'Ten' is a classic grunge album that helped define the sound of the '90s. With Eddie Vedder's powerfully distinctive vocals and the band's raw and emotive instrumentation, the album tackles themes of social isolation and disillusionment. From the anthemic "Alive" to the haunting "Black," each track is a rock masterpiece that cemented Pearl Jam's iconic status. Released in 1991, it was not an immediate mainstream success, but by late 1992 it peaked at #2 on the Billboard chart driven by songs like "Jeremy" and "Even Flow". Simply, ahead of its time!
