driventotheedge Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Soundgarden as an exmple was more in line with Classic Sabbath IMO. MickAgree and that's why I voted for them. I like them all though when AiC is in their droning, sludgy heroin mode they're difficult to listen to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ancient Ways Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Pearl Jam did a good job at alienating a lot of their fans after their third album. A good chunk of the albums that came after had songs with too much focus on alt. rock, too much screaming in Eddie´s vocals and not much in terms of melody, execpt a handful of songs. But they´ve sort of changed it around a bit recently.Based on the biographical Cameron Crowe movie I would say they did this on purpose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New_World_Man Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 They are all good but AIC is probably my favorite. If there was going to be a fifth band I would say it would probably be Stone Temple Pilots. Does anyone else agree with that? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod in Toronto Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 About PJ: I tried to enjoy Binaural, but it´s just not my thing. The Avocado album is 50/50 for me, but with two awesome songs: Marker in the Sand and Unemployable. No Code, Yield, Backspacer and surprisingly Riot Act are my favourite ones for a full listen these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Avocado. Or Backspacer. Loved Lightning Bolt though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILSnwdog Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I voted for Nirvana, but truth be told, all four of those bands have been played to death, and I could die a happy man if I never hear one of their songs again.

treeduck Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 (edited) Ok ILSnwdog's in the thread. We better just put down our CDs and slowly back away from them while he reviews them and tells us whether we should be listening to them or not. And if it's not then he'll burn them all with his flame throwing bullet CD destroyer gun :bang bang: Edited July 18, 2016 by treeduck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g under p Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 PJ is the best of the bunch, by a looooooong shot. They've been around the longest, and aside from the drummer, have kept the same lineup. All others have good moments and songs, but PJ are the most consistent. They have their share of amelodic songs, but each album has a cool melodic track for those who miss them. And Eddie Vedder is an absolute monster on the stage. Not to mention that each night they play, the setlist is completely different - 100% unique! I completely agree with this, besides they play their live shows forever with multiple encores almost 3 hours. That's one of the unique things about the band is their setlist is that it does change completely from show to show. They have a faithful following like the Grateful Dead because of that. I've argued on their board about RUSH and how RUSH hardly ever changes their setlist from show to show. I sometimes have to remind them it's only three members to RUSH and it's just not so easy and simple to change things up from show to show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rutlefan Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 (edited) Nirvana, no close second for me, while I admit to the greatness of those other bands. I used to really dislike PJ but eventually had to notice that they have become a historically great rock band over the years (still can't watch five seconds of "Jeremy" though). Still find it amazing that Kurt could take a chord structure so simple as this, with repetitively simple lyrics, sloppy (intentionally?) guitar, and make a completely kickarse song out of it all; and a throwaway song as well. The guy had a very very rare gift (obviously). Despite a sincere disinterest in pandering to his audience, and being almost always dark and morose, his songs are usually catchy; a natural songwriter if there ever was: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zknlwXuGJUg Edited July 19, 2016 by Rutlefan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
