    The first time I heard them was working at McDonalds with this guy who looked like a cross between Butthead and Chris Cornell with a porn mustache. 10 had just came out but not hit big. He brought a mix tape in to play while we were closing... it had some Soundgarden, Metallica and Pearl Jam on it. I dug it instantly. Bought the album and listened to Release every day at 5 in the morning while walking to work. It was almost a religious experience... the San Luis Obispo streets were usually still covered with fog and traffic was non-existant. I could simply walk and lose myself in the music.

    When 10 came out i was 7, my brothers thrashed it and i was so happy that my brothers loved rock compared to my friends brothers who liked...POP crap!... The neighbours were upset at us coz thats all they heard.

    someone else in this thread mentioned that the songs have memories attached to them, and this is how it is for me.

    Because i was young when they came out most the memories are of me drifting to sleep on my couch after school, with my brother playing Pearl Jam.

    I've been hooked since i was seven!

    Can't remember the first time I heard it, But the first time I LISTENED to it was March 22 '98, When my new girlfriend FORCED me to listen to YIELD six times in a row. I fell in love that night. Not with the girl, but with YIELD and Pearl Jam.

    ---Thanks, Kate. Things didn't work out between us, but I owe you one for Pearl Jam.
    ...so i'll just lie alone and wait for the dream, where i'm not ugly and you're looking at me...

    Don´t remember clearly which one was first, but the two first times listened to Pearl Jam were at Saturday Night Live playing Alive, and the video on MTV, later listened to the MTV Unplugged and became a fan. I was 11-12 years old.

    My cousin introduced me to Pearl Jam 1995 and I was hooked. Not long after I was jumping up and down to their concert @ Eastern Creek in Australia (and convinced I would marry Eddie!) Amazing experience that I will never forget.
