I was surprised to read recently that in a poll of American music fans, Pearl Jam was voted the best Rock band in American music history. Apparently more people had voted for Pearl Jam than any other band.
If this survey had said greatest alternative rock band I would have agreed with it. If it was polled from people under the age of 30, again I would have agreed. I was just a little skeptical that it was none of these options.
I do like the music of Pearl Jam, but I was convinced that there was another American band worthy of the title of greatest Rock band in American music history.
But I freely admit that I got this one wrong big time.
Apart from Journey and Bon Jovi who did not record as many hits as Pearl Jam I was stuck. I had thought of Billy Joel and Bob Dylan who had more hits, but these were solo artists and not Bands.
Perhaps there was no other band better than Pearl Jam!
I will just have to agree with all the other music fans out there, and say that Pearl Jam must be the greatest Rock band in American music history.
Eddie Vedder and his Seattle band were the pioneers of the early 90's alternative Rock movement. They have always maintained their fan base by staying true to their roots. It is mainly because of staying true to their roots that the fan base has actually grown over the years. This is probably why so many fans have voted them the greatest Rock band in American music history. - 42265
