Ten is Pearl Jam's debut album and was released in 1991.
Ten, like Nirvana's Nevermind, rightfully represents the foundation of the alternative rock that would evolve in the following years.
Eddie Webber in tracks like 'Alive' and 'Black' adds a state of authenticity and vulnerability that characterises the whole album.
Each track tells a story, with themes ranging from personal struggles ("Jeremy") to self-discovery ("Even Flow").
"Alive", "Jeremy", "Black" and "Even Flow" are definitely the most iconic tracks.
"Ten" pushed grunge into a level of emotional depth and introspection not often found in the genre. It was precisely this willingness to explore new sonic territories that made other bands find inspiration in the alternative rock evolution.
