Pearl Jam is one of the most famous bands of the 1990s grunge-rock era. The band congealed around founding members Stone Gossard and Jeff Ament, who previously played together in the bands Green River and Mother Love Bone. With the addition of husky-voiced Eddie Vedder, the band recorded their debut album, Ten, in 1991. Combining the guitar fury of punk with the melodic riffs of stadium rock, the band quickly outsold fellow grunge contemporaries Nirvana. Yet by 1996, when they released No Code, the grunge movement had lost steam. Pearl Jam retains cult status among many fans, even taking the unprecedented step of simultaneously releasing 72 live albums in 2000 and 2001.Reviews
