CD's and tapesto not only listen to the music that they like, but to support
that band.There are many, many different types of music, and usually a
certain bandwill fit into a specific type of music. I listen mostly to
alternative/grungemusic. And by coincidence the three bands I'm going to
talk about are allfrom the west coast. I am going to talk a little bit about
three of myfavorite bands in that category: Pearl Jam, Everclear, and No
Doubt.Pearl Jam is a band from Seattle. They were one of the
firstalternative bands to ever become popular from this area. The lead
singerof Pearl Jam is Eddie Vedder, he does the lead vocals and plays
theguitar. The rest of the band includes, Jeff Ament, (bass) Stone
Gossard,(guitar and vocals) Jack Irons, (drums) and Mike McCready,
(guitar). Acouple of the songs that Pearl Jam does are Jeremy, Daughter,
Smile, Spinthe Black Circle and Tremor Christ. Pearl Jam has a knack for
writingcatchy lyrics that become very popular. Everclear is a band from
Portland. They are not as popular as PearlJam, but they do have a large
following of fans. The three band membersof Everclear are Art Alexis,
(lead vocals, and guitar) Greg Eklund, (drumsand vocals) and Craig
Montoya, (bass, and vocals). Their album togetheris Sparkle and Fade,
and it is one of the best albums I've ever heard.Among the may popular
songs are Heroin Girl, Sparkle and Fade, andSanta Monica. All of the
lyrics are good, but there is a lot of profanity onthis album. No Doubt is
the last band, but is not the least. No Doubt has had anumber one album,
Tragic Kingdom, and it is VERY popular. This band isout of California.
The band members are: Gwen Stefani, (lead vocals) TomDumont,
(guitar) Tony Kanal, (bass) Adrian Young, (drums and percussion)and
Eric Stefani (piano and keyboards) Gwen, the lead singer is the
onlyfemale in this band, and hers is the only voice you hear in all of the
songs.Some of their songs includes, Just a Girl, Spider Webs, and
Excuse MeMister. All are popular and make an awesome album with all
of the songson it. These bands all are popular here in the Northwest
and all havepopular albums out. People have shown their support of
these bands bybuying their albums and requesting their favorite songs on
the radio. PearlJam, Everclear, and No Doubt are among my very favorite
bands, and Iown all of their albums.
