As probably made aware, I am a huge Pearl Jam fan, and I would agree with you Davers that "Last Kiss" is a wretched song. How the fuck it became a single, and one of their biggest, is beyond me.

I would not judge them based on that song.

I appreciate the effort, but I never meant to blame anyone. I just don't like Alice in Chains.

I dont judge them on that one song, but I will admit it made me far less interested to give anything else by them much of a shot when I was a kid.

I've grown into Pearl Jam since then but I have still yet to see why they are worthy of some of the praise they were/are given. I guess it probably would have helped to be older than 4 years old when Ten came out.

Just to be clear, you were referring to Pearl Jam's version of the song, right?

Wait…Unless that was a pun. Was that a pun? I love puns. Good one.

Wait…If that were a pun then you would be implying that the song itself is wretched and not simply depicting wretched circumstances.

Unless said pun was referring to Pearl Jam's version of the song.

Don't worry Rusty, you're not alone. I respect Alice in Chains for what they are, but they really never did anything for me. Elliott Smith got me through a lot though. And at least in my opinion, his harmonic progressions are other-worldy/dreamy/easy to get lost in.
