eddie vedder doing U2 at a party

In fairness lads, there's no comparing the two..they're both at completely different stages of their careers! Pj are on their 8th(?) record so compare them up to Bono's 8th if you wanna be fair. I do think Bono's best work is far far behind him, like the previous poster said, the odd tune here and there aside, but in a lot of ways I'd respect bands like U2 more if they retired before they became ****e or just even repeating themselves. u2 ar bangin away at the same thing since POP with little succes apart from the singles. Pearl jam can do the Neil Young thing and rock it out or go acoustic or dark. They've way more than 1 string to their bow and I don't think U2 can say the same.

They'll never give up 'cos the stadium thing makes them feel young and it's lucrative. pearl jam on the other hand, i'd love and hope to see them become a great studio band. it's unlikely at this stage but they too will always be an amazing live band. better than U2 i'd say. it's gimmick free and pre rockin'.
