I was 11 years old in grade 6. I was in Mrs. Wilkerson's music class. We had just listened to Cat's In The Cradle by Ugly Kid Joe. I was bored. The lights were dim and desks were grouped in 4's. The cassette player emitted a soothing hiss. Then I heard this bass line. Something I had never heard before. Jeremy. That's where it started.
The Wealthy Barber said "The best time to plant an oak tree is 20 years ago...The second best time is now." That's pretty much how I feel about a 10c membership.
See you around!

According to Wikipedia that video came out in 92, so I was about 7. I loved that song so much, EV's voice and that guitar chord at the end were mesmerizing to my tiny little brain.
I got a stereo for either my 9th or 10th birthday and I used to have the radio on for hours leaping over to the stereo to push the record button on the tape deck. Those cassettes were full of Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Nirvana, Alice in Chains, etc. (ok maybe that one wins the 'most 90s statement award )

Also: I'm old.
And the Spaghetti Incident was fucking terrible.

I loved all the bands but I was BLOWN AWAY by Pearl Jam. I got my Dad to take me into town later that week and I bought Ten (on tape!) and a life long commitment/relationship/obsession began!
Girlfriends and friends have come and gone, but Pearl Jam remains. I've been married for around 2 years and my wife still doesn't get it!

To this day, I have never purchased a copy of that album (original version) because my girlfriend bought the CD and she's my wife now, so our collections have merged.
I have bought the reissued vinyl/box set, though.
I was shocked when a few months later I heard Even Flow on the radio for the 1st time & found myself cranking up the volume and rocking out with the song. I still don’t understand my sudden nose dive into Pearl Jam’s music, but I bought a copy of Ten that same day and the rest is history.
