Pearl Jam is an American rock band that formed in Seattle, Washington in 1990. The band's original line-up consisted of Eddie Vedder (lead vocals), Jeff Ament (bass), Stone Gossard (rhythm guitar), Mike McCready (lead guitar), and Peter Knudsen (drums). The band's current drummer is Matt Cameron, formerly of Soundgarden, who has been with the band since 1998.

Formed in the aftermath of the demise of Ament and Gossard's previous band Mother Love Bone, Pearl Jam broke into the mainstream with its debut album Ten in 1992, nearly a full year after its release. One of the key bands of the grunge movement in the early 1990s, Pearl Jam was nevertheless criticized early on as being a corporate cash-in on the alternative rock explosion. However, as the band's career progressed, they became noted for their refusal to adhere to traditional music industry practices, including refusing to make music videos and engaging in a much-publicized boycott of Ticketmaster. Rolling Stone described the band as having "spent much of the past decade deliberately tearing apart their own fame."

Pearl Jam was the most popular American rock band of the 1990s. As of December 2006, the band has sold over 29 million records in the U.S. alone. 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. Pearl Jam continues to generate hit albums, tour successfully, and garner critical acclaim into the 21st century.

    Pearl Jam in the news

    He explodes the indecency of moral equivalence and moral relativism as it was unfortunately expressed in this movie.

    The beatings and criminal assaults against gays in Jamaica are commonplace and supported by the laws of that country which criminalizes sexual relations between men. Garfield Mullings, not his real name, came to the US to attend the Metropolitan Community Church (MCC) general conference. He worships in fear at what is called the “gay church” in Jam
