Beatles, Zeppelin, Coltrane -- some others I'm sure if I thought about it harder. I never said that it was a theoretical, impossible score, just that I didn't think Pearl Jam deserved it -- they are not a band whose career I look at and think, "Man, here is a band whose body of work is as flawless as I have the right to expect from error-prone human beings." Something close to that, perhaps, especially when I factor in my own sentimental biases in favor of the band, but their last decade has been pretty creatively bereft. That isn't insignificant.stip wrote:what bands do?Kevin Davis wrote:I said 9. They're my "favorite band," inasmuch as any one band fits that bill, but very few bands deserve a career-spanning 10/10.
If the sentimental bias is all that matters, what the hell, give 'em a ten.
