    The MTV performance for Animal is still my favorite live performance ever.

    The energy and delivery of that song is unbelievable.

    I can still remember the first time I put it on.  About 15 second into GO. I thought damn these guys aren't going anywhere.  

    Great album.

    To me, it's still the real fastest selling album of all time. Fuck *NSYNC. Any album released during/after the bubblegum pop takeover doesn't count.
    I feel the same way, except I remember it being Garth Brooks that initially took out Pearl Jam's record.   I remember it being a bit iffy because they changed how they calculated sales.   I'm still convinced the record would of held if Soundscan hasn't changed the math.

    I was a freshman in high school.  My grandma drove me to the record store after school to get it on release day.  (Along with Rush's "Counterparts")  There was such a great mystique about it...  The fact that it was released on vinyl...Major labels had for the most part stopped pressing vinyl by like 1990.   There was no music video released.  The album title was not printed anywhere on the (original) album packaging.  The CD was available as a standard jewel case, as well as a limited edition "Eco-Pak"....Still not sure what the story behind this is.

    I was a senior in high school in 93. I will never forget going to the record store at 10pm the night before and waiting on line until midnight to get my copy. I think I bought it in every format. I remember listening to the tape on the way home turned up to 11 in the car. Great memories.

    "Watch out for music. It should come with a health warning. It can be dangerous. It can make you feel so alive, so connected to the people around you, and connected to what you really are inside. And it can make you think that the world should, and could, be a much better place. And just occasionally, it can make you very, very happy." -Peter Gabriel
