#8 Pearl JamI was always more PJ than Nirvana but I’m slow strategy as fuck ...
Agree with Dennis regarding SLTS ... probably the best song of the 90s
The question I have with Nirvana is does that song carry them going forward? What are Nirvana’s Top 2-3 songs outside of SLTS? It’s those songs that always made PJ >>> Nirvana for me -
#1 Nirvana

Honestly I could name 6 Nirvana songs a lot faster than 6 PJ songs (even without using any of the covers off of the GOAT unplugged album), and PJ has about 3000 more songs.
Lithium
Come As You Are
All Apologies
About A Girl
Heart Shaped Box
If we're ranking PJ/Nirvana songs, personally I'd go
SLTS
Black
Lithium
About a Girl
Come As You Are
Heart Shaped Box
Alive
Even Flow
All Apologies
Yellow Ledbetter

#8 Pearl JamNot thinking per se vs PJ ... thinking future rounds
Come As You Are is very good and probably 2nd for me
Heart Shaped Box I’ve never liked much (probably because of the video)
Lithium is probably my 3rd
The older I get and the more removed I am from associating the music with the video Nirvana has grown on me. That said it’s a little to lot darker than Pearl Jam and I tend to not want to go to dark places when listening to music

Pearl Jam are a bunch of kids from Bellevue and a depressed guy from San Diego.

#1 Nirvana
You make a decent point, but does anyone who isn’t a die hard fan give a fuck about any Pearl Jam song after the mid 90’s?oregonblitzkrieg said:Vedder, because he's still alive and the other guy isn't. No question Nirvana is the better band. But Pearl Jam had to age and gets judged on a larger body of work, while Nirvana benefits from a ton of undeserved credit from Cobain's suicide. Great music, some of the best to listen to when you're in an angry mood, but get fucked if you think he was the spokesman of a generation. I know there's at least one douchey fanboy here who voted Cobain because of the myth. Not that it matters, but I'm canceling out your vote.

#1 NirvanaMeanwhile, the band that got absolutely destroyed by Nirvana is selling out Safeco for a 2 night stand beginning this evening. I like a number of PJ tracks, but sweet Jesus are they overrated in the big scheme of things.
