Dude, I'm no PJ honk, even though I DO own all their studio albums in some form or another... but I've never heard a bad PJ album. In fact, I prefer their later stuff to the earlier stuff.
Not a fan of Mother Love Bone huh? Curious about what might have been and what type of success they would've had. Pearl Jam as we know it never even exists without Andrew Woods death. Cornells Temple of the Dog tribute and Alice in Chains "Would" dedicated to him as well.
