What makes you love pearljam

InHiding · January 2005

have to say i agree with everything that's been said here. i also had a view of pearl jam as just a grunge band until i heard vs and it all changed. i love their music and the passion in their songs. i haven't seen them live yet but if the touring band 2000 dvd is anything to go by i can't wait. i love the emotions in the songs and everytime i heard them it takes my breath away and i know i'm amid greatness. on top of this the band stand up for their beliefs and the fans are the best in the word. PJ are my favourite band because of who they are and the amazing music they create

great thread by the way!

I like them most of all because of the way they've gone about being a rock band. I mean I love the music...but the guys being good people and not money grubbing assholes just make it all the more enjoyable. I just wish bands would take a look at Pearl Jam and learn from them.

Hi me again. I love pearljam more than anyother band on the planet. My question is what makes pearljam, pearljam. For me its the connection. It feels like he is singing to me and me alone. No other music has done this for me and wanted your veiws.

Totally. It feels so personal, like all of their music is talking to you alone. There are so many pearl jam songs that just make wanna nod my head and say "yeah, they know what i feel/felt like"

Do you remember the end of Single Video Theory,when interviewer asks Eddie what PJ means to him?I suppose my reaction is the same one.(cannot be the same but...)

I have no clue were to start.......I think its the attitude in every song no matter if the song is slower and melodic to there harder songs but in total it doesnt matter because it doesnt matter what kind of atitude im in pearl jam has a song for it......from deppresion(Crazy Mary) to anger(lukin) to happinnes (oceans) that is what makes pearl jam Pearl Jam to me..........

Pearl Jam are the only band, from the first moment I ever heard alive, until now, that help me put into words all my feelings, and then help me feel those feelings. I love some other bands, but only Pearl Jam is the whole package. I don't only love their music, I respect their music and I respect them as musicians and as human beings. That is the difference.

And the fact that they respect us. I think that's just bloody amazing. They realise the importance of the fans and they do things for us, simply because we think they're kickass!

What else? What everyone else has already said...The music, the emotions, the determination.

A band of substance, heart and stubborness. Appeals to everyone. Would any other band have had the balls to write Rival? That's why they're undoutedly the most underrated band of the 90's. I think people hate them just because they survived, which is just such a poor reason to hate anything...

They rule.

All of the above...

I used to wonder why I liked Led Zeppelin so much. Everyone liked them, but to me they were more..

Now its Pearl Jam, I stoped wondering. It just like wondering why I like Snickers

Eddie's beautiful voice and the wonderful but often sad/depressing lyrics.

jarheadjr · February 2005

First off, Eddie Vedder's voice is unique and doesn't sound like anyone else out there. Second, they have songs that connect with almost any situation or mood you are in. Third, the lyrics are excellent, I dont think any other band would come up with the variety of songs and lyrics that Pearl Jam has. They are all around the greatest band out there.

BlocksTheSun · February 2005

The Depth of the music and the emotional energy they exude. They are a no BS band w/o gimmics that just plays the music to the best of their ability just as any real rock band should!

siobhan · February 2005

the olny reason you need is just fuckin listen to der music eddie is a genius the lyrices are just soooooooooooooooooooo great you really conect with the band but even if you dont listen to the lyrics you could get lost in the music they are just ledgened

Like many others have stated, it's the connection I feel with them in total. I have some other bands I love too, but none of them can compare to PJ. Hands down my favorite. It started with Vs. actually, then I progressively got the rest of the albums and finally, on Oct. 5th '04 got to see them live at the Fox in St. Louis.

My life will never be the same.

UsmanI · February 2005

The reason I love Pearl Jam is because of the poetic quality to almost all of their songs. Not only that but their songs actually have meaning to them, they're important and carry a message. Another reason is that Pearl Jam doesn't bitch about their lives in their songs, like so many of these new fucking bands. Their songs are very character-driven, so it's like your listening to stories or songs about someone else, and that's what I want. I don't want to listen to music and apply it to my own life, and feel gloomy, I want to listen to good music, and that's what Pearl Jam provides.

IMO, the era of good music died with the '90s. Back then there were bands such as Soundgarden, Rage Against the Machine, Bush, and so many more. Of all these shitty new bands that emerge from someone's asshole, I think there's only a very few that I can actually stand to listen to.

Sincerity.

It's as simple and as complex as that.
