What was your first PJ song that you ever heard? And what is PJ song that ever touch you?
I think that in my case, my first heard was Jeremy. But first "love" between PJ songs was Indifference.

    Last Exit. Received a copy of Vitalogy (on cassette!) as a gift, and it was the first time I had ever even heard of the band. Got hooked immediately.
    "Where's KW?"
    "Let's check Idaho."

    I think I saw Hungerstrike that night too. Was a soundgarden fan already and loved PJ immediately

    First song I ever heard by Pearl Jam would have been Daughter and Betterman around 1993 or 1994. Can't remember which I heard first but I wasn't all that impressed until I heard Alive much later actually. I didn't listen to alternative rock or hard rock radio until I was a bit older, and the popular and variety stations around my hometown didn't play anything off of Ten back then, just Betterman, Daughter and then later Last Kiss. Once I heard Alive on a now defunct hard rock station I was instantly converted.

    It was Alive. I still remember walking through the living room and hearing I'm still alive. I had recently lost a family member and friend so that lyric really hit me.

    Alive. Sitting at my local pool, and my friend Flippy's Walkman (remember those) had Ten in it, queued up right to the beginning of Alive, and I heard the buzz about the band, so I gave it a whirl.

    A really poor rip of Worldwide Suicide that I downloaded in 2006. Brought 10 soon after & Once blew my nuts off.

    The first one I had ever heard was actually Yellow Ledbetter. Just loved that riff so much. Bought Ten shortly thereafter and the rest is history.

    Better Man was the first PJ tune I think in '94. My two kids still love that tune - they were 1 month and 3 years old respectively at the time...Shortly after hearing it, like days after, I owned all three PJ discs.

    Release - I think of my stepkids who never knew their Dad;

    mine was Jeremy , a few mates and I had come from the UK to house sit in LA ( Costa Mesa ) for a friend of a friend , and I got stuck with the sofa bed in the living room , we had never seen MTV before and Jeremy was on what seemed to be every 15 mins or something daft , and it changed my musical life , it blew my mind , they have been my favourite band ever since :D

    In the early 90's, I was walking down the street with a few friends and they were talking about this cassette tape they just got called ten that just came out, they listened to it and threw it into the woods, :shock: I went after it and listened to it repeatedly the whole summer. bought the CD as soon as I could, and still have both.... Alive was my first and longest lastings love.
    :oops:
    Toronto 9/11..... stoked!

    The first Pearl Jam song I heard was "Alive". I bought TEN when I was thirteen years old and listened to it nonstop for a solid few weeks. Knew the album like the back of my hand after a couple of days.

    "Alive" on MTV, sound and visual. Immediately went and purchased "10" and never looked back.

    Alive on MTV. I was 13. I bought Ten on cassette and would listen to it on my pink plastic tape player over and over. I thought Release was the greatest thing I had ever heard in my life. I still feel that way....

    Jeremy... And I absolutely hated it.

    I didn't appreciate it until years later.
