Was PJ ever The Biggest Band In The World?

[McParadigm]

- "Brothers In Arms" was pushed as a state-of-the-art digital recording and was one of the first albums to be marketed/hyped as an essential compact disc to own, and was thus the first compact disc to sell over a million copies.

An example of the stars aligning for a band at just the right time.

And like Dark Side of the Moon, it blew up in part because its production outperformed the supposed technical revolution it was trying to take advantage of. It sounded a lot better than most of the records being pushed as innovators.

And if so ... when exactly?

I would argue no. Nirvana was more popular throughout the world 1991-1994.

PJ went through the whole Ticketmaster / difficulty touring normal venues thing...

And then Hootie & The Blowfish hit the scene in ‘95.

I think it's safe to say that in 1993-1994 Pearl Jam was the biggest rock band in America. The world is tough. If you told me it's still u2 I'd probably believe you.
