Great song! Even if you have no idea what he is saying!

I am in a Pearl Jam mood tonight! Alive, Daughter, Betterman are next on my list to listen to!

[RevolutionaryActs]

Agreed.

But I grew up in Washington in the early 90's, I speak fluent Grunge. :D

[Shell Beau]

2. So a big Nirvana fan?

[RevolutionaryActs]

6. I enjoy Nirvana, yes.

And Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains, Mudhoney. All good stuffs. :D

[Shell Beau]

7. Not familiar with Mudhoney!

[RevolutionaryActs]

9. Mudhoney is not really mainstream.

16. Really? that is so cool!

:bounce:

[RetroLounge]

17. Yeah, and saw Nirvana twice

Once with 30 peopoe for $3 on a sunday night (before Nevermind came out) and once with 1200 people after.

Stage dove there too... :D

19. I hate you.

And by "hate" I mean "incredibly jealous"

[RetroLounge]

20. Did I mention I saw early Soundgarden too?

They freaking rocked!

RL

[RevolutionaryActs]

21. Dude.

So jealous. x(

[RetroLounge]

22. And since we are on a Pacific NorthWest kick

Heart wasn't too bad either back in 1981 or so when I saw them.

:hi:

1. Excellent song indeed!

Pretty much the whole album rocks!

[Shell Beau]

3. Yeah it does!

[underpants]

4. Love that song

[Shell Beau]

5. It is hard to understand the words, but it is great.

I always have to google the lyrics because I always forget what he is saying. I kinda mumble my way through the song!

[Danger Mouse]

8. I'm partial to 'Corduroy' 'Immortality' and 'Black' myself...

The whole Vitalogy album was awesome. Their best album overall, IMHO.

[Shell Beau]

10. There aren't many of there songs I don't like!

[Danger Mouse]

11. Hmm...I think some of their stuff is a little generic.

That's why I think Vitalogy is their strongest album...every song there is different, interesting, and sometimes very moving.

[Shell Beau]

13. Some of it is, but I still like most of their stuff.

Betterman was written when Eddie VEdder was still a young teen! I think it was written about his abusive dad/step-dad towards his mom. I just imagine he being a young boy wondering why in the hell his mom puts up with that shit.

[Danger Mouse]

14. Betterman is also a beautiful song.

Immortality is also amazing. Just the whole album...amazing. Better than anything Nirvana ever did.

[RevolutionaryActs]

18. Better Man is one my absolute favorites.

So is Nothingman.

12. Great song, but sometimes I feel like the ending is a little drawn out

I happened to hear "Black" on the radio this evening. Another fine song.
