    I want to give this guy the benefit of the doubt on sarcasm, but he's a Mariners fan, so I dunno.

    They had one great, epic album and then lived off of it for 30 years. If we're being truthful.

    How many bands can say they put out a greatest hits album for their first album? I’m sure there are a few, but the list is short, IMO

    I’d say 1 all timer, plus three pretty good ones

    Three feels like a stretch. One all timer and one or two other worthwhile entries.

    I think No Code is a “good” but not “great” album.

    I think this is more in the context of bands that had greatest level debuts and then were kinda meh after that. Certainly not the case with VH.

    @YellowSnow

    30 years later and they sell out arenas. They headline major music festivals. Night after night after fucking night. All over the world.

    If that's not winning, I don't know what is.

    No. No one lives off one album for 30 years.

    They continued to add to their repertoire along the way.

    There are no two concerts the same; the set list is never the same.

    This will make @dnc cringe, but McCready's solos are greater than anything Vedder does vocally imo.


    It just seems to get better and better and better.

    I like all of them better than Vedder.

    I went to a sports event, can't remember which, and the Pearl Jam guitarist played the national anthem. Not technically gifted guitar playing.

    I'm not saying Pearl Jam haven't had a long successful career. Obviously they have a very devoted fan base.

    I just don't think their body of work in terms of a string of all time classic LPs puts them in the GOAT conversation. As I've said before, Ten is Top 5 album of the early 90s. VS, Vitalogy, and No Code are all good (not great) albums. After that I'm pretty much meh on PJ.
