pearl jam's two best albums IMO are vs and no code which by memory came out in 93 and 96 respectfully. i don't think their last two albums are as good as the ones before it but its still a universe ahead of the crap called "rock" these days like jet, nickelback and three days grace. temple of the dog is the single best thing anyone from that group ever did, the emotion is just so obvious and cornell particulary in "say hello 2 heaven" is just on fire!

you are SO kicked out of the nice discussion area, that in not only name calling, but blasphemy as well. poo head.
lol yeah, his voice WAS a lot better than it IS. however, as you said, he is far from being done, hes still got a lot of steam. maybe he quit smoking, and didnt tell us, and this next audioslave cd will be a testament to his vocal chords. maybe. say hello to heaven........ oh soooooo good

THe best thing that Soundgarden did was release "Superunkown" which is critically acclaimed as one of the top rock albums of the 90's. |

lol i'm a poo head.....oh that one hurts! i agree he is far from done and the first audioslave album kicks a lot of bootie. however both badmotorfinger and superunknown for me are clearly better hard rock albums (albums before and after not quite as good) and the totd project and his solo album are better again. the emotion in say hello to heaven is just amazing and he wrote some amazing songs on that album. well i have the solution to this whole cornell v vedder debate, everyone just listen to "hunger strike" on the totd album and have them both!

you would see if you read the quote correctly that i said anyone in that band ever did, not what soundgarden did. temple of the dog is not soundgarden.....

Pearl Jam's "best stuff" is not in the nineties. Their commercial "decline" is due to the fact that they did not sell out to Sony interests. They distributed fewer albums with less fanfare a la the Dead.
McCready and Gossard are miles ahead of Thayil. McCready plays an eclectic mix of funk and rock with a blues tinge that finds its home in quiet ballads. Thayil, although magnificent, was much more straightforward and hard-hitting. Where Thayil would lay down a hard rock riff, McCready would play off Gossard's tempo and Vedder's vocals to create an atmosphere not seen (nor appreciated) during the era. Catchy riffs and style do not equal talent. McCready is the shit. Play Nothingman, Yellow Ledbetter, the solo in Alive, Down, the entire Mad Season album, TotD, etc. Pearl Jam stuck to their roots, stayed true to the art and play to their fans and their fans only. No other band on that list does that or did that. They are a dying breed of rock musicians with no commercial interest and only that of providing quality music to those who truly appreciate it while inspiring development and rational thought. Ten and Vs. caught the eye of the public, but the public failed to grow with the band and adopted the Spice Girls and Third Eye Blind as well as numerous other "post-Grunge" bands with no talent. Soundgarden, STP, and to a certain extent, AIC existed in the moment and died with the moment. Nirvana was a product of another revolution and paved the way for grunge. Pearl Jam embodied and continue to embody grunge in their undying angst and style. That is why they kick ass.

I'll add a couple of things.....firstly critics are now seeing an underated album like no code is amongst pj's best. secondly i'ld disagree with jango and say that binaural and riot act do not lay a candle to what came before that. some of the matt cameron stuff on those two albums are filler and a half IMO.

yeah.... I'd hardly say that Binaural or Riot Act are excellent albums. I own the former, and there's only a couple songs on there to which I can stand giving a listen (the same goes for Vitalogy). That's not to say that those songs suck, tho. I don't own Riot Act, but I've got a few friends who do, and they absolutely hate it. And Jango, I don't think they've stuck to their roots. If they had, then every other album they've got would be as awesome as Ten was. Instead, now they're trying to fill the void that Rage left by making political commentaries galore.

MEh, I always thought System of a down was filling that huge viod that Rage left, considering Sej works with Tom on the axis of justice. |

Again, this is not about radio spins. Have you ever tried to get tickets to a Pearl Jam show? They are still selling out arenas despite the lack of radio play of their newer music. One show I went to a couple of years ago sold out in 18 minutes. I was lucky to get two tickets. The hundreds of people behind me in line were SOL. You can't judge a fan base by what is played on the radio, as that is pretty much controlled by the corporations that think they know what people will listen to/buy. They keep trying to shove music like Evanescence and Good Charlotte down our throats, but it's not working, at least for me. I stopped listening to commercial radio two years ago.
