Dude how can you diss Pearl Jam while clamoring over a band whose most well known song is a downright imitation of Pearl Jam? STP's whole discography is pretty much just a variety of Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains and Soundgarden copycat songs. They still have some good stuff, don't get me wrong, but they're one of the most unoriginal bands ever. Pearl Jam at least had an identity of their own.

I do like Post, and some of their other singles. But that's about it.

"Last Kiss" is a pretty faithful cover of the original so I wouldn't even really count that as a Pearl Jam song to be honest.

Although I am a big STP fan, Pearl Jam has quite an edge over STP in my opinion. Mainly because could be alot more flexible with their music. With Eddie Vedder's voice that can go from earthy to hardcore and everywhere in between and Mike McCready putting together some powerful guitar riffs they have been able to make a lot more fresh new music. Take "Drifting" and "Spin the Black Circle" for example. Two completely different approaches that Pearl Jam has taken, but yet coming from one band. It keeps me interested for sure. STP is just a little more predictable.

I actually like both bands but I voted Pearl Jam. I think they have a stronger and more diverse output. Granted that I'm the only person I know of who thinks highly of Riot Act.

I dunno, theres just something that makes them so totally unbiasedly DIFFERENT.

I hear the Nirvana in "Purple", yeah.

I have never knowingly heard a song by either group. The names of some of the more "famous" groups that get bandied around sometimes seem to have passed me by. I feel very sheltered sometimes.
