Nirvana were pioneers. Pearl Jam is in no means in anyone's shadow though. They have their own shadow which bands are in. Soundgarden stood alone as well. Everyone is quick to forget other bands though. Alice in Chains never gets the respect that they deserve. They should be included in the group with the other three bands I mentioned. Yes they were alot harder but their song writing and musical talent was amazing! Damn I miss the 90's!
@marlinman892004 And don’t forget the Stone Temple Pilots, I know they weren’t from Seattle but they were in the same league! Together, AIC, Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam and STP make up my favorite bands. In order, I’d have to say (first to last) Soundgarden, Nirvana, AIC, STP and Pearl Jam, but they were all massively talented and they’re about 70% of what I listen to. All so talented in different ways :P
@xXgrungie You are right about that. I am happy you mentioned STP. Unlike Alice in Chains who receive a little credit. For some reason STP seems to always be forgotten, even though they were an amazing band. Their music had their own unique sound. It sucks that people look at them as a commercialized fake of nirvana because they definately were not. They had their own unique sound and they were amazing musicians. Kudos to you and your top 5 bands because your list is excellent :)
@marlinman892004 Thanks, it’s rare that people agree with me about my list! STP usually causes some big argument, but so many grunge bands came from outside Seattle, like L7, Babes in Toyland, and Hole and they all had the same sound no matter where they were from.
So yes, you have a spectacular music taste as far as I know ;)
And to you and everyone else, if you haven’t seen PJ20, it’s amazing, it really makes you think. Such a good movie, I strongly suggest you watch it.
Pearl Jam and Nirvana are great, but in my mind, Soundgarden was the best and most talented of that scene and will always be my favorite band. All 3 are lightyears ahead of the rock music of today.
Recently I was awakened to the fact that I've been missing something extremely important in my life without even knowing it.... And that something is Pearl Jam
I love Nirvana and I'm trying to get into Pearl Jam but every song sounds the same to me. It sounds like they use 1 chord throughout each song. Is this meant to be a fusion between grunge and minimalist music?
@J4m3z1 Are you kidding me? Man, most of Pearl Jam songs uses a wide variety of chords. Oceans (this songs) has like 8 chords, including variations. Anyway, a song is not better because it's made with more chords. Remember Something in the Way? Great song and just two chords
@J4m3z1 I think when you wrote that you hadn't heard much Pearl Jam. No two albums from PJ sound similar. That is partly why they lost so much of the limelight after the first couple of albums and obtained the underground cult-like fanbase, because their sound changed so drastically. I bought their first 7 studio albums and each one is unique and represents a different time-period in my life. Very few bands can claim that kind of diversity in their sound.
@J4m3z1 If you compare the albums "Ten" and "No Code", you'll find they almost sound like two completely different bands because of the style difference. They aren't an attempt to fit into any 1 genre, nor are they trying to go for some "fusion" concept. One of the many differences between Nirvana and Pearl Jam might be the way Nirvana had a more definable attitude and aesthetic. Pearl Jam was a bit more amorphous and difficult to label. You'll of course get arguments about this.
@J4m3z1 By the way, I hate comparing Nivana and Pearl Jam, I am only mentioning them because you did. Try to not approach PJ like that. "I love Nirvana, so I should also listen to Pearl Jam." Just approach them as a completely different band and set up no expectations or demands. It is a whole different experience.
@CrystallineAscension im glad you posted this about your husband being deployed to Germany after Desert Storm. This song, too, touches me in more ways than anything else. "Oceans Apart" makes a whole lot of sense :)
I purchased this album in 1992. I thought it was the best album I had ever bought in my LIFE. Every song on the CD is just so freaking deep. You can feel the songs. I had never experienced anything like that in music before. Ten is one of the best albums in music history. To understand this, you have to understand that the music out there at the time was as shallow as it is today. I'm not saying this was the first grunge album to ever come out, but wow what a masterpiece.
@nnnnnate Well Said. This album came along at the right time. Nirvana was a racket, good stuff, but it was a noise. Pearl Jam was Mozart, classical hard core rock and roll.
Can we please get more bands from the 90s back together so we can have something good to listen to again? What we're getting these days is pure rubbish.
@JessTrippy That's what restless, pathetic "I live in my moms basement, I'm 34 and divorced and I used to live in a van down by the river and I still play dungeons and dragons" kind of people do.
@OriginalityImpaired Totally agree. This is a band that holds the power to give you tingles down your spine, To let you close your eyes and drift along the waves of music, to take you to a place outside of yourself. I honestly cannot name one single band that has done that for me in the past 5, maybe even 10 years!! Bring back music with meaning and passion!!!
@Bananiolo so fking true tho i think world wide suicide was a minor fail i never lisen to that song by choice ever but i think they were just grabbing at something different probly trying to make a comeback though they Never needed to!
I was thinking the same thing. Listening to this song takes me back to the time when it came out...to the point where I can almost smell and taste it. Amazing what power music holds.
If you can't find tranquility in this song,then you really don't recognise good music! I feel sleepy everytime I listen to this song,Eddie's voice is so peaceful .
