Whatever, Nevermind No 3: Pearl Jam - Ten w/Craig Smith

Coming in at No. 3 on Rolling Stones Greatest Grunge albums is the debut record from Pearl Jam, Ten. Joining the program this week, from Pods & Sods, Craig Smith. Craig and Bakko get into all the details of this seminal Grunge classic.

Ten is the debut studio album by American rock band Pearl Jam, released on August 27, 1991, through Epic Records. Following the dissolution of their previous band Mother Love Bone in 1990, bassist Jeff Ament and guitarist Stone Gossard began rehearsing with guitarist Mike McCready. The group recorded a five-song instrumental demo tape with Matt Cameron on drums. Copies of the demo were eventually given to drummer Dave Krusen and vocalist Eddie Vedder, both of whom were invited to audition for the band in Seattle. Many of the songs on Ten were instrumental jams or reworked Mother Love Bone songs for which Vedder composed new melodies and lyrics.
