    So far it doesn't feel like a celebration

    I suppose you have a good point. The guests could be a little more enthusiastic...They need more fan boys (and girls) celebrating every song by stating what's so great about them.
    Seriously.

    Agreed. not the best title for his podcast. but the content is decent
    He is one of the better defenders of rock music.
    I lost taste for RollingStone long ago.

    Let's talk about my favorite PJ album that I haven't listened to in over 20 years and know nothing about

    Listened to the Vitalogy one today. Was a really enjoyable hour. I'm a big Chuck Klosterman fan, too, so added bonus.
    everybody wants the most they can possibly get
    for the least they could possibly do

    You all are not psyching me up to listening to the next podcast. I often wish to listen to people talk about pj. I guess that's why I spend so much time here! I just hope future guests will be more hardcore fans or at least sound interested and have fun stories. I have an idea... next time there's a tour, let's just record our conversations with each other and make our own podcast.

    Yep. If you're going to do a podcast about an album, at least know what the hell you're talking about. They talked about Vs. and didn't even mention Rearviewmirror, Blood or Indifference. Come on!

    There's a podcast called "The Great Albums" podcast that you might want to check out. One of the hosts is a fan, and they have covered Ten, Vitalogy, and Yield, so far, and have stated that they will most likely cover the whole catalog. They are musicians too, so they bring that perspective to the table. They do a "Bonus Song" episode for each album and one of those covered Pigeon by Stone Gossard. There are people that know more about Pearl Jam than these guys, but I found them fairly knowledgeable, and they clearly love the music.

    The thing is many/most/all of us know more about Pearl Jam than these guys. I'm enjoying these for what they are so far but at the same time trying to remember I'm probably not their target audience. For those less familiar with these catalog and history these podcasts may be more informative. Still, these are interesting enough to have on in the background.

    Agreed though..."celebration" is a strong term.

    Definitely want to recommend The Great Albums. Definitely have enjoyed it more than Celebration Rock so far, simply because they at least go into each song on the album. Celebration Rock left so much out. Also feels a lot more like fans talking about PJ.

    Both albums in one podcast? What happened... did a bunch a fans email and complain, and as a jab, they grouped the two greatest together just to piss us off ?!

    It will be two episodes dropped on the same day like Vs and Vitalogy were.

    looking at the charts for the podcasts. The last 3 were in the 13-26th place range. This one right now is at 46. Hope more people listen to it. Just so they can listen to No Code

    Hope so too. Would be a nice reminder for the casual fan base.

    Thoughts on this so far... I'm enjoying it as a time killer at work and on the commute, but as others have stated, I wish it went a little more in depth. I guess it is geared toward the more casual fan who hasn't spent the last 25 years loving this band.

    I've only listened to the Vitalogy one but the Klosterman guy kind of sounded embarrassed that he was a fan at one point.
    as stated earlier, not much of a celebration. Lets get John Mayer or Adam Levine on this frigin thing. ha
    “I know this song so well, I can smoke a cigarette, have a drink, brush my teeth, take a shit, and mow the lawn while singing it. But I'll only be doing a couple of those things during this version.”

    The one with Jessica Letkemann will be the best one. But, it is interesting to hear casual fans discuss their points of view. I found PJ in college, so it was interesting to me to think about people finding PJ in middle school. I hadn't thought about that before.
