Rockers like Aerosmith, the Stones, Van Halen, et al. are rock bands that stand the test of time, and relate to more than one generation. depending on the flow of music, my kids may find other interests besides Pearl Jam.

the funny thing about polls like this is it's not really that they think Pearl Jam is #1, but that they can defend it easiest (generation), and allows people to talk about it and debate.
I'm not sure I would call PJ a niche band, any PJ show I've been to you see quite an extensive age range of people there.

They're just a rock band in my book, perhaps our generation's Stones or Aerosmith... a band that will stand the test of time.
