In the latest episode of Booked On Rock, we're looking back at the year grunge rock started its reign - 1991. I talked to author Rob Janicke who has just written a fantastic book titled Slacker: 1991, Teen Spirit Angst, and the Generation It Created.
Among the bands who released huge breakthrough albums in 1991 was Pearl Jam. Their debut album Ten was released on August 27th of '91. By late 1992 it had climbed all the way to number two on the Billboard 200. Ten was instrumental in the rise and dominance of alternative rock throughout the decade. By February 2013, it had sold 13 million copies in the US making it Pearl Jam's biggest selling album to date.
Let's see how well you know the songs from the Ten album. Below is a verse from one of the 11 tracks on the album. Think you can guess the track?
