Pearl Jam have always been an album band more than anything else. While every record that they have put out has had a few memorable singles, the albums as a whole package are much more memorable. This distinction has also been shared by bands like The Who, the Clash, The Replacements, Black Flag, The Stooges, Sonic Youth, and Husker Du. In fact it could almost certainly be assumed that if one was to be given access to the collective record collections of the members of Pearl Jam they would be littered with titles like “Quadrophenia,” “London Calling,” “Tim,” “Damaged,” “Raw Power,” “Daydream Nation,” and “Zen Arcade.” It seems to be no accident that Pearl Jam are carrying on this tradition, or that a listener’s favorite record by the band can speak volumes about their musical tastes in general. Those who are into heavier music may be into “Ten” where as those who like music to be strange and unpredictable might be into “Vitalogy” or “No Code,” where as “VS” would most likely appeal to a person who likes fast and energetic songs…….
