One of Pearl Jam's biggest songs is Jeremy from the Tin album.
Alan CrossHOST
It tells two stories that are intertwined into one, and both involve school shootings.
Alan CrossHOST
You may have heard a version of the story behind this song, but what follows is something much, much more detailed and paints a much, much more complicated story than anything you may have been told.
Rosie WaterlandHOST
but you had to, like, yeah ... download, you buy them for, yeah, oof.
Rosie WaterlandHOST
Um, like, so for example, Pearl Jam's album Ten was $18 on Pono versus, like, $7- Yeah ... for a regular download somewhere else.
Rosie WaterlandHOST
Most albums were between 18 to $25.

Highlights, once, even flow, and release.
James CampionHOST
Ten is the debut studio album by Pearl Jam, released on August 27, 1991, on Epic Records.
James CampionHOST
Born out of tragedy, as the previous year, 27-year-old bassist Jeff Ament and guitarist Stone Gossard, 24, were forced to dissolve their band, Mother Love Bone, when vocalist Andrew Wood died of a heroin overdose shortly before the release of their debut album, Apple.
James CampionHOST
After a few months of stunned grieving, Gossard began writing harder-edged songs than he'd ever done previously, expunging his pain, before seeking out a guitarist that could help him best express it, which he soon found in fellow Seattle Axeman Mike McCready, also 24, whose band Shadow had just broken up.
James CampionHOST
They were quickly signed to Epic Records on the strength of those 11 songs.
James CampionHOST
However, the label convinced the band to change its name over concerns about intellectual property and naming rights, following Mookie Blaylock's recent inking of an endorsement deal with Nike.
James CampionHOST
Despite now going by the name Pearl Jam, which was the result of a band brainstorming session at a Neil Young concert, in commemoration of the original name, they titled the debut album Ten, after Blaylock's jersey number.
James CampionHOST
The newly minted Pearl Jam convened in Seattle's London Bridge Studios in March of 1991 with producer Rick Parashar, who had previously worked with the musicians on a joint tribute project to the fallen Andrew Wood with fellow Seattle rocker Soundgarden's frontman Chris Cornell, who had been Wood's roommate, called Temple of the Dog.

DudeHOST
You know, getting beaten up a little bit and punching back.
DudeHOST
Produced by the band with Brendan O'Brien.
DudeHOST
