What makes Pearl Jam so divisive? Is it just Vedders voice?

Julian White
Lucas Phillips
Nickelback and creed
Oliver Foster
nothing, they are just as bad as all the other grunge bands
Robert Flores
This, and also, yeah, his yarling is fucking terrible, and has unfortunately proven to be the most influential aspect of PJ's music: literally, during the nu metal fad of the early 00s, 80% of the most popular mainstream rock bands in the west featured a vocalist who tried to imitate eddie vedder (and scott weiland).
Henry Sanders
>im hungryyyyyyyyy
nigga just eat something lmao
Jace Lewis
lol
just go outside
Jacob Sanders
IT’S. MY. BLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD
Charles Johnson
It's their general tameness that disgusts
Colton Cox
t. only listened to the singles from Ten
That describes most of Pearl Jam's critics actually. Maybe because the band self-sabotaged after that and didn't make any music videos, I don't know. Vitalogy takes more risks than 95% of 90s alt rock
Joseph Long
they're just not very good
Lincoln Foster
>for years i thought that cumbersome song was a pearl jam song
Xavier Price
Hackey sack on the quad, kind bud and those felt top hats.
Gabriel Morris
this, grunge=shit
Lucas Morris
They got better when Eddie took up guitars. He gave them more of a garage feel than the arena rock stuff of Ten.
Elijah Howard
Okay yeah I get Vedder's voice can easily filter a lot of people but why the fuck everyone pretend he does that all the time? After Vitalogy he barely keeps doing it in most of the songs
Plus it's not like if the rest of buttrock bands wouldn't ripped off either Cobain (Lifehouse, Puddle of Mudd, Godsmack) or Staley (Staind, Seether, Breaking Benjamin)
Leo Wright
They're good. Vitalogy is a great album. Kurt Cobain dismissed them because he was a try-hard and people went along with it. I think even he'd grow to appreciate them if he'd live. And yeah they had a lot of shitty imitators but that's the norm for any band who achieves that level of success.
Also,
Nirvana > Smashing Pumpkins > Hole > Pearl Jam > Soundgarden > Alice in Chains > Stone Temple Pilots > Foo Fighters
Ayden Morris
>Vitalogy is a great album
I keep coming back to it after all these years. It's really underrated
Cooper Morales
>He gave them more of a garage feel than the arena rock stuff of Ten.
That's when they stopped making 10/10 albums like Ten and Vs and instead made 7/10 albums.
Christian Jones
>Hole
As a grunge connoisseur, Pretty on the Inside is fucking trash. Pure fucking shit.
Owen Martinez
He already started playing on Vitalogy. You already see a few anons above who love it. Although I like Yield because it's kind of a mix of better parts of their anthemic and garage sound.
Aaron Reyes
Live Through This more than makes up for it.
Lincoln Hall
>Nirvana > Smashing Pumpkins > Hole > Pearl Jam > Soundgarden > Alice in Chains > Stone Temple Pilots > Foo Fighters
No you asshole is actually this
Smashing Pumpkins > Soundgarden > Pearl Jam > Mudhoney > Alice in Chains > Melvins > Nirvana > Stone Temple Pilots > Foo Fighters > Hole
