Well, you can always laugh about it and then just enjoy the song... That, or you'll end up uncounciously hating Pearl Jam just because of one song (it's happened to me with other bands, I know how it works).

PJ doesn't get any airplay on standard radios over here... Or I think so, since I don't listen to standard radios

Oh don't get me wrong I love Pearl Jam and I'm a fan of some of the songs on Lightning Bolt already (as well as the majority of their back catalogue), I just don't like Sirens at all and the fact that it's overplayed makes it that much worse.

Huh, my fault. Your "like coming onto U2start not knowing much about U2" comment mislead me into thinking you were a PJ newbie

Sorry. Then you're perfectly allowed to hate Sirens. I hate Get On Your Boots and nobody bashes me

Funnily enough after I posted that line I felt iffy about it and how it could be misinterpreted. What I meant was, I know just as much about Pearl Jam as someone who likes U2 coming here would know. Meaning, I've heard their "greatest hits" numerous times, like them, don't really own any of their albums apart from Ten and VS, and don't really know much about the band other than what they say on the PJ20 movie.

Let's be real here, an average U2 fan coming here compared to what we superfans know about U2 is a pretty similar comparison, maybe even more greatly differentiated.

Oh, yeah, of course. I get you now. The vast knowledge about PJ that EDDMB, Rummy and others gather here can only be compared to those at the Bruce Springsteen topic... And to us U2 geeks of course

I find it hard to be a super-geek of more than one or two bands at a time though (in my case they are U2 and Muse).

1. Ed, it is nice to see that you are listening to the 2003 boots...the tour that...challenged you - understandably, of course.

2. Ron's name should always be added to the "vast knowledge" list - for the most part, it was him and Ed that have got me where I am today. It really has taken attending two shows this year for me to feel like I can remove my self proclaimed "poser" status. I had the opportunity to attend so many shows over the past dozen years but foolishly passes on most of them. Most of my knowledge has now come from a lot of hard "work" and research.

So true about geeking out on no more than two bands at a time. Over most of my life, it has been U2 and someone else. Admittedly, nowadays it's usually PJ and someone else, be it U2, Muse, Soundgarden, etc.

Thats the beauty of PJ Radio Matt....do you have Sirius/XM ?..its great Matt..between PJ and Howard Stern Im set...lol..

there is no way I would have had Indy 2003 on today...not to rub it in, but it was sunny ,80 degrees today in southern Florida...I was poolside with the wife and checked out PJ Radio just as the Indy gig was starting....after about half the show I went for the East Troy gig. as my wife had had it with PJ lol..she put on King Animal !!!!...

I had not heard those 2003 shows in years Matt..
