Pearl Jam..erm yes Pearl Jam!! For many people this entry might be seen as treacherous given Kurt Cobain’s view on the band. But Cmon!! If you like Nirvana chance are there’s plenty of Pearl Jam that will do the trick. Nearly all the kids I grew up with who liked Nirvana also liked Pearl Jam. In my eyes Kurt was doing what all bands tend to do and slag off their biggest rival. The debut album ‘Ten’ sold close to that of ‘Nevermind’. Sure enough there’s more classic rock to Pearl Jam’s music than Nirvana but that doesn’t automatically make them cheese merchants. There’s a lot to love about Pearl Jam, some great guitars, great vocals with some great lyrics plus many a great song. Kurt did later admit that he thought Eddie Vedder was genuine about the things he sang. ‘Vs’ is my go to Pearl Jam album. Apparently the title refers to some kind of rock rivalry…
