    Y'alls point is well taken. I'm trying to be 2022-neutral. Imagine this is happening in 1980, 2000, 2020, and 2040. Whenever.

    This does a fair mental exercise, and I like it. Reminds of me John Rawls' philosophy on the veil of ignorance, where you have to imagine a soc....you know what I'm too filled with food and drink to e...il like your post.

    Takeaways:

    These dudes have good takes.

    Binaural is probably the next album I'd try to immerse myself in.

    These dudes put Yield and Binaural way higher than I'd expect (two of them put Yield as their #1 PJ album).

    Just looked at pricing for Pearl Jam tickets in September, one about $1,000 a seat through TicketMaster…. Ridiculous, that’s not even on the floor, that’s a ways back. No chance.

    I've recently been listening to "Just Breathe" quite a bit, that's a damn good piece of music.

    I'm back on PJ as a contender.

    Rn I have PJ, Foo, and RHCP as the greatest. That's a disservice to Journey, Van Halen, perhaps Metallica, and hell even CCR. Green Day too. Green Day, too.

    I could get there with newer acts like Maroon 5 but I'm of my time.

    This occurred to me as I realized I think there are many more Pearl Jam "beautiful songs" than just about any other similar contender.

    Off He Goes
    Yellow Ledbetter
    Daughter
    Elderly Woman
    Better Man
    Black
    Given To Fly
    Oceans

    Pearl Jam has a sort of angsty vibe that gets in the way of sheer beauty, but these songs are more beautiful than nearly all the similar bands.

    Uh, no it didnt.

    The video that MTV aired clearly showed Jeremy putting the gun to his head.

    *Edit*- Furthermore the song is sung from a POV (Vedder) of someone who witnessed the suicide that day. Even more is the actual story from which the song comes from,

    https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/je...TA6ZV5dWaOMCm8
    I remember that story being a thing back in the day, turned out it wasn’t true. That happened in Texas, Vedder absolutely was not there as he went to high school in San Diego nearly a full decade earlier. He read the story in a news article and based a song on it and things he witnessed in his own childhood.
