Who is pearl's jam?
I heard the name Eddie Vedder a lot, but never really paid attention to who he sang for. I think during that time I was primarily country as I did not like the sound..
From a technical standpoint, to compare the country music of the 90's to the atl rock of the 90's is almost laughable. I like country music in general (mainly the old shit) but the 90s produced a lot of shit in that genre. It was like what the 80's new wave stuff was to the rock/pop genre.
WE!!! is correct about Ten though. PJ wasn't as appreciated then as I think they are now in retrospect and I think they sometimes got overshadowed AT THE TIME by Nirvana and the Cobain saga. But they are as solid of a rock band as you are going to find. And they werent the only ones.
PJ
STP
Soundgarden
Alice in Chains
Chizad, Wes and maybe WE!! can appreciate the importance that Temple of the Dog (little known to most) had on the entire genre becoming as big as it did.
STP's "Core" was a pretty damn sick album too. "Purple" wasn't bad either.
