Music question
-
While on the job we got into this discussion. It made for some good music talk.
-
eh….
Try The Adicts, or The Clash…. or GWAR…
-
How about Glenn Miller :-) or Benny Goodman? :-)
-
My opinion of the two bands is that Nirvana had a way for raw musical aptitude but was a little overrated, and Pearl Jam was more technical and better at an overall sound, even though Eddie Vedder kind of grates on me. So I voted Pearl Jam.

Yeah, I’d pop in London Calling before any Nirvana or Pearl Jam album, but he wanted a limited opinion. :lol:
-
I think Nirvana was more progressive and Pearl Jam appealed to a larger audience.
Essentially, Nirvana was one of the bands that drove the Alternative genre and Pearl Jam was one of the bands that benefitted the most from it. Not that Pearl Jam wasn’t progressive, it’s just that they were more “Pop”-ish and sometimes used that appeal to push through their social and political agendas. I don’t think that Nivana really cared about that much.

I think the only thing Pearl Jam did which I enjoyed was this.

That’s a good point I didn’t think of.
You could also consider where both bands came from, and what bands evolved from them.
Foo Fighters aren’t bad at all, but I’d prefer to hear Temple of the Dog (never listened to Mother Love Bone).

Moonlight Seranade is one beautiful song. Always sounds happy and hopeful yet with an underlying melancholy to me.

Foo Fighters are good. I think that Cobain was clearly the main influence for Nirvana and that Grohl was sort of a largely untapped resource that probably would have asserted itself if Cobain hadn’t died. But with Cobain gone, Grohl was able to show his full abilities. But I do think that Cobain at least somewhat influenced Grohl in positive ways.
Temple of the Dog to me was more Chris Cornell than anything. Yes, Pearl Jam members contributed to the sound and co-wrote some of the music but Cornell did more songwriting than the rest combined on that album.
Say Hello to Heaven, Wooden Jesus, and Times of Trouble (my favorite) are better songs in my opinion, but Hunger Strike was the one that got all of the airplay because it was more digestible to the general public. An interesting thing to note is that it was sort of Cornell’s attempt toward making a few of his “pop”-ish songs that appealed to the radio listening audience and it just so happened that Vedder was lead vocalist on that song. :-D
I have one of Mother Love Bones albums and I’m not entirely fond of it. I think Andrew Wood was trying too hard to be the Alternative’s version of David Bowie a la Lady Stardust. That guy was clearly a conflicted individual.

No love for Britney?
-
Nirvana? Britney?
These guys are better artists easily. No antics just raw music played well.

Slayer
-
Megadeth

bob dylan baby
i don’t know nirvana at all, and only know a little pearl jam, but eddie vedder did the sound track for “into the wild” which was excellant.
good movie, better book. alexander supertramp rocked. -
You like this?
-
nirvana, i have never heard ‘pearl jam’ play
evanescence are my current favourite, the music is some of the best that i have heard
-
yes she is great but the only good songs are the once where she is dominating the music with her vocals. ON the songs where the “band” got more influence these songs suck. It should just be her with the piano something like enya.
-
yeah, the lead singer has a great voice, very smooth and unimposing, it is easy to understand what the song’s are about,
even with the band playing, the singer rises to the band and equal’s or surpasses the band with a big voicei especially like the band’s music, i think that with a piano for all those song’s, a lot of those song’s would be lost or forgotten, or would not have the same effect, for me anyway

I have been enjoying this bloke Peter Heppner. He’s a kraut ripoff of Bryan Ferry early 1980’s style with electro and synths thrown in.
