    Eric Church would be my suggestion. His older stuff. He has the same passion/believability in his songs as Pearl Jam does. 

    He's not necessarily in my regular rotation as of late.

    Manchester Orchestra has easily become my favorite non-PJ band.

    Always thought they were underrated.

    Sorry to say I can only listen to Pearl Jam non stop for so long before I need something else. Any recommendations on other bands to checkout that have a similar sound?
    They sound nothing like Pearl Jam, but my third favorite band is Wilco. The Beatles rank #2 but you already know their stuff.
    They're my second-favorite. Yep, I put them over the Beatles. (Actually, Radiohead is my No. 3.)

    I've seen Wilco 52 times since 1995, and Pearl Jam 72 times since 1994, but I've seen Jeff Tweedy in one form or another 81 times including the Wilco shows, so he has the edge. By the end of this month, PJ (and Ed) will regain the lead by a hair (80 PJ plus 2 EV and 1 EV/MM).
    That is an impressive number of Wilco/Tweedy shows. I tried to see them two nights in a row in New York for the YHF shows but my girl was not having it. She loves PJ, but not so much Wilco.
    I saw my first Wilco show just two months after A.M. came out, so I had a head start, but I've been racking up the Tweedy shows thanks to his annual residency at Largo here in L.A. I've seen him there 20 times now, almost every time in the front row. I just saw him there four times in five nights the week before Dark Matter came out. 
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    My Morning Jacket is a five piece and much better than Wilco.

    I’d recommend this thread in other music for ideas. Not everything in it is for everyone and it’s 26 pages now but the music is usually pretty good regardless https://community.pearljam.com/discussion/174141/ten-albums-presently-floating-your-boat/p1

    Probably top 5 for me. Really enjoyed them at Ohana a couple years ago.

    not similar but I've had Queens of the Stone Age catalog on high rotation lately. Saw them twice in last 8 months. They kill it, play a good bit of hits which is fine with me because they are pumping. just wish everyone didn't stand around like stiffs. Also spinning a lot of Maynard's bands, Tool/APC/Puscifer...and back into AIC's catalog. And wish the boys would do a Mad Season cover...
