Maverick Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Crowes. I don't like Pearl Jam at all. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
custom55 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I have more Black Crowes music ( including Rich Robinson's solo stuff ) and seen them in concert so.... Black Crowes. Their earlier music has a Stones feel to it. I have the Pearl Jam Ten album and it is fantastic music. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Saw both live, and as good as Pearl Jam is, the Crowes were better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Yep, I saw the Crowes in Feb 1990 - they opened for Junkyard, and there were about 5 people watching the Black Crowes They were incredible, and definitely a band that needed to be seen live to be fully appreciated .. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Black Cowes wrote great music. From the heart. Honestly ReRushed great music doesn't have to be innovative to be excellent and Black Crowes are one of the most outstanding bands I have ever come across. Just great song after great song. They made a lasting career and have many fans, and really, in all honesty Pearl Jam are great but they don't exactly have the most consistent discography. Black Crowes do.OK. Again, my point isn't to persuade. Like what you like. I just find the Black Crowes to be a very derivative band.That's hilarious to read on a RUSH forum.

LedRush Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 The Black Crowes are a great band, but they can't match the depth or breadth of PJ's talent or discography. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedRush Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I don't even think Pearl Jam musically belong in a same line with bands Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots, Soundgarden and Alice in Chains. Firstly they don't have nothing in common with metal, secondly they don't have nothing in common with punk rock as these other bands have. PJ is a band from the Seattle scene which is musically closest to the 70's American hard rock sound. Pearl Jam's founding members were in Green River, which is far more punk than any of the bands you listed. They did their classic rock/grunge thing, but have moved back to a more punk sound than any of the bands you listed ever did, other than Nirvana. Of course, I like the non-punk stuff much better.

LedRush Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 This matchup seems very strange to me as the bands are nothing alike. The Black Crowes are much more rooted in classic rock and blues, and Pearl Jam is far more diverse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a better match would be PJ and the Smashing Pumpkins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILSnwdog Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 What an odd combo. Two completely different bands.Those were my thoughts as well. I think I'm going to create a poll pitting Men Without Hats against Jefferson Airplane. ;) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILSnwdog Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 The only album from PJ that I ever cared for was Ten...and it got so over played, I have no desire to here it. As soon as hear Jeremy on the radio, I instantly change the station. I still enjoy listen to the Black Crows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw them live 49 times, over a period of seventeen years- including 16 or 17 shows from July '96 to July '97 alone...among the best live rock and roll I've ever witnessed. Oh, and also- they never played the same set list twice. Time was when you could go to three shows in a row and not hear so much as one repeated song. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, the first album was derivatve of Zeppelin and a song here and there sounds like, or more accurately, is in the style of a trend or what was current, but it alwasys sounded distinctly Rush. I never heard or saw Rush sounding or looking like Yes or ELP or the Police. The influence or inspiration, sure. The Black Crowes come across as carbon copies. Anyway, like I mentioned, l prefer Pearl Jam and Rush to the Black Crowes because I feel they have a more unique identity from their influences than the Black Crowes. They are less derivative. How's that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, other than incorporating new styles, where do they sound like other bands? Are you saying you can confuse "The Enemy Within" with the Police? Or "Everyday Glory" with U2? I never felt that Rush was a band that originated a trend or style. I always felt they went with the flow, so to speak. But, I never felt they were derivative to the point of unoriginality. I don't feel that way about the Black Crowes. I remember when they came out in the early 1990s and thinking they were a tribute band. Now, that doesn't mean they weren't capable of having a good song. They were never my thing, that's all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod in Toronto Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Pearl Jam, by a long shot. I just realized yesterday that I saw the Black Crowes live in 1996 opening for Page/Plant and didn´t even remember the show - and no, I wasn´t drinking then! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick N. Backer Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Ten and Vs are like Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman. They're so flawless that you can be spotty for the next thirty years and still be seen as a great artist. :) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're so flawless that you can be spotty for the next thirty years and still be seen as a great artist. :) Just like with the Smashing Pumpkins, you can take outtakes from the first 3 albums and make another great album from that. Pumpkins actually did do that, and Pearl Jam came close with Lost Dogs, though they included a lot of crap too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The band grew up a ton between Shake Your Money Maker and Southern Harmony, and again between Southern Harmony and Amorica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't go out of my way to listen to them, but I heard enough and watched enough videos to reach the conclusion that they aped their influences. Now, it's not my opinion that they are bad at doing it, they are good at what they do, nostalgia and tribute. Like 'em all you want. I simply find them derivative and unoriginal.
