    everyday in general is the biggest drop in quality any band has ever taken from one album to the next...you go from soulful, unique acoustic music with great lyrics to overproduced generic pop crap with atrocious lyrics.....awful!!

    Yeah I remember hearing they dropped the songs (I think they were called The Lillywhite Sessions) and tried to make a more poppy album with "Everyday". I guess the Lillywhite stuff came out on Busted Stuff later.

    How is Busted Stuff compated to Everyday? Would Busted Stuff not have been such a drop in quality?

    busted stuff is just the lillywhite songs rerecorded, with one or two exceptions.....they should have gone straight to that and never done everyday....it would be a better world without it.....i think dave buckled to record company pressure to put out pop shit...he co-wrote the songs with glen ballard, who made alanis morrisette a superstar

    which makes you appreciate a band like Pearl Jam even more....it takes balls to tell your record company "fuck off! we're doing what WE want to do!"
    "I'll tell you what: If all I had was Pearl Jam, and I didn't have another band in the world, I would not be worried. Because in there is the essence of making great music. You don't have to use it all at once, but it's there." - Neil Young

    good call.........for my wife's birthday we went dancing and i slipped this song to the dj at the establishment. when he played the song the entire dance floor emptied and allowed the two of us to have the whole place to ourselves.

    they definitely are a top-notch band. not as diverse as certain other bands (pearl jam) but they are definitely an excellent live band and have a ton of great songs.

    granny, lover lay down, spoon...so many to choose from...but there are also a lot of stinkers out there. Everyday(album) has been mentioned tons but I also wasn't very high on Stand Up either. BTCS is the tops IMO.

    As I stated earlier, I am not a big DMB guy, but I have been listening to songs I have that people mention and they are good.

    I just listened to 2 Step and really like it.

    I think Bartender is one of the finest songs ever written.

    Dave is an inconsistent writer, I feel, but when he's on, I think he's one of the finest songwriters. Grey Street, Warehouse, The Stone, The Dreaming Tree, The Last Stop, #41, Cry Freedom are just more examples. I think for their first four or so albums (counting the Lillywhite Session/Busted Stuff material), they were one of the greats. I hope with their next album they can recapture that.

    haha daaaamn. Sorry to go off but it's not often that an opportunity to praise Dave presents itself around here. ;)

    Ooh and I must add, in response to the original post, You Never Know. Thats a great song too! I love the words. So empowering! Thats what I really love about Dave. He always shines the light on the dark reality of things...all the sadness, all the heartache, all the fucked up shit in the world...and ALWAYS turns it around into something positive, hopeful and uplifting. *sigh* He makes me happy. :)
