All this week, you can find great stuff about Pearl Jam at a new site called TheVertexBlog.com. The Vertex is an online magazine about how pop culture intersects with society. This week's topic is outlined in an article entitled State Of Love And Trust: Pearl Jam’s Backspacer, Barack Obama, And The Nobel Peace Prize (http://thevertexblog.com/vertexpoints/state-of-love-and-trust-pearl-jams-backspacer-barack-obama-and-the-nobel-peace-prize-vertex-point.) It attempts to use Backspacer as a tool to explain Obama's selection for the Nobel. Further, there will be more coverage of the band all week. Already posted on the site is part 1 of the The Ultimate Pearl Jam Song Countdown rankings songs #100-#76 (http://thevertexblog.com/display/below/the-ultimate-pearl-jam-song-countdown-100-76.) The rest of the list will follow throughout the week. Check back all week for more Pearl Jam coverage, leave your feedback in the comments section, and stick around to explore the rest of The Vertex!

I guess it's not all counting down songs. It's all kinds of shit. I can't really wrap my brain around it.

How dare you post something Pearl Jam related on your website and then go on a Pearl Jam message board to tell Pearl Jam fans about it!

The reason I asked if it was spam was because:
#1. It is his first post and it has links in it, I don't know the guy to trust that it is not a virus. No way in hell (even now) will I click on those links.
#2. The typing is very spambot-esque.... No paragraphs just a bunch of words with links in it with buzzwords like Obama to get me to click on it.
#3. If the guy came on here and contributed to other topics, I would have no problem with it but he signed up only to divert traffic to site. That is pretty much the definition of spam to me.

Sorry if you thought it was spam. It's not. I'm a huge fan and a 10 club member. You can see me on the 10club with the same exact user name. I'm sorry if this is considered spam. I spent a lot of time working on something that I assumed people on this board would find interesting and decided to share it. Nobody on the 10club board seemed to have a problem with it. If you do, that is your right, and I apologize. Anyways, here is the conclusion of the countdown today at [url]Thevertexblog.com[/url] with the top 10 Pearl Jam songs of all-time (http://thevertexblog.com/display/below/ ... tdown-10-1.) Come check it out, catch up on the rest of the list and explore our other Pearl Jam related articles from the past week. Hope you all enjoy!
