Members fuzzface71 Posted August 26, 2005 Members Share Posted August 26, 2005 The Pixies vs. Nirvana thread is a nice try, but IMO this is a better match up. (It's like comparing father to son) The both came out almost at the same time and pretty much influenced the music industry for the last 10-15 years. How many Nirvana and Pearl Jam clones have we seen in the last 15 years?! Fashion, music, etc.. It coined the word "Grunge". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members hookstrapped Posted August 26, 2005 Members Share Posted August 26, 2005 I was a big Pearl Jam fan in the early days but maybe it's the fact that so many other bands came out sounding like them that they diminished in my eyes (ears). Nirvana can still startle me with their freshness while Pearl Jam grew tiresome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TigerInATrance Posted August 26, 2005 Members Share Posted August 26, 2005 Pearl Jam. Hands down. As a band they are briliant together... And far better musicianship than Nirvana. I even much prefer Pearl Jam's songwriting to Kurt Cobain's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just seem to get better and better too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members daydream nation Posted August 26, 2005 Members Share Posted August 26, 2005 Nirvana all the way... just because PJ did some stuff I wasn't really into, and I happen to like all of Nirvana's albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Seth Carmody Posted August 26, 2005 Members Share Posted August 26, 2005 Considering In Utero is still one of my favourite albums, and I can't even sit through a Pearl Jam song anymore.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fuzzface71 Posted August 26, 2005 Author Members Share Posted August 26, 2005 When both bands came out, they equally influenced me. And I both love them both, equally. If Kurt have lived longer for me to hate albums he made, then that would be a different story.Pearl Jam stayed long enough, for me to get sick of them. I stopped buying PJ albums after No Code. Got Yield for a few days, then brought it back to the store.The "Temple Of The Dog" cd IMO, is the best PJ cd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Wilbo26 Posted August 26, 2005 Members Share Posted August 26, 2005 Nirvana all the way. They were one of the reasons I picked up a guitar, and to this day I'll sit down and play some of their songs every once in a while. I never play Pearl Jam songs anymore, not even the venerable Yellow Ledbetter. Thats not to say I don't love Pearl Jam, Vs. is still on of my favorite albums, but I still get into a big Nirvana kick several times a year.

Members dZjupp Posted August 26, 2005 Members Share Posted August 26, 2005 ha ha, another vs. thread to start the day off right! i was infatuated with pearl jam, which pisses me off now because now that i'm older i realize how much of a bunch of posers they are. this being said my musical life was overshadowed by them for a long time. thankfully i have discovered more than i could have imagined thanks to the internet and friends. i would say that nirvana will be remembered as THE band from the nineties. pearl jam are a bunch of wankers, the only gerat thing they kind of did was Temple of the Dog, that album still rings true to me til this day, of course Chris Cornell was at his prime back then to, i mean "Seasons" off the singles soudntrack was one of the best songs ever......

Members clayton explode Posted August 27, 2005 Members Share Posted August 27, 2005 after the first two pearl jam albums, they went downhill. vitalogy had some good songs, but nirvana takes the cake. one of my favourite bands and in utero is one of my favourite albums as well. the temple of the dog cd was a major let down, only had a few good songs. green river was better and had the dudes from pj plus mark arm before pj.

Members tommyn Posted August 29, 2005 Members Share Posted August 29, 2005 Nirvana. While I like Pearl Jam they're probably my least favorite of the big bands used to represent the whole grunge era, behind also the Pumpkins and Soundgarden.

Members Brian Marshall Posted August 29, 2005 Members Share Posted August 29, 2005 pearl jam was what you'd put on when there were girls in the car... I think they were the least significant of the seattle bands of that era that broke in to regular radio... unfortunately they were the most influential Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
