around the time i started high school i had some pearl jam songs and thought they were a good band. over the years got some more songs/cds and began to like them more. i even though i was a big fan. well this summer, unfortunately it took me til after my first year of college, but i went to my first concerts and now im hooked. i have all there albums, along with many bootlegs. i am now a fan club member and an avid message pit reader. this band is awesome and its too bad i missed out on all the years theyve already had. taking the advice of you guys i have started to listen to all the albums full all the way through. i started today since i had nothing to do. i started with ten and am currently on yield. you can kinda see how the band has evolved. there all ive been listening to since the concerts. there music is great. now i know why people love this band so much. for me this has been a summer of pearl jam. its gonna b good music to get me through this year at school.
heres to all that share my feeling toward this band

EDIT:also if there is any advice you guys got for me, as far as shows you think i should listen to or somethin like that, it would be much appreciated

    As a fairly new listener myself, I strongly second this!

    I got into PJ in high school ... around '93/94

    Some seminal "old-school" boots I'd recommend:

    Atlanta '94
    Soldier Field '95
    Berlin '96

    These are all radio broadcast boots that were on constant repeat in my car back in the day. If you're curious about what "all the fuss" was about in the 90s ... I highly recommend tracking these down.
    everybody wants the most they can possibly get
    for the least they could possibly do
