    I was 15 and I remember talking to my friend who was saying how great PJ was. He was asking me if I liked Jeremy and at that time I could not stand Eddie or his voice. Even watching the video made me grind my teeth. Eventually, I heard other songs from Ten and they started to capture my interest. When VS came out their music really hit me and Eddie wasn't so bad after all.

    Once upon a time, my musical preferences were limited to Technotronic, C&C Music Factory and MC Hammer. Don't shoot me yet. I was maybe 8 or 9 years old at the time. Then, one day, as I was browsing FM stations on my boombox, I heard "Go" for the first time. The rest is history. In the weeks and months that followed, I heard a few more Pearl Jam singles from Ten and Vs., Metallica's "Enter Sandman," a few Aerosmith songs from "Get A Grip," and grunge-era favourites from Soundgarden, STP and AIC. I was fortunate enough to have grown up in an era when MTV actually played music videos. 120 Minutes, Headbanger's Ball, Beavis & Butt-Head... memories...

    Gosh, I feel old now. I was a sophomore in college when Ten came out in '91, so that's when I first heard the band. I instantly fell in love. :)

    Picking up my brother from school, he gave me the TEN cassette saying "You want this?, you'd probably like it"
    He was right...once heard "Once", I was hooked.I was 19 in 91
    If a man speaks in a forest and there is no woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

    at the time, I was trying to listen to the new Robert Palmer album, But Robert, my supposed brother, kept buzzing in my ear about this new band.

    First thing I ever heard from Ed was, THIS IS NOT A TV STUDIO....JOSH

    I've been a fan ever since

    i was 7 years old and my dad took away my sister's copy of TEN because of Jeremy and the news reports. She copied it on tape in anticipation and I wondered why it caused such a dispute. IT ROCKED TOO MUCH

    In my basement watching Alternative Nation. Steve Isaacs from the Panic Channel was the vj, he said it was his new favorite band. I had heard Eddie on the TOTD album previously though.
    NERDS!
