Originally comprised of Eddie Vedder (vocals), Stone Gossard and Mike McCready (guitars), Jeff Ament (bass), and Dave Krusen (drums), the band gained significant popularity during the 1990s grunge movement. Their debut album, "Ten," released in 1991, showcased their distinctive sound characterized by Eddie Vedder's powerful vocals and introspective lyrics. Pearl Jam quickly amassed a dedicated fan base due to their energetic live performances and socially conscious approach to music. Notable hits like "Alive," "Jeremy," and "Even Flow" propelled their rise to stardom.
