Pearl Jam

Now and then I remember when
Us Adults were little Kids
And our only worry was
What we get from Santa Claus
When Santa Claus was God
When Santa Claus was God
When Santa was... Santa Claus was...
When Santa Claus was God
Now we're grown and so complex
In a world that can't relax
Even though he was a lie
We all were satisfied
When Santa Claus was God
When Santa Claus was God
When Santa was... When Santa Claus was...
When Santa Claus was God
How I learned from right and wrong
Had to be good for Santa Claus
He made me, stop misbehaving
And once a year if I did my job
I'd be given my favorite toys
So simple, the principles
When Santa was... When Santa Claus was...
Santa Claus was God
Sleep tight oh little ones (x 4)

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.
