I agree with others regarding the unfavorable impression of Corgan and the Pumpkins. To me they have come across as arrogant and elitist whereas Pearl Jam and Vedder are much more humble and down to earth. Both bands have made music that I really enjoy though. I love the connection and interview that Vedder did with Steve Gleason. It was amazing.

One band that I haven't seen mentioned yet which I enjoyed more than the Pumpkins is Bush (not the Canadian one obviously.) I always thought that Bush was better but I was in a small minority.
