Pearl Jam: Ten (1991)

(Editor's Note) We didn't quit. I just forgot it was Tuesday and then my dog was so itchy I took him to the vet and then I had to help my kid with her math homework and it was about scale factors so it took a bit.  This week's episode is as close to religion as we can get because this is the best podcast about Pearl Jam and the 160th greatest album of all time. This podcast also really whips the llama's ass because it is sponsored by Beringer White Zinfandel, Fever-Up, and Ticketmaster.   Before we get into the music, we get lost in the sauce in the sauce discussing the best things to do in San Francisco, bar hopping style, and the price of condoms.  Then we chat about solo road trips and the best gas station snacks. We also dink and dunk for a little bit, becoming the best pickleball podcast of 2023.   Then at (45:00) our thoughts arrive like butterflies when we cover Pearl Jam's debut album, Ten. We discuss Pearl Jam's formation, how late 70s rock influenced Pearl Jam, and Eddie Vedder's unique voice and solo efforts. We also cover Pearl Jam's best live songs, the best Pearl Jam albums, and the best songs that are not on albums.   If you were helplessly hoping for another podcast episode, you don't have to cry, because next week we become the best Crosby, Still and  Nash podcast and discuss their eponymous debut album, Crosby, Stills & Nash.
