Pearl Jam's first singles

Point is BS without 10

[stip]

ARE YOU PEOPLE FKN NUTS FOR BASING YOUR OPINION WITHOUT 10?!

You're kind of missing the point of the thread.

Chud's right. When Ten came out no one knew who Pearl Jam was. The single did not get any immediate attention. The calculations involved would have been different from the ones made in subsequent albums. The single is not communicating with an established audience.

So in late 92/early 93 when JEREMY, YL, ALIVE, EF were tearing up the charts, your telling me that is un equatable? Come on. ...

There wasn't a "established audience" in 1992-release of VS? LMFAO. ....THAT'S RICH

They had the biggest audience of fans during this time.

I think you might be missing what this thread is going after. Singles as a first impression. Ten was a slow starter, without a built in audience. The inital singles didn't make much of an impression, and the subsequent singles aren't what this thread is about.

Which is why I did include the vs. single

I understand that you guys are leaving 10 out BUT let's do it this way. Let's USE 10 single just at the point when they became relevant. CANNOT EXCLUDE 10

VS single wasn't released till late 93

Who You Are hints that No Code will be more No Codeish than it actually is.

Who You Are hints that No Code will be more No Codeish than it actually is.

WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH 10

[Kevin Davis]

Singles as a first impression.

Dave Grohl said his first impression of PJ after hearing "Alive" on the radio was that they sounded like a bunch of truckers.

The Fixer is definitely indicative of how terrible that album is.

You do know that Dave Grohl was the drummer for Nirvana right? A band which was candidly critical of PJ since day 1

and he was pretty good at it!

[Thejambi]

In most cases these are not the best songs on their respective albums, but are they indicative of those albums?

Regardless of lack of audience or expectations, doesn't Ten still fit the mold of this exercise? To answer this question, the album has to have been listened to in order to evaluate how the lead single represents that album. This really wasn't a first impressions thread...or was it?

in the coonlight.


just 'cause

No, you must be thinking of someone else. Dave Grohl is the lead singer for Foo Fighters.
