hollowdrifter11 said:Hey, Pearl Jam isn't the kind of pure rock you're looking for; they're grunge, quintessential representatives of the Seattle grunge scene.
If you want a solid rock band, go listen to Gotthard.

Honestly, Pearl Jam is just some weird mix of Techno House with a little bit of Trance thrown in, but good grief!

hollowdrifter11, don't be ridiculous!

Go ahead and laugh... but seriously, give this a listen...
Just pick up the albums Keep the Faith and These Days and you'll see what I mean...

You could also check out Queen, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and maybe even Foo Fighters (I've been getting more into them lately) 👍

That's the ultimate must-have for anyone who actually appreciates real rock!
The music video is just as essential. 😎 🙏

All Men Are Heroes... In dreams! (Okay, they credited Sigmund Freud, but they basically signed his name to it themselves!)

The Lord didn't bring me this far just to let me down now! Especially when Richie's incredible solo kicks in. 😎 🙏

blah blah blah... there's just too many weirdos out there—everyone's lost their minds, honestly, everyone's just plain nuts
to each their own, I guess... and you can't really argue about taste because it's a total waste of breath (BENDER RULZ!!! BENDER IS GOD!!! BENDER IS GREAT!!! GIVE YOUR BEER AND MONEY TO BENDER 🙏 )

If you’re a guy who lives for rock music, then you seriously need to check out some Krautrock!

Can, Faust, Neu!, Ash Ra Tempel, Manuel Göttsching, Kraftwerk, Amon Düül...

The guy probably only heard 'Ten' and assumes everything Pearl Jam does sounds like that.

If you're actually into Guns N' Roses, though, just pick up Velvet Revolver...
Guns N' Roses plus a much better vocalist than Axl Rose...

Chris Barrett37 said:So, what did you end up deciding on? 😁

DECIDED 🙂

I’ve actually been listening to most of the stuff you guys suggested, though there are definitely a few tracks I haven't checked out yet. 🙄
I'm just waiting for my ADSL to get set up at the house, then I'll probably download the stuff I missed and go from there. 😁

Michelle Hall9 said:Man... 😍 they are my absolute favorites 😳

Wait, what? Most women I run into are huge fans of that band—is it actually the music, or is it just because the singer is hot? wtf 😕

Just wanted to jump in here—if you're hunting for something a bit more modern on the rock side of things... then you definitely need to check out A Perfect Circle and their debut, Mer de Noms, or maybe Thirteenth Step. Honestly, you can't go wrong with the first Audioslave record either—it’s just called Audioslave, if you can believe it... maybe give the Smashing Pumpkins a spin too 🙂

LIMP BIZKIT! Honestly, I can still hear the echoes of those riffs in my head whenever I see their name pop up. What a ride that was.

Found another band I haven't seen anyone talking about on this forum yet... I'm absolutely obsessed with them. Life of Agony, especially that River Runs Red album 👍

What’s even funnier? He actually claims Pearl Jam isn't rock, but just "grunge"... seriously? Does anyone else catch that massive mistake there!?
