Pearl Jam or Nirvana?

This one is for my friend Greg. I’m putting it out there for the masses.

I personally don’t feel that it’s a zero-sum question. I think it’s fair to say that both bands were(are) enormously influential and both were(are) amazing. But I am curious to see what people have to say. So, have at it… Pearl Jam or Nirvana… and why, if you don’t mind expounding.

  3. micahtcollins answered: Pearl Jam is organic… theyve evolved, and still deliver. That’s subjectively very satisfying. Nirvana, was a splendid bang-n-fizzle.

  6. fromthefoyer answered: Nirvana. By a mile. Expression, integrity, emotion. And listen to “In Utero” and tell me how exciting things could have gotten…
  7. manalive answered: Tough one for me. Both bring back strong memories. I’ll say Nirvana.

  9. jonehrlich answered: Pearl Jam. I do not think that Nirvana would have lasted like Pearl Jam has. PJ is still selling out arenas and putting out great records.$
