And once again (to keep beating a dead horse), Ed's performance at the Kennedy Center Honors backed with a gospel choir is easily his most engaging, powerful, and interesting public solo performance ever. I would take an album of him playing beautiful ballads like that backed with a gospel choir over a ukulele album any day of the week.

    How about you do the same and we'll call it even?
    OW GOT ME THERE! I'm not using my brain because I don't think they should do a Gospel album? How about you stop singling me out of the majority that agree with me in this thread and I'll give it a thought.

    Honestly, I have no idea what you are saying here. I was merely saying I'll stop trying to make you look like a fool, if you stop trying to make me look like an ignoramus for daring to be open minded to something that is out of the ordinary. But whatever. Life is way too short and people are way too stupid.

    Well at least we know you've perfected the art of under-the-table insults.

    Pearl Jam would never ever ever do a gospel album. It doesnt seem like anyone in this band is a devote christian. Which would be the warrant for a gospel album. Also, the music is way different. This honestly isnt a good idea for them to think about doing this or even attempt it. I understand some of you maybe devotely religious. But I doubt the band memebers are. And even if they were, it would not fit into the scheme of pearl jam. They would probably turn a lot of fans off and possibly even loose a chunk of thier following.

    Admire my son, admire my clones
    'Cause we know, appetite for a nightly feast
    Those ignorant Indians got nothin' on me
    Nothin', why?
    Because... it's evolution, baby!

    I am ahead, I am advanced
    I am the first mammal to make plans, yeah

"WELL PRAISE JESUS THERE WILL BE MORE SEATS FOR US!!!!!!!!!!". if you want to listen to songs about god, attend church or buy a gospel album. please leave my favourite band out of it.
    Yeah, and saying it's never gonna happen isn't being closed minded. It's being realistic. Pearl Jam is not a religious band and never has been.
    couldnt have said it better

    Why is this thread still going?? It should die a slow painful death... like listening to a PJ gospel album would be like.

    Edit: Just realised the irony of continuing a thread that I wish were dead.
