Pearl Jam > you

[Saturos]

I can't remember who was the original writer of "House of The Rising Sun either.
Dammit virus you brainwashed me and made me forget.

I found this though. It seemed like lots of bands covered for this song and not just Bob dill-hole. (lol, I couldn't help it)

Look on the bottom of the page.

All this (downright silly, I must say) anti-Dylan talk has been decimated by this video.

Gentlemen.

I can't listen to it atm. I'll check it out at our college tomorrow though.

Pearl Jam are the greatest rock band of the last 20 years.

Their old stuff is nowhere near as good as the stuff on their latest album. Lyrically it's their best by a mile.

Those undecided needn't have faith to be free
And those misguided, there was a plan for them to be
Now you got both sides claiming killing in God's name
But god is nowhere to be found, conveniently

Walking tightrope high over moral ground
Seeing visions of falling up somehow

Her son's slanted
Always giving her
The sideways eye
And empty chair where dad sits
How loud can silence get?
And mom, she reassures
To contain him
But it's becoming a lie

She tells herself
And everyone else
Father is risking
His life for our freedoms

Parachutes is also a weird awesome song that's different from what they usually do - http://tinysong.com/21B

Reminds me of Off He Goes in that respect - http://tinysong.com/1N3K

Song for song Soundgarden are absolutely shit compared to Alice in Chains and Pearl Jam.

Are you on crack?

Read all the lyrics for Superunknown and Down on the Upside.

I don't think the lyrics you posted are anything special.

Shower in the dark day
Clean sparks driving down
Cool in the waterway
Where the baptized drown
Naked in the cold sun
Breathing life like fire
Thought I was the only one
But that was just a lie

Cause I heard it in the wind
And I saw it in the sky
And I thought it was the end
And I thought it was the 4th of July

I'm crazy about a couple of the songs... but for every other song, I find Alice In Chains and Soundgarden obnoxious generally. Partly because of the vocals, but mostly because I usually don't like the sludge style guitars. I want to like them more, can you guys recommend something?

 

[McGooTheWise]

Here are a few songs that have been shoved to the side by AIC, and Pearl Jam, for reasons unknown to me.

You need to stop listening to Pearl Jam's early songs. If you keep listening to Alive over and over then that's your fault. Their newer stuff is completely different and better than the early stuff.

Alice in Chains have loads of good songs. Do you own any albums? They're one of the few bands that have some albums where every song is good. Try Dirt and Facelift at first.

I havent listened to anything by them in almost 10 years. I got sick of them back then ..I'm not finished being sick of them :E ...same goes for Soundgarden and Alice in chains.. 3 bands that I loved back in the early 90's

I have a hard time viewing that as valid from someone who thinks that Grunge isn't dead and who also likes Pearl Jam.

Hey, **** you. Pearl Jam owns your ass and you're just afraid to ADMIT IT! >:l

I feel that the word "grunge" is dead, not the music. I hate to label any kind of music, but that's the only way you can find what you want sometimes, but the "Grunge" era was mostly straight up rock& roll. They just call certain bands grunge because they came out, or hit it big in the 90's and kinda faded away. The phrase grunge is dead. The music made by "Grunge" bands is still Rock & Roll, so the music style is not dead.

 

[Stigmata]

Grunge isn't rock & roll.

 

[McGooTheWise]

How do you figure?

 

[StardogChampion]

Grunge is just punk rock. Just look at Mudhoney - half their songs are 2:30 long or less. And Nirvana and Pearl Jam are so opposite that they can't both be grunge. Pearl Jam have always been "rock".

 

[Stigmata]

They just got lumped into grunge because they were a little like Nirvana.

 

[nipples]

Grunge was just the label given to Seattle bands at the time. Seattle's scene was really exploited.

If you haven't seen the movie Hype, I suggest you do.

I have listened to all of these bands, and Nirvana is the only one that sounds like Nirvana. Alice in Chains is definitely unique, Pearl Jam is a little more upbeat, and happier than Nirvana, and Soundgarden is... ...Soundgarden.
