Pearl Jam is the underground Nirvana, and far better if you ask for my opinion. The grunge scene in general was a pretty good fad which resulted in well-aging music and a highlight for the otherwise dismal 90's as a music decade.
Saw Pearl Jam live in London at the O2 a few years ago and it was a great experience. Also they come across as very nice blokes!
Umm, no. Nirvana were the underground band.
I agree. The Pearl Jam guys mostly came from a hard rock/glam rock background, Nirvana was punk.
