Are we all in agreement this band was tragically underrated in

For you new fags, I was actually at this Letterman Show. This is a later song of theirs, not their best but look how sick they are:

Of course they were. They're a mainstay every classic rock station now. I didn't know they were considered shitty back then.

They were huge, he's just mad because the critics didn't take them seriously and I agree, they were grunge pop.

>>74733065
They were written off as Pearl Jam impersonators because of the videos where that guy just imitated Eddie Vedder.

As the only person in this thread odl enough to have been around when they were popular, no they weren't underrated. They were rated just fine. Their output is 75% really mediocre.

Thoughts on Weiland's death?

I think that's his point. They were mediocre. You deserved the mocking

Honestly Pearl Jam themselves are pretty underrated these days.

Core [Atlantic, 1993]

Once you've learned to distinguish them from the Stoned Tempo Pirates, the Stolen Pesto Pinenuts, the Gray-Templed Prelates, Pearl Jam, Wishbone Ash, and Temple of the Dog, you may decide that they're a halfway decent hard rock act. Unfortunately, after they're done setting you up with their best power chords, you realize that the type song is "Sex Type Thing" and it's attached to a rape threat. The band claims this is intended ironically, sort of like "Naked Sunday"'s sarcastic handshake with authority. But ironic critique loses its teeth when the will to sex still powers your power chords. And if this is the excuse that critics, as well as MTV listeners, have reason to suspect, then the whole band should catch AIDS and die. B-

Purple [Atlantic, 1994] :(

No. 4 [Atlantic, 1999] *bomb*

No way. In the days of radio, just getting play was sacred. Let alone multiple chart topping singles. STP was one of the more popular ones. Now if you said Helmet or Stabbing Westward

Unsurprising but still a bit sad. I remember hearing about it and just going "maaan that suuuuucks... but yeah, I get it." Dude was talented but also obviously headed towards an early grave.

In the same magazine poll (Rolling Stone maybe?) in the early nineties, they were simultaneously voted best band of the year and worst band of the year.

Anyone else like this one?

this is bs. Weiland was a much better song writer, lyrically, than Cobain for example. Not Cornell or Vedder but they were tragically underrated

>>74735124
No, they weren't. They're actually a band that survives time. I hear far more STP than Pearl Jam for exmple, and rightfully so.
