I love The Hip. No band comes close to competing as my #1 band. I just like Pearl Jam. They are probably my #3 favorite. But, in a hypothetical situation of only being able to see one or the other, I'm picking PJ 8 out of 10 times.
3 hour sets, seeing one of the greatest rock guitarists alive do his thing, the variety in their songs, the amazing crowd energy, Eddie (the non-smoker again I think) and his fantastic voice,and just this amazing vibe I get at all their shows.
Of course folks are entitled to their opinions, but many many people bash Pearl Jam and their only exposure to them is Ten. PJ has come a LONG way from there, and trust me their live shows are practically a religious experience.
Of course, The Hip ain't too shabby live most times either!
