Check out Pearl Jam on Freegal
Growing up in the 1990s, there were a lot of singers/bands that I liked, and still do. For me, Pearl Jam eclipses them all. After nearly 30 years, I enjoy their music now as much as ever. It was a huge thrill for me when I got to see them live at Wrigley Field in Chicago a few years ago.
