    I just realized that I voted for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, and I have no idea who the Heartbreakers even are, Did anybody else just do that or am I the only one?

    My best advice is to run out and buy Damn the Torpedoes.  Start there and keep going- you're in for some great music experiences.
    Eddie is a fan as well:

    I actually watched the Classic Albums doc about Damn the Torpedoes last night. Great documentary going over the making of that album. VERY talented musicians in the Heartbreakers.
    You could have a spirited argument over the Heartbreakers vs the E Street Band.
    That could be an interesting poll: Best backing band. Heartbreakers, E St., The Band, Crazy Horse, Double Trouble, The Wailers, The Revolution, The Mothers of Invention, The Attractions... who else?
    You hit a lot of them.  How about "The Experience" (Jimi)?  I honestly can't think of anyone else.

    Tough decision for me. TP’s voice gets to me after a while, but there are just so many good songs… TP edges out

    That's true, although he made all of the music to start.

    Yeah, OK, I could see these dudes getting backed by Foo Fighters.  They could get all decked out and come out on stage on the red carpet!
    Dolce amp Gabbana has a new succession plan Vogue Business
     And have the band dress like this:

    Easy vote. If you asked a million people who the. Greatest American band of all time is, no one is even remotely thinking Soundgarden. Absolutely ridiculous they made it this far.  Time to face the truth. 

    So you're shocked they made it this far in a Pearl Jam forum? :lol: Granted if they made it that far in another group yeah i'd be surprised but not here.

    Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
    I would never say that Soundgarden are the greatest American band, but I have all of their music and I have zero interest in Tom Petty so it’s an easy - if insignificant - vote for me.

    Thanks again to @MedozK for these polls, they’ve been fun!

    If you have a Petty Best of album it's really good.  If you go album by album you have 2 songs that are good and the rest meh.  I bought both box sets hoping to uncovers some gems and sadly I did not...

    Soundgarden has some great albums where you listen from front to back and it's all good.

    Not my ideal 2 for the finals but it was interesting.

    Your very welcome. Have enjoyed the debates during these polls. This one has one more day, but I already have the next one in mind. I enjoy doing these and as long as y'all keep up the debates I will gladly continue.

    Full Moon Fever is amazing.  5 hits, 3 of which hit #1 on the mainstream rock board.
