Biography

Pearl Jam was the most popular American rock band of the '90s. Ten, their 1991 debut, didn't begin selling significantly until early 1992, after Nirvana made mainstream rock radio receptive to alternative rock. Soon, Pearl Jam outsold Nirvana, which wasn't surprising: Pearl Jam fused the riff-heavy stadium rock of the '70s with the grit and anger of '80s post-punk, without ever neglecting hooks and choruses. Despite their status as rock & roll superstars, the band refused to succumb to the accepted conventions of the music industry. They remained successful, if not nearly as visible, throughout the early 2000s; 2006's Pearl Jam, for instance, was a number two hit. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
