Grudge Match I: Pearl Jam vs. Nirvana

Listmeister · 2015-01-16T13:50:26-05:00

Two albums, of similar origin, but very different in sound. These two bands came from the Seattle area in the early 90's. Nirvana had released an album but this was the first album with pro studio treatment. It was Peal Jam's debut, but some of its members had recorded before with Mother Love Bone. The two albums were released within a month of each other. You can look up which one was released first if you want to. Ten by Pearl Jam vs. Nevermind by Nirvana The rules of the Grudge Match are: You are being asked which album you listen to the most. Not which one you think is best, or has the most artistic merit, or was the biggest breakthrough. You are voting with your ears on this one.

2010's Kind of early to say ... Harry McVeigh or Simon Board I guess?

Just for conversations sake, technically James Blake has a baritone voice. I just don't think he's typically associated with it.

I guess that's sort of like Moby, then, he can be baritone, you just don't know him for it. That said ... I'd probably still take McVeigh or Board over him ... 😨

That's fair enough, I was just pointing it out because of the 10's category, not because of your choices.

I'll be honest, I have no clue who either of your choices are. 🤣 But I'll look them up.

One of them probably won't even pop up, warning ahead of time. Albums for ya:

Oh, and since I never answered the question, Nirvana. Just entirely, I didn't really have a childhood love for Pearl Jam or anything like that, just always thought they were eh but not great. Liked Vedder's solo stuff a lot, especially the Into The Wild soundtrack (despite the fact I'm not a fan of the movie), just never all too into Pearl Jam, and don't LOVE Vedder's stuff either. Nirvana just clicks more for me.

I can't believe there's an argument about best baritones and Scott Walker hasn't even been mentioned, but Chad Kroeger and the guy from White Lies have been.

I've heard 1/2 of 1 song off Soused and had no idea the guy's been around so long. Where should I start in his discog, Mecca?

Seems liked everyone has a different Scott Walker preference. I've start early in his career with

Scott 2 by Scott Walker

then skip ahead to The Drift to get a glimpse of the massive creative leap of his career

WHAT.

No no no no.

Scott 4 comes after, then Climate of Hunter, then Tilt. You can't skip those.

Even though his recent output has been spawned out to be about an album a decade, he's been around longer than the Rolling Stones.

He's probably the only relevant artist nowadays that was active in the 50's too.

Scott Walker's Tilt album is rather good 😄

Oh shit you're right, I hadn't even noticed. Yeah, Walker is the best. I also agree that 2 is the best, but Hayden's order makes way more sense.
