It's easier that way.
I don't know if this is because of my age or because I live in germany but almost no one even knows Pearl Jam when I mention them.
thats terrible. most of the people i know wanna go to the shows in philly.
I work with a bunch of girls in their mid-twenties...they have no idea who Pearl Jam is :?
i met a few people who didnt know who pearl jam is. they were obviously terrible, terrible people.

I narrowed it down to these 3 mainly because I hate the other 9 to varying degrees.
Getaway, Sirens, Pendulum.

If the goal is to represent the disparate nature of this album, then the Sirens/Pendulum juxtaposition is important.

I feel as if, when all is said and done, the prevailing message of latter-day "inspirational" Pearl Jam is that any one of us -- large, small, fat, thin, gay, straight, disabled or able-bodied -- could have risen from the ashes of Mother Love Bone.

Why'd you have to say able-bodied last? we're people too you know.

I guess you maybe don't register on my radar the same way I do.

Oh, shit. I think I fucked up. I accidentally smoked the ashes of Mother Love Bone.

Would you guys mind holding off on rising from the ashes for a while?

That must have gotten really awkward when you left to take a piss during Mike's Even Flow solo.
I stood knee deep in McCready's tears when I left the toilet. From then on I just let it go whenever and whereever I wanted.
Not to be insensitive, but that was probably more than just the tears of McCready you were knee deep in.

So I finally got around to listening to the stream. Overall, I thought it was a solid record on first listen. My 3 faves were "Swallowed Whole", "Getaway" and "My Father's Son".

It's hard to imagine that question coming in without a very peanut buttery layer of sarcasm spread over the top, so I'd probably suggest that they grab Profound Circus, Wounds Left Unhealed, and Raargh.

I feel the need to take a shower even though it was 3 years ago.

RM is mostly comprised of Andy Wood's taint.

Correction: Anyone could have risen from the ashes of MLB—except for Andy Wood because he died.

Too soon?

I'd tell them to download My Father's Son, Infallible and Yellow Moon. Firstly because I think they're great and because they show the whole range of modern Pearl Jam. Well, a lot of the whole range.

I'd say go with your gut on this one. Bring extra soap.
