Pearl Jam

Pearl Jam is a Seattle-based rock band, who are considered to be one of the most popular and influential artists of the 1990s. They, along with Nirvana, Soundgarden, and Alice in Chains, helped popularize the grunge movement of the early 90's. Moreover, they are also the only grunge band that has remained active since the atrophy of their aforementioned contemporaries, despite the band's abandonment of their early sound to favour an ever evolving one that defies categorization.

Hidden tracks

There are a total of four hidden tracks in the Pearl Jam catalog. The first, "Hummus" was released on Yield, starting at 5:03 minutes into the 13th track "All Those Yesterdays". Binaural also has a little hidden sound bit (although not a song per se), 6:49 minutes also into track 13 "Parting Ways". The last track on the second disc of Lost Dogs, "Bee Girl" has "4/20/02" written by Vedder about the death of Alice in Chains lead singer Layne Staley who died on 2002-04-20.
