Which I guess he was, in a way.Īnd I listen for the voice inside my head By the time the Singles soundtrack came out in the tumultuous summer of 1992 I know that I’d seen the videos for both “Alive” and “Even Flow” without anything truly registering, and the only reason I got the damn thing was because of the two Westerberg songs anyways - which I figured I’d mine for the next set of mixtapes I was going to start after my other ones were stolen from my car in the Blue parking lot - so Pearl Jam wasn’t even an afterthought.īut fuck all that: just listen to how Stone Gossard and Mike McCready’s guitars come roaring from the beginning, new drummer Dave Dave Abbruzzese riding his snare drum hard as shit and Eddie Vedder leads off with the title like he’s singing about the state of the union. While “Jeremy” was what tipped me over into buying Ten, this barnburner was the first Pearl Jam song I ever loved.Īs part of the Singles soundtrack, which turned me on to not just Pearl Jam, but also Smashing Pumpkins (which took) and Mudhoney (which didn’t) reminded me that the Screaming Trees were pretty awesome and premiered not one but two Paul Westerberg solo songs, “State of Love and Trust” knocked me out from pretty much the beginning.
