Why are Gen Xers so into completely revolting album covers?

I've only listened to this once and was bored. Should I listen to it again as someone who's always loved Ten and moderately enjoys Vitalogy?

I'm generally pretty non-controversial as far as what I do and don't like goes, but Pearl Jam are honestly no better than any of the gross post-grunge bands they influenced, Creed and Nickleback included

I've been saying this for a long time; Vs. is Pearl Jam's best album, better than Ten. Ten is a classic example of a front-loaded album, or top-heavy, or whatever term you want to use. The first half kicks ass, the second half is weak. Vs. may not have the better stand-out tracks, but it's consistently good in its entirety, which puts it ahead of Ten and everything else they ever did.

I think Ten is their best, but there are a bunch of really good songs on this one. A worthy follow up to Ten.

that may be the case as they aged, but they had their moments, especially early on. and even in their worst years, how you remind me, photograph, arms wide open, the six feet song, higher, etc. are way way way worse. i'm shocked you'd even say such a thing.

Probably my second favorite Pearl Jam album after Yield, though it does suffer from a lack of variety at some points. Rearviewmirror is their best song in my opinion.
And yeah while Pearl Jam certainly influenced the post grunge mainstays it's hard to argue that Pearl Jam is on the same level of quality. I understand not liking them because honestly they're not very creative as far as rock bands go but can you imagine Creed or Nickelback writing a song like WMA, Corduroy, or Do the Evolution?
