This week we dive into Ten by Pearl Jam - an album packed with raw emotion, iconic riffs, and early ‘90s angst. For one of us, this is more than just a debut album - it’s a time capsule from high school and college. For the other, it’s an encounter with grunge without the haze of nostalgia. Do the tracks still hold up? Are there disagreements? Is Riley wrong? Yes, Yes and Yes. Join us as we explore the album that helped define a decade. Plus, our “Song of the Week” picks return to keep your playlist fresh.
