Biography
Pearl Jam is an American rock band that formed in Seattle, Washington, in 1990.
Since its inception, the band's line-up has included Eddie Vedder (lead vocals,
guitar), Jeff Ament (bass guitar), Stone Gossard (rhythm guitar), and Mike
McCready (lead guitar). The band's current drummer is Matt Cameron, also of
Soundgarden, who has been with the band since 1998.
Formed after the demise of Ament and Gossard's previous band, Mother Love Bone,
Pearl Jam broke into the mainstream with its debut album, Ten. One of the key
bands of the grunge movement in the early 1990s, Pearl Jam was criticized early
on as being a corporate cash-in on the alternative rock explosion. However, over
the course of the band's career its members became noted for their refusal to
adhere to traditional music industry practices, including refusing to make music
videos and engaging in a much-publicised boycott of Ticketmaster. In 2006,
Rolling Stone described the band as having "spent much of the past decade
deliberately tearing apart their own fame."
To date, the band has sold over 33 million records in the U.S. and an estimated
60 million worldwide. Pearl Jam has outlasted many of its contemporaries from
the alternative rock breakthrough of the early 1990s, and is considered one of
the most influential bands of the decade. Allmusic refers to Pearl Jam as "the
most popular American rock & roll band of the '90s."
