Pearl Jam=Most overrated band

Punker93 · 06-17-2015, 11:14 AM

I don't know what you guys think, but to me, Pearl Jam is grossly overrated. Ten is a great album, Vs has a few good songs but overall is pretty weak, and Vitalogy is pretty solid, but after that, they have put out nothing but crap. No Code, Yield, Binaural, and all those late 90's and 2000's albums they did are pretty terrible in my mind. I just don't understand why a band that has only put out 2 good albums, 1 ok album, and 7 bad ones gets so much credit. They are by far my least favorite of the big 90's grunge bands. Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots, and Nirvana all blow Pearl Jam out of the water!

Welcome back Urban.

At least they made something vaguely interesting with Ten, as opposed to STP.

Core, Purple, and Tiny Music are 3 of the best 90's rock albums! But we're entitled to our opinions.

Whether or not I see STP as anything other than a Pearl Jam ripoff, I'd still rather listen to Tiny Music over anything PJ ever did.

I've never gotten the whole STP is a PJ rip-off thing. Ten and Core are similar, but after that STP's sound progressed and varies from album to album. Pearl Jam has had the same sound their entire career. Purple, Tiny Music, No 4, and Shangri La Dee Da are nothing are nothing like Pearl Jam

I like STP, but when they first came out, they did sound like the Stone Gossard Pilots.

Vitology is honestly the only album by them I can sit through. Their sound has always been boring af to me.

It is indeed their best. After that, they just started to repeat themselves.
