Friday is the 30th anniversary of the release of Pearl Jam's mega debut album, Ten. It's a generationally defining album, and along with Nirvana's Nevermind, one of the top two defining albums of the grunge genre.
I very much recall sleeping over at my friend Jeremy's house about 29 years ago and seeing the video for "Jeremy" at about 5 in the morning on MTV for the first time, thinking Hey, this is pretty funny. I'm at Jeremy's house, and there's a song called "Jeremy" playing. Pretty fucked up video, but still, it's a good day for Jeremys. Or is it Jeremies?. Little did any of us know that we were watching the changing of the guard and what would be one of the most revered rock bands of our generation.
Anywho, the entire Ten album is fantastic, and "Alive" is actually the first single they released. It's probably my favorite song off of Ten, so that's why I'm going to make you watch the video now.
