Ten - Pearl Jam (CD 1993)

Many people name Nirvana as being the father of alternative rock. I like to clarify that. I personally believe that Nirvana was the father of grunge and that Pearl Jam was the father of alternative. Pearl Jam deliveres some very poignant material on this CD. Front man Eddie Vedder delivers this amazing music in a way that no one else could. The lyrics are brilliant! The music fits the mood of the message of each song. Issues of society are addressed. This was the beginning of something huge. There was an awareness that came with the purchase of this CD that came from nowhere else. It is simply brilliant!
