I love grunge!! was popular when I was in high school in the early 1990's....I think it is very similar to metal in general cause it is so hard...My favorite grunge bands are: Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots...is excellent music!!

Yeah! a Pearl Jam discussion! I have all thier albums so far except for the new extended version of Ten that came out last year. Here's my top five...
1. Ten.
2. Vs.
3. Binaural.
4. Backspacer
5. Riot Act
My least favourite is No Code, the songs on it are amazing but the production quality is absolutely dire, even by grunge standards.

I have a lot of Pearl Jam albuns, and if you like a list (at least my list), my top5:
1-Vs (1993) 2-Ten (1991) 3-Pearl Jam (2006) 4-Riot Act (2002) 5-Backspacer (2009) [not because is the 'worst' of all 5, but because I'm getting used to it]

I own Ten, VS, Binaural, Pearl Jam and Backspacer. Ten is quite brilliant, VS great in places but as a whole somewhat unsatisfying (Go and Rearviewmirror are my favourites). I've listened to Binaural only a couple of times and haven't really gotten anything from it, but the self titled is a really good rock album. Strong material with no big downhills or uphills. Backspacer was a massive surprise, and a positive one. Good straight ahead rocking, a couple of really beautiful songs (influenced by Eddie Vedder's soundtrack to the movie Into the Wild, I guess) and some calmer rockers, all in perfect balance on an album of perfect length.
Ranking at the moment: 1. Backspacer 2. Ten 3. Pearl Jam 4. VS 5. Binaural

I have three Pearl Jam albums: Ten (a masterpiece), Yield (which I also like a lot), and Riot Act (somewhat disappointing). Personally, I think Ten is way better than Nevermind, but I know many people would disagree with me.

Not sure if this is the best example, but this song kind of came to mind while listening to the Svarti Loghin song.

The guitar playing resembles Pearl Jam. The clean vocals at the beginning do remind me of Eddie Vedder in early Pearl Jam. The ones at the end reminded me more of Temple of the Dog, which was also a project that Eddie sang on.

 a realy good song I must say, and yes it sounds like a Pearl Jam song and the singer sounds like Eddie Vedder so yes. I like Black Metal but not all its to gloomy for me and what i have heard lacks a litle neuance, I am more of the kinde who like the more comercial black metal, symphonic and black metal crossed over to death metal,
Dimmu Borgir is rudimentary band and Puritania are on of the greatest metal songs ever.
Vreid is cool, Gorgoroth are okey, nice live, but im not huge fan

Vitalogy has Spin The Black Circle, Tremor Christ, Nothingman, and Corduroy.
I have most of the rest of their albums and there are some pretty good songs scattered throughout but I haven't listened to them in quite awhile so can't really recommend anything specific. Binaural was pretty good, and actually I really enjoyed Backspacer when it came out. I listened to it a number of times, but not recently. Hmmm.. sounds like my next listen should be Backspacer.

Speaking of Pearl Jam, I got to ask something too (sorry, heh!). Svarti Loghin (black metuhhl) is said to use Pearl Jam -like vocals on the newest album, here's a clip:
I'm just interested as a total outsider to grunge / Pearl Jam, that are the Pearl Jam influences how clear? It would be interesting to hear a comment from someone who is not so much into black metal like other people I've seen talking about this album. This is nothing important, just something I'm curious about, heh. |

VS is a good album. The first 3 songs are probably the best known: Go, Animal, and Daughter. Dissident and Elderly Woman Behind the Counter are both good songs too. I haven't listened to it in awhile, so there are probably others, but those are the ones that I remember.

I guess this is an appropriate spot to ask this.
I'm currently listening to Ten by Pearl Jam. It's the only album I've heard of theirs. I'm not even sure if I can remember hearing a song of theirs not on Ten (probably have though). What are some other great songs or albums by Pearl Jam? Edited by Stooge - 07 Jul 2010 at 2:58pm |

Maybe I should give another spin for the record?

I don't have the album but they literly were cooking live, John Paul Jones was amazing to se live, almost touching finally he gets the spotlight he deservs, Dave Grohl was like a living avalanche on the drums he did not miss one puinch and every litle fill was godsend.
Josh Homme sang realy greate I like hes voice, calm and warm and powerfull. hes guitarplaying is also powerfull.

Here's a good discussion I think, what do you guys think about Them Crooked Vultures? I mean, I like the record, but it didn't let that 'I want more' taste. In the end I tried to listen a second time, but didn't get thru the entire album, and I really like Dave Grohl's stuff!

I saw Alice in Chains at the Roskilde festival last weak and they were great, love their long drooning stoner sound. realy great band.
and saw Them Crooked Vultures whom have post-grunge sound with Dave Grohl on the kits realy impressive.
