I like Pearl Jam, it's just that with a song like...let's say Yellow Ledbetter, great song, but you must have one good ear if you can understand word for word.

But hey, it's still a good song.

I think most vocalists are like that. You can catch a few lines here and there, but you're going to need a lyrics sheet to understand it all.

I guess, but yeah there has been worse.

He's definitely more understandable than Chris Cornell or Kurt Cobain.

He's not more understandable than Kurt Cobain. I was able to work out almost the entire Nevermind album without lyric site apart from 1 song I got a little stuck on. For the most part Kurt is easy to understand.

Perhaps a songbook would suffice then?

Yes, and this is where I say "well I could work out almost all the lyrics on Ten without a lyric book".

I'm not the one who said Vedder was hard to understand though am I? So if you said that, it'd be pretty useless information to me.

You said Kurt is hard to understand and I think he's a little easier to understand than Vedder.

That's one of the most easy Nirvana songs to understand, I never had a problem figuring out the lyrics.

I think you're in the minority on that one, good sir.
