Vedder vs. Townshend
With all the recent talk of Pearl Jam and Eddie Vedder, I would
like to ask people how they would compare Vedder's songwriting to
Townshend's. Pearl Jam has become my second favorite band and it's due
in large part to EV's lyrics. I personally think that he and Townshend
are very similar. Both make social comments (EV: "RATS"), political
(EV: "Glorified G") and most importantly they both use songs to tell
stories (EV: "Daughter","Jeremy") (I'm assuming you all know PT's
contributions in each of these areas).
So what do you think? Can they be compared?
