It was Pearl Jam against the world when they were working on their follow up album to Ten that sold more copies that even Nirvana Nevermind in the early 90s. But as Eddie Vedder and co prepared for VS. their sophomore offering, they were tired of fame. They had planned on ten doing so well and they refused to do promotion of the album in terms of music videos etc… The album still hit #1. The signature song from the record called Daughter would actually start out with a different name and lyrics but Eddie Vedder really sunk his teeth into its message about child abuse and learning disabilities.. which had never been covered in a massive single before. Up next the story fo a 90s masterpiece.

So, it’s time for another edition of #1 in Our Hearts. This show honors songs that were so unbelievably great, they absolutely should've been #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart. But for whatever reason, be it radio play, lack of marketing, label support or just sheer stupidity, the song came up short. On previous episodes we have covered Under the Bridge by Red Hot Chili Peppers, Buddy Holly by Weezer, Zombie by The Cranberries.
Today we are covering one of Pearl Jam’s signature song...their sophomore record Vs. Daughter
By 1993, Pearl Jam was arguably the biggest band on the planet. Riding the cultural tsunami of the media-labeled grunge movement, their debut album Ten had been a breakthrough smash. One that would become a defining landmark of Generation X ever after. Just months after Ten’s release in August 1991, the floodgates of Seattle rock were blown open by Nirvana’s album Nevermind, which reached #1 on the Billboard 200 Album chart. Following in their wake, Pearl Jam’s debut landed on the album charts on January 4, 1992. And by the second half of 92 Pearl Jam had become a key player in the cultural and musical shift that was taking place.
Almost a year after its release, Ten reached #8 on the Billboard 200 album chart and would go on to peak at #2 for four weeks. It would spend a total of 264 weeks on the Billboard charts. By February 1993, US sales of Ten surpassed Nirvana’s Nevermind and continued to climb, on its way to selling 13 million copies in America the biggest album of the genre. . Although to the world at large, Pearl Jam’s rise to the top may have seemed like a triumph, from the band’s perspective it was almost tragic. Poster-boys for the disenfranchised, Eddie Vedder, and his Seattle counterpart Kurt Cobain were labeled as voices of a generation. But their music was never meant to achieve that end.
