Pearl Jam
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 (vocals), Stone
Gossard (guitar), Jeff Ament (bass), and Mike McCready (guitar). The band's
current drummer is Matt Cameron, also of Soundgarden, who has been with the
band since 1998.
Formed
after the demise of Gossard and Ament'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 as
being a corporate cash-in on the alternative rock explosion; however, Gossard
and Ament had been members of seminal grunge band Green River. 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-publicised boycott of Ticketmaster. In 2006, Rolling
Stone described the band as having "spent much of the past decade
deliberately tearing apart their own fame."
To
date, the band has sold over 31.5 million records in the U.S, and an estimated
60 million 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.[6] Stephen Thomas Erlewine of
Allmusic referred to Pearl Jam as "the most popular American rock &
roll band of the '90s." Pearl Jam will be eligible to be inducted into the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2016.
