Skin Bag Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 This was an easy vote but I will not be able to do so in the next round, which will be Led Zeppelin vs. Rush. That is the ultimate Sophie's Choice for me! I would like to see either of those two go against The Who in the final bracket. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snyder80 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) Is this a real question? Rush vs. Pearl Jam? Who in the f**k comes up with these contests? Eddie Vedder is one of the most pretentious douche bags that has ever walked the earth. f**k him and his band.

Rutlefan Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Pearl Jam won..... :o More evidence that democracy is extremely flawed, though to be fair, I'm not sure an elite group of privileged land owners would have been any more likely to have picked Rush. Hmmm, back to square one on the ideal system of government issue, though I am sure that Stalin and Mao would have been huge Pearl Jam fans, completely misreading Eddie Vedder as an authentic voice of populist protest and dismissing Rush as elitist bourgeoisie bombast, so totalitarian police states are right out. I couldn't live in a society where the state sanctions Pearl Jam. Dystopia indeed. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LedRush Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 I don't get all the Pearl Jam hate. They are among the best bands that led a resurgence of rock music in popular culture after over a decade of crappy pop music which also very negatively affected Rush. They weren't built to last, but they had 4 great albums in 7 years...that's nothing to sneeze at. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They weren't built to last, but they had 4 great albums in 7 years...that's nothing to sneeze at. It's not so much hate as it is realism. Is Pearl Jam really worthy of standing shoulder to shoulder with Rush? I suppose that's a subjective question and everyone is entitled to their own opinion but personally I find it a bit ridiculous. Secondly, some of the things I've heard regarding Pearl Jam over the years overshadow any fanboy comment you can make about anyone else. Claiming Eddie Vedder as the best vocalist on the 20th century, comparing Mike McCready to Jimi Hendrix or Eric Clapton. And I especially love how Eddie Vedder had to force feed his radical political views upon the viewing eyes and ears of anyone whoever dared listen to them, going so far as to sit side by side with three men in Memphis who were convicted of murdering a couple of little boys. Some of their music may have been good, but it certainly won't be remembered next to the likes of Rush 100 years from now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never heard anyone compare Mccready to Hendrix. The fact is, Pearl Jam have been one of the more consistent bands of the past 25 years. They tour relentlessly and put out new material. I'm not a huge fan, but I respect what they've done. They are much more organic than a band like Rush..easier to relate to. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rushman14 Posted April 4, 2014 Author Share Posted April 4, 2014 (edited) I was blown away by Pearl Jam the first time I saw them at Lollapalooza '92. Their more recent albums have been hit and miss but they still bring it live. Edited April 4, 2014 by Rushman14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
