70s AC/DC

Whole lotta' Rosie or GTFO

Merriam Webster offers this:



Using definition 3, as the other two don't really apply, maybe only one or two Pearl Jam songs would qualify as "anthems," in the technical sense. I think the word has taken on connotations in music writing that make it reasonable to use in a setting beyond its formal definition, but by the same token the temptation to label any "big" song with an easily recognizable chorus an "anthem" is probably a little excessive. I'm not sure why being mid-tempo matters either--surely you could classify "Blitzkrieg Bop" as a "punk anthem," and that's pretty uptempo.

I prefer Stip's definition. Irrespective of the word used to describe these songs I think the point was well made. Middle class digressions about definitions are rarely interesting.

mama mia! that collection could withstand a ton of marriages/divorces!

so we have a real opportunity to turn this into a thing, then?

Can you clarify what you mean by this?

Yeah, granted Atlanta's nothing special but I didn't think it was that bad either. No question though that Pensacola is the better boot (and setlist).
The acoustic encore is pretty sweet from Missoula. Loving the sound quality on these too.
