Let's all just take a moment to remember that Eddie Vedder once made music like this

I hate that sound so much. The very first note(s) of the song are a turn off. Then it just stays terrible throughout. It's the absolute worst. I hate WWS like Kevin Davis hates MYM.

That song just feels more alive than almost anything on the two albums that preceded it

Yeah thank God he went from exploring his musical curiosity to making songs that sound like mid-90s KROQ staples.

Eddie had no involvement with that Hovercraft song (I don't know if he recorded with them at all, actually), but it is pretty funny watching some of you guys lose your shit over a decent space rock noise jam.

Yeah, Ed was only in Hovercraft for a very brief period. I think he might play on a track that came out on 7" but that's it.

I think it's more fascinating that Dave Krusen plays drums on their first album, though I much prefer the guy who plays on their second record (from which the above song is from).
