See this needle
A-see my hand
Drop, drop, dropping it down
Oh so gently
Well here it comes
I touch the plane
Turn me up
Won't turn you away

Spin, spin
Spin the black circle
Spin, spin
Spin the black, spin the black
Spin, spin
Spin the black circle
Spin, spin
Uhhhh

Pull it out
A-paper sleeve
Oh my joy
Only you deserve conceit
I'm so big
A-my whole world
I'd rather you
Rather you than her

Spin, spin
Spin the black circle
Spin, spin
Spin the black, spin the black
Spin, spin
Spin the black circle
Spin, spin
Uhhhh
Oh

You're so warm
Oh, the ritual
When I lay down
Your crooked arm

Spin, spin
Spin the black circle
Spin, spin
Spin the black, spin the black
Spin, spin
Spin the black circle
Spin the black, spin the black, spin the black, spin the black, spin the black
Spin the black circle
Spin the black circle
Spin the black circle
Spin the black circle
Spin, spin
Spin, spin
Spin, spin
Spin, spin
Spin, spin
Spin, spin
Ohh

Founded in 1990 in Seattle, Pearl Jam is one of the most successful bands out of the grunge movement, if not of the whole alternative rock scene from the early 90s. The group started with Stone Gossard (guitar) and Jeff Ament (bass), veterans of the proto-grunge scene, recording a demo along with local guitarist Mike McCready. Once the tape passed along, it attracted a San Diego-based singer, Eddie Vedder. Along with drummer Dave Krusen, they signed with Epic Records and released Ten in 1991, which by the following year was becoming one of the most successful debut albums ever.

Growing uncomfortable with success, the following albums went for a more anguished and experimental sound, and the band’s notorious activism had its most prominent case once they boycotted Ticketmaster, accusing them of price-gouging fans. In the meantime, various drummers passed through the band, with percussion only settling once Soundgarden’s Matt Cameron joined them in the tour for 1998’s Yield.

With 10 studio albums and various live recordings (including “Official Bootlegs” of basically every concert the band performed since 2000), Pearl Jam has sold nearly 32 million records in the U.S. and an estimated 60 million worldwide.
