    14 in 94. Even Flow video 3 days in a row on the Pauly Shore 3 pm MTV show. Played at the same time each day exactly as I got home from school. That led to Ten, which led to VS with Go and Animal- how could you not be hooked? For me Pearl Jam came first, then Nirvana (as I hated them in 91 when they were so popular) and they are the band that made me take music seriously. They started it all. I have been hooked since, even through their musically challenged No Code era debacle.

    10 when Ten came out. And thus we were forever connected.

    I think I was 14 or 15. It was in gym class and we were running laps. One of the songs that came on was Alive. It was just such a powerful fucking riff that echoed through the gymnasium.

    Must have been 12 in '02.
    I think last kiss was the first song, vitalogy and no code were the first ones i bought (it was limewire's heyday and I was young and money-less).
    I remember thinking "like a stone" was pearl jam,
    oh to be 12 again.

    i was 13...and it was dec 31, 1991...i was watching some show late at night where they performed...i had heard alive and even flow, maybe, on the radio a few times by then, and thought, nice, but after watching that performance, i was hooked forever.

    i really really wish i had a checkbook or credit card number so that i could have joined 10 club back then...

    1993, I was 12 years old. Heard Daughter on a juke box at a pizza joint. Immediately bought Vs. After that I was hooked. Saw my first show when I was 17 in 1998.

    A 13-year old me rode my bike to K-Mart in the summer of 92 and picked up the cassettes for Ten...


    and TLC's "Ooh... On the TLC tip." I remember holding them both in my hand trying to pick which one I would buy, and then saying fuckit, I'll get both. Sufficed to say one stuck around a little longer than the other (can't say I've ever spent any time on the TLC message board, he he).

    But when I really fell for them was a couple of months later, I was on a church trip on a bus from Houston to LA non-stop, and we were allowed to bring a Walkman but no "secular" music. So I decided if I brought one rock tape without the case, I could say it was in there when I grabbed the player and get away with it. So I chose "Ten", and I can't sleep in moving vehicles so I pretty much listened to Ten over and over for 30 hours (when I wasn't playing a Sega Game Gear that is), there and back. My friend did the same thing and brought Temple of the Dog, so I threw in a few listens of that as well. I did get caught, btw, and the excuse totally worked. Thus, a lifelong PJ fan.

    Long story short, 13 in '92.
