It’s a list we’ve been building since before they were announced as headliners with Hova, and a daunting task we have not taken lightly. To gear up for Made In America and celebrate Pearl Jam’s catalog, we’ve compiled a collection of their 50 Best Songs. They came from a small scene and ended up representing a whole genre. In a lot of ways, Pearl Jam is a lot like Jay-Z.

It’s a long way from the Seattle grunge scene they started in, and a testament to how widespread their reach has become.

This September, Pearl Jam will headline the first ever Made In America festival in Philadelphia, along with its curator, Jay-Z. They have inspired us, given us hope, made us think, and grown older with us, and while other bands have come and gone, they have always managed to hold on to their spot. Whether he’s singing about social or political issues, love, or death, Vedder and his Pearl Jam band of brothers- including founding members Stone Gossard, Mike McCready, and Jeff Ament- have provided the soundtrack to our lives.

On the heels of debuting six songs from the group’s 2020 album “Gigaton” last Saturday at the festival in Asbury Park, N.J., Pearl Jam opened Sunday’s show with another new track, “Retrograde,” and also premiered bassist Jeff Ament’s slow-burning “Alright” as part of a 19-song set. But the unusually heavy workload didn’t hinder his performances in the least this weekend at his fifth Ohana festival on the beach in Dana Point, Calif., which found him playing three times with his new solo band (twice in public, once in private) and another with Pearl Jam, who closed the festival on Sunday with just their second show in three years. If you believe the Internet, Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder hadn’t sung live for four consecutive days since September 1992.
