Pearl Jam
If Nirvana were the Beatles of grunge, then Pearl Jam were the Rolling Stones.

The band that was originally named Mookie Blaylock, would be the largest beneficiary of the grunge movement, and of the genre easily the most principled.  Perhaps the embodiment of American music for decades, Pearl Jam would become a huge band, but arguably could have been more successful had they “played by the rules”.

This was the band who did not make any videos for their second album (Vs.) and hardly any following their debut album, Ten.  

This was the band that boycotted Ticketmaster over gouging customers and played smaller venues because of it, despite the huge revenue they lost by doing that.

This was the band that would become famous, yet seem to shun it at every corner.

When you think about those above statements, isn’t that how many people define “Rock and Roll”?

At the end of the day, this is an excellent band with a rich and diverse catalogue of music, who in their early years defined an era and were the voice of a generation.

This should be a no-brainer entry for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and the real question is not when, but how soon they enter?

Should Pearl Jam be in the Hall of Fame?
