    For me their music is a celebration of life. Its a soundtrack to my life personally but its a path I know I share with a lot of people around the world. We all walk the long road.

    Thanks D

    they Have been a part pf my life since 1990. I can't really put my finger on what they mean to me. They are an important part of my high school days and my life now. Great idea D.

    Saw them for the first time at Lolla in '92 and was so far back I couldn't even see them but the music spoke for itself and that was it. Hooked ever since. Can't describe it like some of the others have here but they are a daily force in my life. And it has also brought me to this awesome group of people in the 10C, I've met some seriously great people without actually meeting them. That speaks volumes of what this group of men have done and have been doing for 20 yrs. :D

    Pearl Jam found me when I was hoping to never be found and lifted me in a way I'd long since thought was impossibe.

    This band to me is a family member. You may go a little while without seeing them, but they are only a call way. Or, in this case, one spin of the vinyl away.

    Thanks again for your generosity.

    Never has one band been such a source of creating friendships and bonds that will last a lifetime. I love the music first and foremost, but the community that has been born from that music is the icing on a really big fucking cake. Thank you for 20 years PJ...here's to 20 more!

    You know when you experience something for the first time and it blows your mind, that's what listening to these guys is like all the time.

    Even my 13 year old daughter and 16 yr old son have been rocking out to Pearl Jam for the last 10 years. And may we ALL continue to do so for many decades to come.

    Too hard to explain, all i know is ever since i heard them for the first time in 8th grade i was hooked. I had never and still havent heard anything like them. its not only how the music sounds and what it means but also the great live performances, the the social impact they have through charities and awareness, and a great group of fans and community. So whether its listening to their music, playing their music on guitar, collecting posters, or dressing my baby in a PJ onesie they are still a big part of my life. :D

    they are a religion, a poetry, one of the most important things that happened for me, starting with Yield
    i've learned to love their music and attitude.

    thanks for everything!

    Because their lyrics & music speak to me when nothing else can.
    Because their songs help me understand my own self better.
    Because I can let out emotions, but also find comfort in their music.
    Because the guys genuinely care about their fans and causes they believe in.
    Because they constantly inspire me and I am constantly getting new things out of songs
    Because they give 2000% at shows
    Because I can honestly say the happiest I have ever been was at the 2 MSG shows I attended

    I could go on....
    but, Ben Bridwell seemed to sum it up best: "Pearl Jam's the best band!"
