I don’t think it’s fair to say that Weiland sounded like Ed. STP were already doing their thing around the time PJ got started. And to Weiland’s credit, he pivoted to something more his own after all the Ed/Scott comparisons became so widespread.
You could just as easily say that Ed sounded like Scott.

I think most of the replies in here will be songs where the singer sounds like early Eddie Vedder. Scott Stapp, etc. I'm interested in the ones that are similar musically. Following.

I didn't really say Weiland was imitating Ed, but it really doesn't matter if it's intentional or not for the purposes of this thread. In fact, I'd say it's more interesting if it isn't intentional

Lock this one mods.
Creed's first two albums have better guitar riffs than Pearl Jam entire catalog so in that vain, yes they got it wrong.
Tremonti is one of the best guitarists of his generation. I didn't think that was controversial. PJ is the better band by a healthy margin but in terms of guitar playing ,CREED (Tremonti) is better.

Sure, and I wasn't trying to attack your post specifically. It just seems like there's long been a popular narrative that Weiland was aping Ed, and that's never sat well with me.

I don't think he was either. Though Plush is very similar sounding, coincident or not. I actually thought he veered closer to an Alice in Chains type of vocal on that first album.

Only if you like that kind of sound. I'd take the guitars from DTE over any Tremonti riff.
