Eddie Vedder's cover of J Frank Wilson's "Last Kiss" may well be the most horrible vocal by a major star evah

lil tidbit - that is technically Pearl Jam's best selling single.
It's probably my least favorite song in the Pearl Jam catalog, but I hardly think it's the most horrible vocal by a major star ever.

He doesn't have the range to sing that kind of song. To me, it's just this side of Roseanne Barr singing the Anthem.
eta: wasn't that recorded for charity or something? If so, good on PJ for doing it.

Speaking of ####### teenagers- had this happen at a party I threw when my dad went out of town. The dude tried to shoot 151 and lit his face on fire. We got it put out pretty fast, so I think he had just a couple of small blisters, and a big red streak up the side of his face for awhile. No idea what he told his parents...

I had to go back and listen to "Last Kiss" to make sure I wasn't having some sort of false memory-bias. Nope. Click at your own risk.

I don't require a singer to be technically proficient, but this is just terrible. It's not all Vedder's fault, as the production in the local middle school here on Appalachia would be better than this.
I'm not a big Pearl Jam fan, but like some of their songs. That being said, I feel sorry for people 100 years from now searching by "best selling PJ songs" and having this steaming pile be their intro (and outro, if they have ears that work)..

Dude, I'm a Grand Funk fan. No pretensions here, my friend. At least be able to hit the notes of the song you're singing if you're a pro - sing a song that fits your ability.
guess we'll just agree to disagree

yep
FWIW, I don't think that people necessarily look for new music that way (not sure if you were insuating that they were or not)...but for the helluvit I looked at the 10 most popular songs for Pearl Jam on Spotify, and it's not anywhere to be found

I was kinda drunk last night but I think I only said this because I knew you'd be along to defend his honor

I think you're being generous at only 75%, but - yep.
Vedder nails songs like "Jeremy" where his bellow is incredibly effective. I'm not saying he's not a good singer, just that he is pitiful on this record with this type of melody. And J Frank Wilson ain't Pavarotti; just a different type of singer/song than those that play to Vedder's strengths.

Thank God. You had mentioned that it was their most popular single, which is why I posted that stupid supposition.FWIW, I don't think that people necessarily look for new music that way (not sure if you were insuating that they were or not)...but for the helluvit I looked at the 10 most popular songs for Pearl Jam on Spotify, and it's not anywhere to be found

Almost, but the guy had zero extracurriculars. I know he's a legacy, but his Dad was way more accomplished

That was recorded in one take at a soundcheck, and released as a free single to their fan club members. They did zero promotion and never imagined it would sell like it did. The success of that song was 100% from word of mouth and people calling into radio stations requesting it.

It's not possible for a bunch of people to have equally lousy taste in music? Pretty sure Hanson were a big hit at one point too.McGarnicle said:
Pro Tip Prior To Someone Having a Brain Hemorrhage: I'm not comparing Pearl Jam to Hanson, per se(although I certainly don't think PJ/Vedder is the panacea some folks do), I'm saying that particular Peal Jam song is pretty bad, no matter how many people enjoyed/continue to enjoy it.

Use tin foil. Super easy and people just think you were trying to be "quirky and original."

Need some bostonfred input here:
Last night I dreamt that we were living in temporary housing until we moved into our new house. Our temp housing was amazing, though--a roboto-worthy palace--and tons of our friends were over oohing and ahhing about it, but I had to tell them we didn't own that place but were buying a different house.
Anyway, I was looking for my hiking pants, which I never found, but throughout the house our friends were going through boxes and boxes of paperwork to gather documents in response to a subpoena involving some fraud alleged to be committed by some bank. But all the paperwork in the house comprised every bit of paper or documentation that had ever involved me in my whole life. As I walked through the house searching for my pants, I kept coming across my friends pulling out documents to see if they were responsive to the subpoena, and I was getting really pissed off because they were not taking good care to put the documents back in the order they were in but were just flinging stuff around and being really careless.
Then I noticed one of my friends was about to get to my tax returns, and I stopped him and said this was ridiculous, because all these documents had to do with me, not some bank fraud, and of course none of them were going to be responsive to the subpoena, but really I just didn't want him to see my tax returns and know my income. But when I told him this was ridiculous and that none of these documents would be relevant, he pulled out a tiny piece of paper, square, that had been folded in the middle twice. He unfolded it and told me that some of these documents were clearly relevant, like this one, which said: "Krista and Linda: Miss Coppertone called", and it was signed "Donna".
[Pause to mention that Linda was a paralegal who worked for me at Kraft, and Donna was my admin there, and in the dream I knew these were the people referenced.]
I took the paper and realized he had misread the handwriting, and it really said, "Krista and Linda: Good cooking. Donna"
Fin.

If only there was some appropriately decorated sack-type thing that one could use to put gifts in.
