A community portal about Pearl Jam with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Pearl Jam is an American rock band formed in Seattle, Washington, and is considered one of the most influential bands of the 1990s. Founded in 1990, Pearl Jam was one of the "Big Four" bands of the grunge movement, alongside Nirvana, Alice in Chains and Soundgarden and sold, as of December 2006, over 31 million records in the U.S. alone. They are one of the few bands to lead the breakthrough of alternative rock in the early 1990s that remain active today.

NEW YORK (Billboard) - "Super poppy." "Just plain fun." "Surprisingly optimistic." "Catchy as hell." These are not phrases often used to describe Pearl Jam, the 30 million-selling purveyor of angst-ridden guitar rock now approaching its 19th year of existence. And yet these are the words being used on blogs to describe "The Fixer," the first song from the Seattle rock band's ninth album, "Backspacer." The track is a surging, '80s-style rocker written by drummer Matt Cameron. You can't blame Cameron, singer Eddie Vedder, bassist Jeff Ament or guitarists Stone Gossard and Mike McCready for smiling wider than usual. President George W. Bush, who the ... Read Full Story

I just came across an article from a few years ago that stated that Americans chose Pearl Jam as the greatest American rock band of all-time in a survey. Don’t get me wrong – I really like Eddie Vedder and the rest of the band, but I was shocked to see Pearl Jam as number one! We’re not talking about the best band of the alternative music movement and we’re not talking about the best band of the last 20 years. This is the best American band of all-time. Then I started thinking about things. Who would normally be chosen as the best rock ... Read Full Story

Yesterday, as I was browsing through some music reviews I stumbled onto a piece of writing that cited a survey claiming that Pearl Jam was the best band in American rock history. As much as I do love so many of this band's hits, it still came as a major surprise to me to see that no one was better in the minds of Americans. It might be one thing if they were referring to the best alternative band, or if they polled people 30 years old and younger, asking them who the best American rock band of their lifetimes was. It wasn't that ... Read Full Story

I’ll probably get a lot of shit from some Pearl Jam fans, but I think this newest album is the best since Ten, I know it’s a little pop oriented, but I’m fine with that, I’m getting kind of tired of everybody trying to be “indie” and all that shit. Anyway, I think this new album has everything that made all the previous albums great and made this album phenomenal. Gonna See My Friend and Got Some seem to blend together to me, not that they sound the same but they seem like bookend songs about getting some drugs, when I was a young ... Read Full Story

While much of our attention has been on Phish’s Festival 8 , there were plenty of other great shows played last night to celebrate Halloween, and we’re gradually getting caught up on a few of them today. Pearl Jam’s fourth and final show at Philly’s Spectrum Arena looks to be one of the more epic Halloween shows that was played last night. Spin magazine has a solid wrap-up of all that went down in Philly last night: …Saturday’s three-and-a-half-hour Halloween set did include oddities — from a roadie dressed in full-body rat costume for “Rats,” to a boxing-ring girl giving periodic World Series updates ...

Kenny Mayne: Whoever accused Mayne of being “tipsy” at a Pearl Jam recently was wrong. “I maybe drink twice or three times a year, a bottle of wine with my wife. New Years Eve I might have one scotch in honor of my dad or something. By trade, I’m not a drinker. I hate drunks [...]

By: Brian Heisler There has never been any lack of greatness in the career of Pearl Jam, but the band's ninth studio release, Backspacer (Universal), returns the band to No. 1 on the Billboard charts, and moreover, it provides a handful of soon-to-be classic tunes. Every Pearl Jam album has had its place, but the previous three studio albums - Binaural (2000), Riot Ac (2002) and Pearl Jam (2006) - have all proved to be largely forgettable...
