Im not a huge fan of either, personally, i`d say rhcp

1) Pearl Jam were never a RHCP cover band, ever, they wrote a RHCP style song called `Dirty Frank` while on tour with them, moreso because theyre friends than to honor their music - Yet one person says this, and working in the sheep way society does, people follow what that no-nothing says without their own evidence

2) RHCPs impact was nothing compared to Pearl Jams impact - It took years and years for RHCP to really become noticed, Pearl Jam arguably have the biggest debut album of all time - `Ten` did to `Nevermind` what `Nevermind` did to Michael Jacksons `Thriller`, as it may seem overshadowed now due to Kurt Cobains death, Pearl Jams impact on music at the time was second to none, and they were the most important band on earth, something RHCP have never accomplished

3) Pearl Jams influence is much more wide spread than RHCPs cover ever reach - The band Incubus has a website called www.incubusbootlegs.com - where did they get this idea? from Pearl Jams REVOLUTIONARY idea of releasing a tour on cds which many bands including Phish aswell have followed - everyone from Staind to Rage Against the Machine have named Pearl Jam as an influence

4) To the IDIOTS who know nothing about Pearl Jam`s music, as a musician myself and someone knowledgable in music theory for over 15 years, Pearl Jam has almost more variety in their albums and songwriting than any other band in history, rivaled only by the Beatles and possibly Pink Floyd - They use various time signatures, various instruments, and their song writing ranges from punk rock to acoustic - When RHCP have that kind of variety, let me know, because I own 5 RHCP and they certainly do not - Try listening to Pearl Jams albums before you comment on them, one of the reasons Pearl Jam isnt nearly as popular today as they used to be is because many music critics would say they experimented TOO much

5) This isnt a match or an argument, its a slaughter - USA Today readers recently named Pearl Jam the best American band of all time - RHCP wasnt even in the top 20

6) It seems the people who said Pearl Jam were familiar with the music of RHCP, yet no one who said RHCP was better was familiar with Pearl Jams music, get a clue


This is why Pearl Jam won that argument, and why I had to make a whole new thread to bury the argument.

I like Pearl Jam but to compare ten to nevermind is utter bullshiit. If kurt was still alive Nirvana would be even better so stfu.

it is utter bullsh!t, because nevermind sucks and was just a pixies wannabe album whereas ten was something truly original and groundbreaking

and nirvana was going downhill fast, kid, just like the smashing pumpkins did

You are ignorant, go listen to rap

im ignorant? go listen to rap? how stupid are you? Admit it... the last song Nirvana recorded, "You know youre right"... that song is worse than any song off In Utero, and on In Utero Kurt had to recycle his own riffs (rape me/smells like teen spirit) - I know for a FACT Pearl Jam got better with time, I dont know if nirvana wouldve gotten better, but in the evidence they left me with.. they wouldnt of

O uh You know you`re right was not their last recorded song, so stfu it was recorded before in utero

hey hunter why dont u go suck pearl jams balls dude, ur obsesed with that grupy

and red hot chilli peppers are way better pearl jam is boring man, i saw a concert on video and i couldnt stand two songs before i fell asleep

u want time changes and experimentation pal check out dream theater or symphony X fukcing retard

You Know Youre Right wasnt recorded before In Utero you POSER, you FAKE wannabe nirvana fan, further proving how little you know about music. When the song came out, Guitar World had a huge article on the song that I read with interviews, You Know Youre Right was the last you phony

And RHCP are pretty boring, theyre WAY too happy and peppy - Dream Theater uses advance time signatures.. too bad they cant put them to use to actually write a good, emotionally moving song for once

listen to Another day, Surrounded, Misunderstood, solitary shell, listen to some of those songs from Dream theater and youll what these guys can do, even soft moving songs that you seem to like, fag

You`re a guy.. and you listen to Bon Jovi... you calling another guy a fag is just funny.

"im a cowboy on a steel horse"? are those the Bon Jovi lyrics im thinking of? did I get some lyrics wrong? wanna correct me?

You`re calling someone a fag, yet you listen to a pretty boy talk about riding a steel horse, lol.

You seem to know the lyrics, i think you like bon jovi to, your just to stuck in listening to bad music you dont want to accept it, well keep listening to your crappy bands its ur problem any ways

Peace out Kiddo

I seem to know the lyrics... because I know one line? I even ASKED you if I got the lyrics right, cus I wasnt sure I did...you`re such an idiot, you have no logic. Go listen to your queer pretty boy riding steel horse bullsh!t, grow some goddamn balls.... dude... YOU`RE A GUY, AND YOU LISTEN TO BON JOVI.... grow some BALLS

Hunter stop sucking on balls

hunter i admit you know you`re right came after. But a true fan doesnt go searching for when the song came out so they can pretend they know everything about music. They just listen to the music if its good. U obviously don`t have this skill, ball sucker
