WRONG AGAIN!
There is nothing "sloppy" about Pearl Jam, especially in comparison to Nirvana...
Nirvana had a very raw punk feel to them, fused with Sabbatherian grooves, along with one of the wildest most unpredictable frontmen since Iggy Pop...their lyrics were for the most part a psychotic self-portrait of Kurt...
Pearl Jam are a hell of a lot more of a traditional hard rock band (with more of a storyteller/folkish/socially-concious lyrical approach), sure they've tinkered with their sound and experimented with different things through the years, but what good band hasn't (Def Leppard maybe? because they suck...I will acknowledge that their are a few bands out there that have had great success and results by sticking to the formula: AC/DC and The Ramones most notably)...Pearl Jam have more to do with artists like Neil Young, Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles and U2 than they do with "slopppy grunge" music...
ps: grunge never existed...it was just a media buzzword...but i take it you've probably never seen "Hype!"...maybe you should rent it...you might learn something.
This could be TDC's most poignant post to date...well said my good man!!!
ps. Def Leopard blows!!!
