Grunge was the most controversial musical movement of the nineties, if for many it was a simple label invented by record companies and companies related to the music business such as MTV, for others it was a cursed style that did more harm to rock than good , and for many others the genre that reinvented precisely rock n 'roll that lived uncertain moments at that time.
Among the infinity of bands that emerged in this period related to the grunge movement, four were the pillars on which the foundations of this movement par excellence, the most important of the 90s, were based, Alice in Chain, Pearl Jam, Nirvana and Soundgarden.
While some took punk influences, others did it with alternative rock and many others leaned their sound towards a classic rock.
Pearl Jam belongs to this last derivation and their album "Ten" published in 1991, precisely the same year that Nirvana did the same with their mythical "Nevermind", is considered one of the maximum expressions of the term grunge.
The influences of "Ten" are in bands like Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath or the guitarist Jimi Hendrix, although far from the blues influences of these classics.
An album where a powerful rock overflows but with that grunge prism that is breathed in all their songs.
