Yellow Ledbetter – 1993 – Daugher B-Side. What really puts the song over the top, however, is the excellent McCready solo that serves as a bridge.Ĥ. With the softer guitars and the rolling drums, it remains hard for a listener to not hum or sing the main chorus – don’t call me daughter / not fair to / the picture kept will re-mi-i-i-ind me. More importantly for the band, it established to the main stream that they had a softer side that was just as listenable, unlike most other bands labelled as “grunge.” The song’s strongest point is it’s sing-along melody. While not my personal favorite song, Daughter reached number 1 on the Billboard 200 in 1993, anchoring an album that sold almost one million copies in its first week. It’s a strong and forceful song, flush with passionate and memorable lines like and sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky /a human being that was given to fly, and it remains one of their best.ģ. The fourth song on and first single from their later album Yield, Given to Fly represented something of a return to their earlier roots after the more experimental Vedder-led output in the mid-90s (namely, No Code). It’s a brilliant song whose message about the suicide of a pyschologically-damaged suburban boy – and the amazing and shocking music video that goes with it – go perfectly together.Ģ. With it’s eerie content, suberb vocals, outstanding guitar work, Jeremy rose to #5 on the billboard chart and rightfully so. Ten consistently gains recognition among the greatest rock records of all time, as the album has seven or eight single-worthy songs. For the number 1 spot, I chose the best song on their first and most successful album.
What follows is a list of their 10 greatest songs, a collection difficult to choose from 15 years of quality hard rock.ġ. Though Eddie Vedder has always sang vocals with Jeff Ament on bass, and Stone Gossard and Mike McCready on guitar, the band historically had a problem finding a drummer, recycling Jack Irons, Matt Chamberlain, Dave Knudsen, and Dave Abbruzzesse before finally settling on former Soundgarden drummer Matt Cameron, who has been with the band for the last 8 years. Though less memorable or groundbreaking than Nirvana, Pearl Jam has made their own mark on music history and proved they have remarkable staying power even after 15 years, they still tour and attract a wide following. Pearl Jam first emerged on the music scene as part of the Nirvana-led, Seattle-based grunge wave of the early 1990s.
