    I go on binges, taking a few weeks away helps keep it all fresh. However pj radio on xm has made it hard to take breaks

    I listen to them a lot! At the gym, driving to work and back etc. Theres a lot of good music out there but I always go back to PJ too. Unfortunately none of my friends or family get it so I feel like the only person who likes them sometimes!

    I don't think it's unhealthy at all. I love listening to PJ (they are my no. 1 band), but I also like to listen to other people-Neil, Bruce, and today I was listening to REM.
    To each his own-if you want to totally listen to PJ, then I say "go for it!"

    I listen to a lot of PJ...but there is WAY too much good music out there to limit yourself to just 1 band.

    I actually don't listen to PJ as much as I used to. I can go weeks without listening to them. Just so much other stuff in my collection.

    I was just wondering if i was alone in being the only person on earth who listens to strictly only Pearl Jam music? They have everything i like in music. If i want solitude and peace its Lowlight. For anger Blood. Love,Just Breathe. Funk,Rats. Rap,Dirty Frank. It just goes on and on. I think this might be a healthy problem,lol.

    You listen to nothing but pearl jam??? That is some fucked up shit man.

    it might get boring, eventually, I don't know, but no, it's not unhealthy, all in all, music is art, art is good for the soul, specially Pearl Jam art...
    ... I am not in the business of being liked anymore ...

    i was kind of like that in the late 90's. music really sucked for several years in that period (Smashmouth anyone?). but i want to say things started getting better around 2000's. the mp3 probably had something to do with that. and now its like there's too much new music to be discovered.

    while i wouldn't call it unhealthy, i would say you run the risk of not being able to appreciate other music when there, god forbid, is no more new music from PJ.

    I am stuck because there is no beauty in anything else. Ive tried about everything,grew up to everything,and nothing can satisfy. I know its horrible,but i dont mind a bit.

    Well i hope that you someday find some other music that you find beauty in.

    help me.
    I have been chained and locked into my f*cking straight jacket or to this straight jacket
    drooling out of my face
    in five seconds
    I am considering
    I am strongly considering using this brick wall
    I am going to run my face down the entire length of it
    it's that course brick
    mm hmm
    im just going to run the entire length of it down the entire length of my face
    when I get to down at the corner
    that sharp edge where one direction meets the other
    I'm gonna be a bloody mess
    I'm getting five ladders and gluing them together like a dr suess book
    hammer them together and rub somebody's pointed crack up and down against the edge of this wall
    then for somebody's next act or mine
    I'm going to brush my teeth with the bricks
    I am going to pick my nose with a brick
    then it's time for another one
    every pearl jam poster on my walls or brick walls
    every scratched skipped crackling vinyl pile
    ready
    every scratched up CD
    PJ CD
    will be ground down in a blender
    poured into a cement mixer
    mortar added
    building my next f*king wall
    and somebody's pointed ass will be wiped all over it like the other one
    Somebody's ass, teeth, face will be brushed on it
    for fun I'm gonna bounce my head off of it
    for kicks the tree next to it
    I'm gonna put a bungee cord up on the top of it and swing head first into this wall
    I'm gonna climb to the top of this wall with my six or seventeen ladders dr. suess nailed together and I'm going to dive face-first into a boiling cup of coffee
    or a boiling cup of ground glass
    would you like a cup?

    I go months without listening to Pearl Jam but can pick them back in an instant. I pride myself in finding new bands and getting into them. Right now I'm on a The Head and the Heart kick who ironically are from PJ's neck of the woods but sound nothing like them.

    I'm not good at seeking and picking up music... but I have a pretty vast library I draw from.

    The Head and the Heart yes, they are good

    I need somebody to feed me new bands for me to get into. Can you, by the way, happen to suggest anybody else?

    I only listen to them heavily when they're touring/about to be touring. Other than that, maybe listen to a song or two here and there.
