Deep Thoughts, to get a post up technically still in February

You know what from the 90s/aughts just does not hold up? Pearl Jam. I can't really figure out why -- too serious? Takes itself too seriously, more to the point? Kind of plodding, and not very hooky or melodically interesting, especially minus the visual of Earlier Eddie Vedder, which at one time, was rather compelling? All of this and more, no doubt.
