Seattle, United States (1990 – present)
Pearl Jam is an American rock band that formed in Seattle, Washington in 1990. Since its inception, the band’s line-up has included Eddie Vedder (lead vocals, guitar), Jeff Ament (bass guitar), Stone Gossard (rhythm guitar), Mike McCready (lead guitar), and drummer Matt Cameron, who has been with the band since 1998.
Formed after the demise of Ament and Gossard’s previous band Mother Love Bone, Pearl Jam broke into the mainstream with its debut album Ten. One of the key bands of the grunge movement in the early 1990s, Pearl Jam was criticized early on—most notably by Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain—as being a corporate cash-in on the alternative rock explosion. However, over the course of the band’s career its members became noted for their refusal to adhere to traditional music industry practices, including refusing to make music videos and engaging in a much-publicized boycott of Ticketmaster. In 2006, Rolling Stone described the band as having “spent much of the past decade deliberately tearing apart their own fame.”
The band has sold 30 million records in the U.S., and an estimated 60 million albums worldwide. Pearl Jam has outlasted many of its contemporaries from the alternative rock breakthrough of the early 1990s and is considered one of the most influential bands of the decade. Allmusic calls it “the most popular American rock & roll band of the ’90s”.

I love No Code but I prefer Yield. It goes to show how good this band is if everyone's favorite album is different.

@Raca22: "Why Pearl Jam isn't Grunge now? :\" - Well in my opinion it's because Grunge is not so much a genre as it was an era. @tpennington: Someone needed to do it! @DonnieSTFU: Obviously you're joking!

I haven't been on here in a while so I went through and was reading some older posts and I would like to say that you tards that call PJ a Creed rip off are morons. First of all PJ was around for several years before Creed, so if anyone is ripping anyone off its that poser Scott Stapp. The only thing Creed really had going for them was that Mike Tremonti on guitar. Now to the next thing that urked. I read a few posts that bagged on PJ and then further mentioned that "Purple" is their best album. Again I say that tards shouldn't have access to the internet. You can rip on PJ if you want, people always have but at least make sure that you are ripping on the correct band. "Purple" is by STP and I agree its a great album but get it straight, PJ is not STP, and if you don't know these acronyms then google. Now onto my vote for my fav songs. I've always loved "Yellow Ledbetter", "All Those Yesterdays" and "Betterman". Anyways sorry for the bitchy post but I had or I couldn't live with myself
