Nothing’s more exciting than a Pearl Jam show…

AWESOME! It’s about time Pearl Jam got the recongnition they so deserve. They are the only band that is able to take me on an emotional rollercoaster ride through my soul just from hearing Ed’s emotional stories. this is one band that everyone must see live. The fan participation is incredible during live shows.

Pearl Jam deserves this. They put on the best lives shows ever.

I think it says a lot about the state of American rock that a 15 year old band got “best band” and no one has suggested a song that’s newer than 10 years old to rep them.

Y’all need to get with the now, man. Even everyone here knows that Pearl Jam hasn’t done anything good in a decade.

IDIOTIC WORDS FROM AN OBVIOUS IDIOT!!!

This is great, they deserve it =D

15 outstanding PJ songs from the last three albums:

Sleight of Hand. or, Alone… or..Get Right…

By the way,..I think RIOT ACT is their best album.. genius album,,,
Just listen to it attentively..you will love it…

Boy, I am so happy to see this! They so deserve it. Will this be out on hardcopy magazine coz I would like to purchase a copy….

Pearl Jam Rules!
Is the most important band of the last 15 years, and one of the best band ever had.
Excellent lead singer, Vedder vocal is great! The last rock star!

jonny814

save u is one of my favourites.

walking the cow,masters of war, throw your arms around me - these are NOT pearl jam songs, duh.

Fatal

Following Brian’s lead -
New: “Inside Job”
Old(er): “Given to Fly”

Oh, and Ben Harper released a fantastic album this year…

What did My Morning Jacket do this year? It seems, judging by this poll, they have probably at least doubled their fanbase this year, opening for Pearl Jam and their own headlining tour. They had a huge show at Bonnaroo and were at every other major festival. They also released probably the best live album of the decade, as well as the best Concert DVD of the decade. I’d say it was a big year. Jason, I agree with TV on the Radio. They would come in #2 in my book. I thought the entire top five were good picks, but RHCP would be at the bottom of those, because Stadium Arcadium just wasn’t that great.

down with the powers that be… put your fist in the air and keep on keepin on…

Last Exit
Red Mosquito
Satans Bed
Lukin
Severed Hand

Gotta go with “Immortality” — the version from Live at Benaroya is absolutely stunning!

“Go”…best Pearl Jam song of all time.

top 10:
-Go
-Animal
-Off He Goes
-Hail Hail
-Faithful
-Evenflow
-Brai n of J
-Corduroy
-In My Tree
-Glorified G

I don’t really care for Pearl Jam, although I respect them. “Stadium Arcadium” is unbearably boring. My Morning Jacket is great, but what did they do this year? The Strokes made an unbelievably disappointing and commercially fledgling release this year. Tool’s only pretty good.

That leads me to TV On the Radio, who are the REAL best band of the year. I love “Desperate Youth, Bloodthirsty Babes”, but “Cookie Mountain” improves on it in every way. It’s a brilliant, complex album, and I really admired RS for rating it so high when it was released. “Wolf Like Me” is the most thrilling song of the year, too.

Other artists to consider:

i almost forgot about ‘throw your arms around me’, real good. Fatal as well. Given to Fly remains the best, and most beautiful.

Corduroy and In Hiding are the two best, although Inside Job is now up there.

No matter how cold the winter, there’s the spring time ahead

Can’t believe st. robinson is comparing pearl jam with nickelback. If you think they are the same type of band you have no clue about music. (It is like comparing Radiohead to coldplay but worse.)

. . . and state of love and trust, life changing.

“Clapton is god”, you are probably going to have to kill me. My Morning Jacket, along with TV on the Radio, is one of the most innovative bands out there right now. And no other band has as much passion for live performance as they do right now. It is your comment that is idiotic, not the My Morning Jacket fans.

I’ll just recommend a couple (even though I love the entire discography).
New Jam: Parachutes
Classic Jam: State of Love and Trust

When people say cliche things about songs changing your life . . . I smile because “Black” absolutley changed mine.

I think they have atleast 100 songs that are a true masterpiece. I’ll choose Do The Evolution since I just heard it on the radio!

Rock on My Morning Jacket. Why must people bad mouth bands all the time? Just cause ‘your band’ didnt win doesnt mean the one ahead of them is shit. Its a fucking poll. Its good to see someone not so widley known such as My Morning Jacket to appear below national headlining acts like PJ and RHCP. MMJ are the most versatile and energetic and talented acts out there right now. I enjoy all of the bands that made it, and whoever thinks the last 3 Chili albums sound the same is crazy. With the exception of Stadium Arcadium, not my favorite, but By the Way and Californication are musical masterpieces.

Off the top of my head, my fave 25 songs from the greatest band — really, defining what a band means in every way — ever to record and perform (note that four songs come from the new record, meaning that they’re still breaking ground):

Black
Corduroy
W MA
Given to Fly
In My Tree
World Wide Suicide
Do the Evolution
Whipping
Come Back
Animal
Hail, Hail
Present Tense
Love Boat Captain
Jeremy
In Hiding
Insignificance
Small Town
Indifference
Alive
Sev ered Hand
Off He Goes
Parachutes
Sad
You
On ce

People that say PJ hasn’t been relevant in the last 10 years should really borrow their last 4 or 5 albums and sit down, listen to the music and lyrics, then form an opinion.

whatever needs to be done to make you idiots get over My Morning Jacket I am willing and able to do.

Yay PJ!!!
I can’t even begin to pick favorite songs.
Try to stay away from Ten tho, not that I don’t love it, but I think if people heard songs from something else they would fall in love with PJ too!
If I have to pick a favorite I guess it’s I Got Shit.
I’m sure I’ll be back and post more, LOL!!
Ok also have to add Red Mosquito, Present Tense, Sometimes, and Lukin, can you guess what I have been listening too???

ill pick one song from each album

Alive- (what other song not of the 70’s has a gnarly long awsome solo and is played on the radio awdatime)

and One Hot Minute is Underrated
There old stuff isnt all that good to be quite honest, some genuine good tunes but not until Fruciante and Smith came

So, more people in America like My Morning Jacket than Tool huh? That’s a fucking disgusting reality.

Hey everyone…wow a great turnout for voting, I’m impressed with the masses…
So how about “Walking the Cow” as most awesomest.
Anyone remember that one?

See ya’ll soon…:)

Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town

Wow!!!! I’m so proud of PJ - Been my favorite band for many, many years and it seems I’m not alone at all; Great to see this widespread respect for one of the only bands left who’s music is life altering. Seeing Pearl Jam is a religious, uplifting experience that everyone see at least once in their life (sort of like traveling to Mecca if you’re a Muslim!!)
Anyhow, favorites:
Why Go, Alive, Black, Leash, Indifference, Animal, Daughter, Spin the Black Circle, Immortality, Whipping, Yellow Ledbetter, In My Tree, Off He Goes, Red Mosquito, IN HIDING, Given to Fly, Do the Evolution, Brain of J, Soon Forget, Grievance, Leavin’ Here, You Are, I Am Mine, All or None, Life Wasted, Marker in the Sand, and COME BACK (a truly incredible song)

Should’ve been the Chili Peppers

Pearl Jam to me isn’t as good as they used to be and the Chili Peppers are getting better and better

++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++

What? Pearl Jam keeps getting better and better. The RHCP have put out 3 albums in a row that sound EXACTLY alike (4 if you count SA as 2 albums).
Pearl Jam wins in songwriting, creativity, live concerts, and just about everything else. The only thing the Chilis lead in are Top 40 Hits and songs about California. I get it…you’re from California, anything else to say?

Should’ve been the Chili Peppers

Pearl Jam to me isn’t as good as they used to be and the Chili Peppers are getting better and better

They were ONCE the biggest band ALIVE.But then they kind of went IN HIDING. But their true fans stayed FAITHFULL to the band as they knew they were still LIGHT YEARS ahead and could RIVAL anything else that was on the radio.

Porch, Release, Not for you, Betterman, Nothingman, Fatal, No way, Light years, Inside job, Love boat captain, Dead man, Sad, Marker in the sand, Evenflow, ….

ok, I can’t do this anymore.
All their songs belong to this list.
Whatever your list will be, I’ll be glad listening to it.
Loooooove Pearl Jaaaaaam.
Yes, Best band of 2006 and Best band of all time.

Anything off the new album, since Pearl Jam is the best band of 2006 and their self titled album is the best album of 2006.

Amazing feat for a band that has been around for over 15 years !!!

They are as relevant to American Rock as ever. And they haven’t had to sell themselves out or compromise their integrity one bit.

Pearl Jam’s entire catalog is incredible and they are not only one of the greatest American Rock Bands ever…But one of the Greatest Rock and Roll bands perriod.

Viva La Pearl Jam

“Arms Wide Open”??
Haha. What a jackass.

Yellow Ledbetter is one of the only songs that I stop whatever I’m doing, to listen to. It moves me in a way that I can’t describe. Love it.

Four best in order:

Top Three:

3.) Oceans

…I know they are not as rockin’ as most of their other stuff, but I feel that is why this band is legendary.

It’s just so tough to pick and this list would change every week BUT Black and Alive HAVE to be on there, being the classics that they are. Now for my own personal taste:

Tremor Christ is amazing too.

and “immortality” is great too.

Does anyone like Tremor Christ? Am I the only one?

I got every record of the Pearl Jam catalogue, except for most of their bootlegs. But I like Pearl Jam most when they do their slower stuff, I guess my top 3 would be:

3.Hard To Imagine
2.Off He Goes
1.Nothingman

but also anything on the second disc of Lost Dogs and anything from Live At Benaroya Hall!

Here are a couple obscure ones mixed in with some classics:

Angel

Better Man

I Got Id, In My Tree, Immortality, Present Tense, Do the Evolution, Of the Girl, Parachutes, Unemployable, Marker in the Sand, Come Back, Parting Ways

Seriously, I like Pearl Jam….but people really need to get over them. They’re really not THAT good.

No Hold Steady?
No Drive-by Truckers?
Better way of putting it-no f*cking new bands? You guys sound like a bunch of new school baby-boomers, instead of the 60s/70s being the only time music was good, now its the 90s. I love PJ and RHCP but come on, there are plenty of new bands that put out bettter albums this year. I bet you all love Nickelback too.

I really like Pearl Jam but mainly because of their older material.
I can’t really listen to their newest album, though I tried a couple of times.
Rolling Stone magazine really praised it and said it was their best album ever, and that they’re more mature, etc., but it was just a great disappointment for me.
I think Vs. and Ten were their best albums and I like a couple of other songs from other albums but those were the two albums I could just listen to all the way through.

-Sad
-Do the Evolution
-Black

Pearl Jam is the best hands down. And no band that comes up with goofy-ass titles like “Stadium Arcadium” should win anything, ever.

I love the results. PEARL JAM ROCKS!!!! RHCP and The Strokes also are champs!!! I respect MMJ and Tool as well.

Pearl Jam lives on with their (well deserved) legacy, but I don’t believe they should be crowned “band of the year”. This only shows the majority of those who read and participate in Rolling Stone are Pearl Jam fans, which isn’t very well deserved. I enjoyed the new album. It was a good step backwards to their roots, which is something very few bands can capture with success. There is much more to take into consideration though. Many other brilliant albums were released in 2006 (some of which received unnecessarily poor reviews on this here magazine.).
Damn it Rolling Stone, back in the day you were the poster child of a changing generation and a well respected music magazine. Now about a third of the reviews you put out are worth shit. I can only theorize the pure reason of the decline in record sales. So much of the music that is released right now is simple product placement and cleavage. What we, the consumers, are receiving is a collection of rappers rapping about themselves and rockers complaining about their lives with some tits and ass to keep our eyes dancing and our ears closed. There is little heart and pure passion left in…what I guess you could call pop culture. iTunes has helped as well. Now that we have the means to download a single song for a dollar, there is no reason to buy a full album of filler for one or two tracks. If mainstream bands were making great complete albums, then this wouldn’t be a problem.
All I’m saying is Pearl Jam had a good album, but not a spectacular year. I find it unfortunate that RS has the voice and ability to skyrocket careers of many artists that deserve their songs to be played and remembered decades from now, but instead we get “the guy who won American Idol this season” on the front cover. (you see what I mean, I can’t even remember their names now) I take everything I read here with a grain of salt, because I know there is more to be realized outside of the pages of RS. I wish you critics would get your shit together, and criticize yourself and what you are doing to this art we all love.

THANK GOD Nickelback didn’t win…now that is HORRIBLE music!

Pearl Jam has a HUGE fanbase and I’m glad to be a part of it! Glad they also won too. FINALLY! Most underrated band around. People tend to forget that they put other albums out AFTER Vitalogy. This band makes music on THEIR own terms and not anyone elses. That is why they have such a huge fanbase.

Their self-titled took me a while to get into it, and absolutely LOVE it! I also love RHCP “Stadium Aracadium” as well.

But since we are discussing Pearl Jam songs…I have several:

From avacado:

Severed Hand

From ever:

Yellow Ledbetter

“Awesomest” song off the self-titled album: “Severed Hand”

“Awesomest” song spanning their entire career: “Porch”

And to the people saying that Pearl Jam and Red Hot Chili Peppers haven’t been relevent for 10 years…how exactly would you define “relevent?” If relevance is equal to Top 40 success, your idea of relevence is a sad and misguided one. They have been (and still are) making great music for the past 15 and 20+ years, respectively.

Also, although I am a big Red Hot Chili Peppers fan, “Stadium Arcadium” doesn’t quite equal “Pearl Jam.” Both have very good musicianship and melodies, but Anthony Kiedis’s lyrics pale in comparison to Vedder’s (and the other contributing band members on the album). With better lyrics and a little editing, Stadium Arcadium would be a near-masterpiece, but as it is, not quite.

PEarlJam = the most vital yet grossly underated band of our time

That’s all Ive got to say…

RHCP is definitely my choice for band of the year…can’t wait until their 9 remaining tracks hit the net on the 19th. These guys truly deserve some recoginition!!! Stadium Arcadim is the best release since American Idiot.

sorry indonesia been a big fan of RHCP from the get go. But there new album is not good. Although it is better then 90% of the garbage out there (nickelback, and the rest of the crap rock i keep hearing on the radio).

The fact that PJ got “Band of the Year” is just a testament to how much crap is out there right now, not to mention just how great this band really is.

I vote for “Given To Fly.” Such an amazing, beautiful song.

oh and this is “not for you”

i will say this shows that pearl jam and rhcp are great bands that have longevity. it also shows how the music industry has tried to replicate these sounds but cant replicate the quality and longevity. im still waiting for a “movement” that is as relevant and can last more than 15 min.

after that we’re talking a shed load of amazing songs!that im not gonna bother listing!

I love both PJ and the Chili Peppers. But Pearl Jam’s self-titled album doesn’t even come close to competing with Stadium Arcadium. We weren’t supposed to vote on a band’s lifetime work, were supposed to vote on which band had the best album in 2006.

Pearl Jam and Tool were the best rock shows of 06 for entirely different reasons.

Bestest song from “Pearl Jam”- Marker in the Sand.

Present Tense, Porch, Love Boat Captain,

Pearl Jam and Red Hot Chili Peppers? What is it 1993 again? This feels just like high school.

Alive or Marker in the Sand

I can really dig “who you are” off of no code… i think.

Education

It’s spelled “tres”.

Any list that doesn’t count The Black Crowes as the best band every year for 1990-2001 and 2005-2006 is a bunch of BS I tell ya!

I think it says a lot about the state of American rock that a 15 year old band got “best band” and no one has suggested a song that’s newer than 10 years old to rep them.

Y’all need to get with the now, man. Even everyone here knows that Pearl Jam hasn’t done anything good in a decade.

Severed Hand from the last album.

Greivance

“Go” (Vs.)

This is a killer rawk song!

“Black” has to be on there. It’s their best. But it has to be a live version!! “Black” from the 7/11/03 Boston live show recording ought to do just fine.

GOTTA GO WITH BREATH

Gawd! I can’t believe Winger lost!!1

Gotta go with “Immortality” — the version from Live at Benaroya is absolutely stunning!

In my tree

The Hold Steady got robbed!

PJ’s Indifference is a nice little tune.

What? No Cowsills?!?!?
