    Truth be told, Temple of the Dog's Hunger Strike. I heard it and asked a friend "Who the hell is that singing with Chris Cornell?"

    That got me to buy Ten. And though I love every moment of that album "Why Go" and "Release" sealed the deal. Cathartic. I had a lot of anger towards my parental units.

    Haha, that got me too. Loved Hunger Strike! :P)

    Yield in general was the album that opened me up to PJ. I remember "No Way" being one of the first songs where i was like "wow". But "Evolution" at the time was what I needed to hear. I couldn't get enough heavy screaming rock back then.

    Black, circa summer 1992, followed closely by Alive.

    After listening to my roommate beat that album to death my freshman year (and me hating it the whole time), something finally clicked. Maybe it was the Unplugged show, but at some point, I just got it. Never looked back....

    I really loved everything on "Ten", as it was a classic, but I wasn't really hooked til I saw Animal on the VMA's. I was instantly hooked. The passion, the intensity... it still gets me. When I saw that, I had no doubt that they could follow up Ten with something as good if not better and be a force for many years... Luckily for us, I was right!!!

    I'd say Alive hooked me but Black off of Lo2L made me realize this truly was one of the best bands ever.

    I went nuts when I heard Jeremy for the first time, saw the video when I was 14 or so and thought that PJ was the coolest thing ever....went out and bought the Ten CD(my third ever CD) and the rest is history.....
