Release
Pearl Jam
Ten is the debut album by the American alternative
rock band Pearl Jam, released on August 27, 1991
through Epic Records. Following the disbanding of
bassist Jeff Ament and guitarist Stone Gossard's
previous group Mother Love Bone, the two
recruited vocalist Eddie Vedder, guitarist Mike
McCready, and drummer Dave Krusen to form
Pearl Jam in 1990. Most of the songs began as
instrumental jams, to which Vedder added lyrics
about topics such as depression, homelessness,
and abuse.
Ten was not an immediate success, but by late
1992 it had reached number two on the Billboard
200 chart. The album produced three hit singles:
"Alive", "Even Flow", and "Jeremy". While Pearl
Jam was accused of jumping on the grunge
bandwagon at the time, Ten was instrumental in
popularizing alternative rock in the mainstream.
The album has been certified twelve times Platinum
in the United States and remains Pearl Jam's most
successful album.
Guitarist Stone Gossard and bassist Jeff Ament
had played together in the pioneering grunge band
Green River. Following Green River's dissolution in
1987, Ament and Gossard played together in
Mother Love Bone during the 1980s.
