Successwise yeah its Metalica, but musicallywise its Pearl Jam. They are also "quite" successfull and have a career for almost 20 years+ and all good new rock bands mention them as an influence: Kings Of Leon, The Strokes, Ben Harper, The Killers etc etc. Being a diehard i must inform you that while not being in the spotlight for the last 10 years cause they choose to not overpromote themselves(no videos) while maintaining their integrity, again they sold 30 million albums in USA only.

Ten = 10m, Vs = 6m, Vitalogy = 5m, No Code = 1,5m, Yield = 2m, Live on 2 legs = 1m, Binaural = 800K, Riot Act = 600K, Selftitled = 800K + dont forget the live bootlegs they started to release in 2000 and sold a lot of them, almost 2m by now. They have one of the best fanclubs, that's a fact confirmed by Bono and others. The main fact why Pearl Jam are our generation's Led Zepp is the diversity they have shown over the years, listen to any two albums in a row and tell me they sound a like.

[PJ17MKD]

And Eddie Vedder, he's a legend himself, Pearl Jam or him only has shared a stage/collaborated with so many other legends like the Doors, Neil Finn, Neil Young(made an album together-Mirror Ball)), Paul and Ringo, Robert Plant, the Stones, the Who, Bruce Springsteen, REM, just to name a few. To conclude my rant i'd say that they are still a touring force that sells-out arenas and still creating a music that is vital & the most important - a band with conscience and without rockstar egos.

[PJ17MKD]

I just forgot the most impotant thing: check "Given To Fly " here on youTube if you don't know the song already. It sounds a lot like "Going to California" from Led Zepps "IV" :))) Cheers.

no radiohead?

[frustratedrockstars]

No, they were nowhere near as influential and big as Metallica. Thanks for watching!

[zbwald]

true, but they have maintained a solid fanbase and have been big for 10 years. in 2018, i think the general public will regard radiohead as the best band of the last 20-30 years.

[frustratedrockstars]

Good point about the fanbase after all these years. We'll see what happens over the next decade :-)

You guys are funny when you're tipsy.

[frustratedrockstars]

lol, I thought we could hide it, but I guess not! Thanks for watching.
