Members Stubacca Posted December 21, 2012 Members Share Posted December 21, 2012 Pumkins are good but is this really a question? PJ DESTROYS Pumkins in every way possible. Duh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tommyld Posted December 21, 2012 Members Share Posted December 21, 2012 Hahaha, oh man! I can't think of two bands who I give my friends a harder time for liking. Pearl Jam, cause nothing about their music moves me...and SP, cause Billy Corgan acts like such a douche.So, I'm gonna say SP is better, cause I think I have fewer problems with their music/sound. Basically, if I could make a mix of both band's best songs, I think I'd enjoy SP's a lot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearl Jam was the first band to sell out our (then) new arena, they even sold out in the rear auditorium where the folks could only see the back of the band. In comparison, Smashing Pumpkins couldn't sell out 3/4 of the arena even when blowing out tickets for $20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members houseofglass21 Posted December 21, 2012 Members Share Posted December 21, 2012 So tell us arthurdent'd, what bands do you and your breaux of breaux's christianatl think are good? Don't worry homie, I listen to the Stooges and Jesus Lizard too, but I don't limit myself on what I can like because of some macho noise rock scenester bull{censored}. Return the cooling card...

Members V Posted December 21, 2012 Members Share Posted December 21, 2012 Originally Posted by deanmass Love both. Pumpkins rock harder, Pearl Jam groove/jam better.

Members melx Posted December 21, 2012 Members Share Posted December 21, 2012 Gonna have to say PJ... Vedder is a much better vocalist .. it's a bit chalk and cheese for me though really and I listen to both for different reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vinnies Posted December 21, 2012 Members Share Posted December 21, 2012 Originally Posted by notjonahbutnoah Both their strong suits are songwriting. Both their weak points are the vocals. That said, I never really got into PJ put jame out to Siamese Dream on the regular so personally, I say Pumpkins. whoa. vedder's an amazing singer. guy has some serious range and still screams like he was a kid. that said, PJ. pumpkins are OK, but i've gotten serious chills from a bunch of PJ songs. vocals and guitars have both hit me pretty hard with those guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Expressway to yr Skull Posted December 21, 2012 Members Share Posted December 21, 2012 Pumpkins all the way.Full of ideas and inventiveness and sometimes heavy as {censored}.Never could stand PJ and a curse on Vedder for influencing dozens of mumbling imitators.

Return the cooling card... lol easy mang, just bustin' balls....neither of those bands have been in my rotation much lately. I do love them both of course, and I like the Cure as well, don't listen to them much these days either....mostly been obsessed with Bachs Brandeburg concertos....and Keith Jarret solo Bremen concerts, I listen to Jazz and classical when I paint, and I spend most of my time these days painting. But seriously, Depeche Mode sucks almost as much as the Beach Boys. I am way too old and square to want a cool card or participate in a scene.
