Outside the US I don't thing they never really rose above one of those bands that have a group of diehards keeping them going.

Well, we basically agree with each other anyway. I think I was mostly just amazed that Pearl Jam's last two albums have apparently charted higher in some some European countries than their 90s releases. I do like some of their music, but you're definitely right about their influence. I honestly can't think of a single band who has inspired more sh
itty bands than they have.

Yeah. I mean for starters I doubt Pearl Jam would have made it big if Nirvana hadn't come and kicked the door down first. Plus, when you look at worldwide album sales it's clear that Nirvana had much more reach than Pearl Jam did.
