But basically, if it's an artist that a member of pearl jam has cited as an influence, and it's not U2, REM, Zeppelin, or Springsteen, I probably don't like them.

Posts like this are helpful, because they remind me, in my darkest hours, that the problem is everyone else and not me.

Re: UNPOPULAR PEARL JAM OPINIONS
Sometimes I'll be scrolling through the Sirius channels, and a song from Vitalogy will be on the Pearl Jam station. It's pretty awesome when that happens.

But sometimes I'll be like "Oh cool, Last Exit is on!" but then when the full banner scrolls across it says "LAST EXIT (LIVE FROM SOME TIME LAST WEEK)" and I have to change it.

Re: UNPOPULAR PEARL JAM OPINIONS
But I agree, I was obsessed with the who for a while, I dont know if I outgrew them or something, but at this point I easily prefer listening to their first 3 records than anything else from their catalog.

Re: UNPOPULAR PEARL JAM OPINIONS
Don't let 'em get you down, Stip. Surely there has been enough discussion of how high quality mp3s that sound virtually no different to lossless files can render something unlistenable, or how two mixes of the same song that sound negligibly different from one another determine 100% of the gap in one's ability to enjoy the two recordings, or how one live version of a song is superior to 250 other versions that sound more or less identical, for it not to seem weird to someone that putting an entirely new singer into the mix could be a total game changer.

I like how in mobile, the "reply with quote" thing is next to "report this post". Ive been really close to reporting every post I've quoted while being on my phone.
