    This is always my first answer. But, I really think it's a lot more than that. It's everything. Their music, his voice, their lyrics, their activism, their complete unique approach. There's no other band like them.

    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.

    -gossards rhythm guitar and songwriting, aments songs and bass lines, vedders lyrics, every drummer theyve had kicks ass, except dave abbraluzy, their album art, mcready, their themes are often sublime, their vibe is always sublime, they are the best band i have lived to see, well jethro tulls still together, I put them in the same personally sacred handful of bands, their concerts are better than any other i've ever seen, I can boast about that to non fans, take them and then they always agree with me after, ahh, they put out kick ass singles, they put out free christams singles, oh wait I pay twenty bucks for that, they support vinyl, they support charities even when it dosnt mean exposure, Vedder likes jethro tull, their side projects are amazingly virile, they dont charge a hundred dollars a ticket like neil young, they don't do too many tasteless commercial deeds, they keep it real, jeff did an exclusive interview because fans thought he quit, they have a bunch of kickass films out there, I have twelve years of memories tied in with their music, my friends listen to them as well, they are still going, they are gonna play theatres one day.

    it's has a lot to do with the song writing and the fact that there isn't one person writing all the songs. There are different types of songs on every record which keeps the, all balanced and therefore not boring. I have been on the PJ bandwagon since Ten was released and have stuck with them ever since. The fact that they are the only band that i have followed from the begining means a lot to me and for whatever reason i have always made a point to get everything they relase, no matter what genre i am into it always comes back to PJ. They are all very talented and i can not say that i have a particular favorite, first it was jeff, then stone and then mike, at this point i have stoped trying to decide who my favorite is and just love them as a whole.

    Pearl Jam is the greatest for the fact that they don't take what they do for granted. These guys care about their fans and know that they have the greatest job in the world. I love them for the fact that they continually produce quality music every time they release an album. Plus, what other band out there play two and a half hour sets for a thirty five dollar ticket. what a great band. i hope they never stop making music

    I've always been a casual fan of Pearl Jam. At the end of last summer, I was visiting New York with my sister, and I found their "Ten" cd on for like 3 bucks, used, so I grabbed it. Great CD, as I'd heard a lot of the songs, but I never really "listened" to it, if you catch my drift. I didnt' look into the lyrics, and in my ignorance, I knew very little about Eddie Vedder and his past.

    However, I just picked up their greatest hits CD, "Rearviewmirror," after a buddy told me how he couldn't stop listening to it. I was destined to fall into the same trap--I'd heard a lot of these Pearl Jam songs before, but hearing them all together, I guess, made them come alive. I looked into their lyrics, and saw how much passion and emotion was put into them, how vibrant they were... I'd always had this preconceived notion that Pearl Jam was just some grunge band that put out some great, rockin tunes with empty lyrics, but by truly "listening" to their songs, it gave me an enormous appreciation for the music, and the poetry within. I wish I had known just how much depth PJ had for some of the hard times in my life. Rearviewmirror has roped me in, and I know that Pearl Jam will always be one of my favorite artists, if not the favorite.

    Yet another good reason for this compilation of "greatest hits".

    WOohoo! Welcome to a great part of life - Pearl Jam!

    I have to say it is the music, the lyrics, and Ed's voice. The combination of these three things makes the music something I have welcomed to share my life with. I am not a casual fan, and so because PJ's music is such a part of my life I feel like I have a real relationship with that music. It's like one of my best friends: when I'm down I listen to the music and I feel better, when I feel happy and I want to bounce around and rock out ... PJ's music is there, if my past is creeping up on me and I feel like I'm going under, their music has never failed to help me back to solid ground.

    The songs speak to me as if they were a real person.

    Many thing. They are so complete. They have great song writting skills, they play very well and have good chemistry, amazing vocals and lyrics, they are not afraid to experiment, they package their cd's better than anyone else. So many reasons!

    this is an awesome discussion, i agree with everything here and then some. i almost dont know where to start. i think it's incredible that a song can touch me(and you guys) in a personal way, and at the same time touch an entire audience collectively, if that makes sense. i also think the songs are somehow alive because i can listen to a song at different stages in life and totally get different things out of the same song. very cool. i dig how they did things their way. no ticketmaster, no mtv, no pr hype, no problem. they knew long ago that if the music is good(and it's SOOOOO good) then that's all that matters. these guys have been my therapy to so many problems it aint even funny. i'm gonna quit for now so others can have room, but i'll be back!

    I would have to say the passion in their music as well as the lyrics and how dynamic they are, their sound is unique and their music makes me feel better whenever I am down in the dumps I just play it loud and I feel like jumping around and screaming the words at the top of my lungs!!! (Which i do when no-one is around). Not to mention that Eddie is one SEXY BEAST GOD!!!! But the passion is what gets me!!! That is what it is all about...WOO HOO!!!

    well first and foremost.. the music!!

    Also.. the way the band has these themes for each album, its like each one is different and evolves but all the way, they stay true to who they are. The fan club is legit, the fans are the greatest ever, eddies voice is by far the most soothing perfect voice that makes me feel like home, mike is phenominal on guitar as is stone, Jeff rips it up and matt is a great drummer. None of their albums ever get old, and the anticipation to see them live or get new albums is by far more extreme than another band. The wait to see them live and when u get your tickets and what not, u cant describe it.. its like life is perfect.. and the lyrics ..wow the lyrics & how we interpret them our own ways... theres so many reasons why i love this band, these are just a few
