Pearl Jam - Ten - 1991 - Ep. 31 Memorabilia Podcast

Our musical time machine on episode number 31 saw us land back in the summer of 1991. Specifically, one month before the release of Nirvana's masterpiece 'Nevermind', another pivotal grunge record was propelled into the world for the first time - the raucous, energetic, powerful, anthemic, yet often moving and highly emotional 'Ten' by Pearl Jam.



Rick and Kate are joined by good friend Simon to discuss the debut album from the Seattle five piece, how the band were formed, the meaning behind some of the tracks, plus there is an attempt to answer the question, which is the better album, 'Ten' or 'Nevermind'?



Our 'Top 3' picks are albums with numbers in the title - not as easy as you'd imagine, but we come up with a credible selection including records from the fantastic Ian Prowse, our regular featured artist Marc Almond, former episode stars Blur, and the wonderful Dolly Parton.
