And out isn't perfect
My friends,I'll say it too
Stay my case,of which I'm certain
I've lived a life as full
I've travelled each and every highway
Oh,and more,as more gets...
I did it my way

Regrets,I've had a few
But they're too few to mention
I did what I had
It's all through without exemption
I play each charted course
I've travelled each and every by-way
And more,much more than this...
I did it my way...

Well twice,I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
I knew it all,without a doubt
I ate it up and I had to spit it out
I passed it on,and I stood tall
And I did it my way...

Pearl Jam

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.
