lists Pearl Jam as the 14th most acclaimed act of the 1990s, which seems fair or even slightly generous. It might well be worth using 2003’s double-disc Rearviewmirror (Greatest Hits 1991–2003) as a one-stop shopping solution to the band’s work. I favour 1996’s eclectic No Code, but don’t think Pearl Jam ever made a great album. Fan opinion is often divided on their best work many fans enjoy their first two albums and think they fell away afterwards. They’ve explored plenty of sonic territory while largely sticking to meat and potatoes rock. It’s difficult to credit Pearl Jam as innovators, as they’ve always felt like a seventies stadium rock band at heart, but they’re a likeable band all the same. and Vitalogy, Jack Irons helped facilitate the eclecticism of No Code, while Soundgarden’s Matt Cameron has been the drummer since 2000’s Binaural, and has contributed more as a songwriter than any of the other drummers. Dave Krusen anchored the arena rock of 1991 debut Ten, Dave Abbruzzese’s busy style was highlighted in the aggressive Vs. The band have gone through a succession of drummers who have all influenced the group’s sound.
Rhythm guitarist Stone Gossard and bassist Jeff Ament started a new band with Mike McCready on lead guitar and recruited surfer Eddie Vedder as their vocalist. Pearl Jam grew from the remnants of Mother Love Bone, whose singer Andrew Wood overdosed.
