You kids stay off my lawn!
I would have shared that thought with you, but you had to see the arrogance that the Who, and especially Daltrey, showed here following the notorious "festival seating" catastrophe here in Cincinnati.Any Who album! Roger Daltrey rocks,a very cool person! I had the once in a lifetime opportunity to meet him, I was completely shocked! I got my picture taken with him as well!

You're saying none of the albums I listed were better than Ten?
What flavor of Kool-ade are you on this week?

I named one that was released the same year in the same genre that whips Ten, ten ways till Sunday.
That doesn't include 20 or so worthy choices listed by others.
PJ was a decent band...but they were considered to be second raters who just rode the coattails of their Seattle contemporaries.
Green River (and it's children Mudhoney & Mother Love Bone), Screaming Trees, Soundgarden & Alice in Chains are all more worthy.

HTTR Forever.
Notice it took a "Greatest Hits" CD from one of the most successful bands in history to top it.

Wow, I dont think I have ever read a more ridiculous and unfounded post in my life.
Pearl Jam was THE quintessential grunge band in seattle. The city of seattle held them as the standard in how grunge was supposed to be. there were strong followings for thier heavier counterparts, such as Soundgarden and AIC. Most of seattle hated Nirvana, of course until Kurt killed himself. Mother Love Bone IS Pearl Jam, basically. Mudhoney and Screaming Trees were never close to Pearl Jam musically, or in popularity.
You should probably research these things a little more next time before you spout off like a child.
BTW, Pearl Jam has sold more records than all the bands you just named, combined.

How's about you accept someone else's opinion instead of firing off outlandish comments such as "god, some of you people are retarded!"
In retrospect, it makes you look like the moron

LOL Anyways...
Jeff Ament & Stone Gossard are generally disliked among the Seattle musical community as their primary focus was always more on finding the big payday rather than the music.
(For those who don't know Jeff & Stone are Mother Love Bone alums who later went on to found Pearl Jam which is why Craig is making claim that MLB and PJ are essentially the same)
Andy Wood was the driving force behind Mother Love Bone and he was the difference between that band and it's prodigy. When he died Jeff & Stone were under pressure from Micheal Gladstone to put together a new project who's focus was commercial viability. Which is part of why they hit it off so well with Eddie Vedder.
Mother Love Bone was Andy, just like Pearl Jam is Eddie. Like it or not Jeff & Stone have always been followers rather than innovators. So to say that bands are essentially the same is disengeneous...at best.
Pearl Jam was never huge in Seattle before Ten took off nationally in popularity...hell they'd only played a few live shows before the album even came out.
Soundgarden was the band locally. Period.
PS - The Backstreet Boys have sold more albums than Pearl Jam

Followed by AIC in a close second.
Facelift was a big hit locally. In fact, the industrial grunge sound of AIC and Soundgarden are what Seattle is more known for.
Also, don't forget that STP and their Core album were huge from Seattle as well.

Except that STP is from San Diego.
They got their first break specifically because of the success of Pearl Jam & Nirvana and producers were scrambling for the next big thing...
FWIW The DeLeo brothers are both great guys. I used to go see STP a lot when they were still Mighty Joe Young. Dean & Rob are still pretty much the same now as they were then.
Exactly.
Nirvana & Pearl Jam were attractive from a marketing standpoint specifically because they weren't as hard as the popular Seattle bands.

Oh crapper, I meant to say "West Coast" because I already knew that :!
Yes Core came out a year or two later if I remember correctly...but it hit big along with "Purple"
All in all, '89-'94 were great years for West coast rock

No biggie, STP will always be lumped into the same category as the Seattle bands...as well Dinosaur Jr. & Sonic Youth for that matter.
It was released at the end of 92...started getting major airplay in the spring/early summer of 93.
For whatever reason that area had been relatively untapped by the labels...which is a big part of why Seattle managed to head down a slightly different musical evolution.
FWIW Mudhoney is probably the one that all those bands should be thanking. Since they were the ones that brought attention to the town via an article in the UK magazine "Melody Maker".
