PEARL JAM / GREATEST HITS COMPILATION (2004)
Pearl Jam is an American rock band formed in 1990 in Seattle, Washington, and is one of the most influential and successful groups to emerge from the grunge movement of the early 1990s. The band's classic lineup consists of lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist Eddie Vedder, lead guitarist Mike McCready, bassist Jeff Ament, drummer Matt Cameron (who joined in 1998), and guitarist Stone Gossard. Pearl Jam’s debut album, Ten (1991), became a monumental success, featuring hits like "Alive," "Even Flow," and "Jeremy." These tracks helped define the sound of grunge and alternative rock, blending heavy, distorted guitar riffs with introspective and emotionally charged lyrics. The band quickly became known for their raw sound, Vedder's distinctive baritone voice, and their outspoken stance on social issues. Over the years, Pearl Jam evolved musically, experimenting with different styles while maintaining a commitment to authenticity and artistic integrity. Albums such as Vs. (1993), Vitalogy (1994), and No Code (1996) further solidified their place in rock history, with songs like "Go," "Better Man," and "Do the Evolution".
