Expository Essay
Almost everyone has a favorite band. People buy CD's and tapes
to 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 band

favorite bands in that category: Pearl Jam, Everclear, and No Doubt.
Pearl Jam is a band from Seattle. They were one of the first
alternative bands to ever become popular from this area. The lead singer

(guitar and vocals) Jack Irons, (drums) and Mike McCready, (guitar).

couple of the songs that Pearl Jam does are Jeremy, Daughter, Smile, Spin
the Black Circle and Tremor Christ. Pearl Jam has a knack for writing
catchy lyrics that become very popular.
Everclear is a band from Portland. They are not as popular as Pearl
Jam, but they do have a large following of fans. The three band members
of Everclear are Art Alexis, (lead vocals, and guitar) Greg Eklund, (drums
and vocals) and Craig Montoya, (bass, and vocals). Their album together
is 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, and
Santa Monica. All of the lyrics are good, but there is a lot of profanity on
this album.
No Doubt is the last band, but is not the least. No Doubt has...
Great
