you need to be posting in the pop-punk forum instead. i dont care how general the thread title is, this is still the alt/indie forum. think about it.

[cometuesday]

Yeah even I was like wtf and I get **** in this forum all the time.

And if me and YDload agree something is wrong.

3 pages and no Eddie Vedder? He's amazing even if you don't like PJ much.

[YDload]

he's not amazing, he's okay.

[YourBiggestFan]

Sue Tompkins
Ted Leo
Stephen Malkmus

They're my favorites.

[Hedgedive]

he's not amazing, he's okay.

if mumbling is okay then yes.

[Graffito]

3 pages and no Eddie Vedder? He's amazing even if you don't like PJ much.

Come to think of it I'm surprised no-one has mentioned him either. A lot of people really don't dig his sound. The imitators probably ruined it for them.

[cometuesday]

Eddie Vedder ruins Pearl Jam for me, to be honest.
