Pink Floyd would epic...unlimited art potential...that would be where pins like a pearl jam would fail...look at the rolling stones pin, unbearable to look at even if you like their music...

heres a picture of all the great pearl jam art that could be used in a pin...

We are Motörhead, and we play rock n roll. On a side note AC/DC is ten times the band of Pearl Jam. Beatles rocked but not a big Pink Floyd fan. And yes Iron Maiden will be made somewhere down the road. Twisted Sister would have been cool back in the day and I still like them as well. Always thought a Monsters of Rock pin would work out nice like the tours when they existed. Too bad Motörhead pin would not be made but Lemmy wants one.

I don't care what music pin will come after Iron Maiden

Although I've heard the name, I can't remember listening deliberately to a Pearl Jam song. Maybe I've lived under a stone for the last 20+ years or they're not as popular as some think they are.

Pearl Jam is the greatest United States band ever created followed closely by R.E.M. All those that even try to compare Elvis, Kiss, or AC/DC to the above mentioned are retarded old farts out of touch. Don't you dare dis Pearl Jam as a c list band or I'll personally come over to your house and kick your..... well maybe I'll just argue my points logically backed up by facts and statistics. But still.....

I grew up in the early 90's and graduated HS in 91. I remember what was up then, compared to what now is falsely remembered by most. Nirvana was a boy band that had no talent and their lyrics were nonsensical fronted by a pretty boy that couldn't sing. Weird Al railed on them. Sound Garden and Alice in Chains had a few good songs. Mother Love Bone had some potential but their frontman was holding them back and the bands true potential was unleashed when a San Diego surfer sent in his demo tape. It wasn't until MTV unplugged and InUtero that Nirvana and Kurt Kobain's talents were really understood. R.E.M. had deep meaning songs and lyrics that are so far removed from todays straight forward, no need to try to decipher meaning in words "Taylor Swift" crap that my heart bleeds for people born after 1972. It is a little known fact that when they found Kurt Kobain's body with his head blown off that an R.E.M. album was playing on a loop. I'M IN FOR TWO PEARL JAM PINS! Unfortunately, they will not whore themselves out to marketing like KISS. I truly feel sorry for those people that through some mental deficiency cannot enjoy and acknowledge Pearl Jam as the greatest American Band that ever was.

Like them or not, Pearl Jam are more than a 'C' list band, much more. For me personally I don't think that Pearl Jam would make a good pinball machine theme though.

The trick to it all is finding a band/theme that appeals to a wide variety of pinheads as well as enticing new people into the hobby.

I don't know if they would be too old, but would the Beach Boys be any good? Some very iconic music, plenty of opportunity for modes with surfing, cars and girls. They may be a good throw back to the glory days of the pinball scene for many of us, these being the 60's and 70's. The more I think about it, the more I think they may be a it lame considering how well the hard rock themes seem to be going.

Far stretch from C list. I do think this title is about 15 years or so too late to make any real money.

Really like PJ but do not think this pin would sell enough. IMHO.

Wiki has them listed at 57th highest paid band in the US of all time.

Wiki is wrong.

Pearl Jam is a great band in my opinion and I have seen them a few times in concert. I can't say whether they are a better band than AC/DC or Metallica but I certainly prefer PJ to those other bands. That being said, I don't think their music translates into making a good pinball machine. They only made one video so there is not much there to theme the pin off of. I do think a Pink Floyd pin would be cool though.

what_you_talking_about_willis.jpg

Pearl Jam is awesome, but lets face it...not the best choice for a pin theme. Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, even The Who are much better themes for a pin.

Hell, there's a garage band from my neighborhood that I would rather listen to than Pearl Jam. And would probably be better suited for a pinball machine. Perhaps you've heard of them. Social Distortion.

I have a pearl jam themed mame cab and think that they are one of the greatest bands out there. I would buy one pre order for sure!

You had me until "Dr. Dre"

I guess you don't know much about Pearl Jam then.

I personally agree with this, as these are two of my favorite bands of all time.

Having said that....

.....ain't gonna happen.

this is probably the first time we agree on something 100%

Andrew Wood left us much too soon.

Nah, it isn't quite that bad. I agree with you at least 3% of the time!

Would love to see a PJ pin. Favorite band as a little kid. Put me down for a Ten LE!!!

And that's what you are going to pay!

Ten dollars or no deal.

I'd rather have a Yield LE (ten is good but Yield is one of the best). Or Vitalogy. (not because the album is good, because of the art package)

Vitalogy got me into PJ. But almost all of their albums are great.
Vitalogy-Nothing Man, Corduroy(Best PJ song ever), Better Man, Immortality. All classics.

Bugs in my room ....ahhhhhhh
