What am I on? Have I committed a sin in questioning the mighty Pearl Jam? Oh, well Fie upon me...Fie Fie upon me.

What I am saying is if we are all being objective here, Vedder's voice is lightyears worse than Jon's. It has never been anything but a rasp and a grunt. It suited a type of music, but has minimal melodic qualities. Now I am not saying I don't really like some of the band's music, but I am saying, let's be objective here--this board and journalists who hail Pearl Jam as a progressive powerful voice in music (which I could dispute for ages) and who then turn to Bon Jovi and call it any derogatory name they can think of. It is ridiculous. Their 'progressive' 'poitical' statements are just as cliché as any of Jon's lyrics. They just focus on a different subject.

Let's be objective. That's all.
