It may be nostalgia but i cant imagine the 90s without Pearl jam and jeremy so i kinda give them a pass despite ive never really cared for their albums.

I don't know, I just joined this forum so maybe they're unpopular here, but I feel like they're still generally well respected in other spheres, which completely baffles me. I'm usually a live and let live kind of guy when it comes to music taste, but I really cannot comprehend how anyone elevates them above a Nickelback/Creed buttrock level of mediocrity.

Also I'm with BF that PJ is better than those other bands. 1/10 is better than 0/10, after all.

I wonder if they're depressed that their influence on rock is one of the final nails in its coffin?

That's fair. That comparison was perhaps a bit of hyperbole on my part, haha.
