Ten: Pearl Jam (1991)
Ten helped changed the culture and music industry. Unlike most of the industry, which concentrated on party rock, Pearl Jam dealt with depression, suicide, homelessness, and other issues. The band drew from classic rock and punk to create one of the seminal albums of the 1990s.
Key Tracks:
Even Flow
Alive
Jeremy
Black
Once
Vs.: Pearl Jam (1993)
After experiencing amazing commercial success with Ten, Pearl Jam decided to tone it down for the next album. Although Vs. appeared to be similar to Ten in sound, it was rawer and the band refused to film videos to promote the album or its singles. Despite this, the album went platinum seven times over and spawned several hits.
Key Tracks:
Go
Animal
Daughter
Dissident
Rearviewmirror
Elderly Woman Behind a Counter in a Small Town
Vitalogy: Pearl Jam (1994)
Once again, Pearl Jam changed up with their third album. Vitalogy was extremely diverse and included hard rock, ballads, and even some experimental tracks. The eclectic nature of the album made it more of a punk album for lack of proper qualification. If the album has a theme, it is the loss of privacy and the pressures of superstardom.
Key Tracks:
Not For You
Tremor Christ
Nothingman
Corduroy
Better Man
