Pearl Jam-Once

[LuciidDreaming]

Why is Pearl Jam so fucking good?

[SaintTemplar13]

GOD TIER!!!

[blackcrow6667]

This song is great, one of their best, strangely enough, their first.

[tanax1973]

This is THE album.

[pttn975]

Great album, ten songs that are all good and rock.

[mandle69]

90s music is the best. end of story

[MrBalarinas]

THANK YOU SEATTLE.

[APittsburghOriginal]

Listened to this before being demonically possessed. Now I cannot control myself when it comes to this spellbinding song.

[ituelectronico]

...a la mierda... alguién habla mi idioma...?

[STAREDEF]

@ituelectronico yo

[klapp08]

Fun fact: They named the band Pearl Jam because so many people claimed to have orgasms when they heard their music that they decided to name the music itself after the ejaculate--thus, the "Pearl Jam"..... Lol

[xristarac0s]

You Think I Got My Eyes Closed But I'm Looking At You All The Fuckin Time

[SenecioKlee]

Qué maravilla de tema.

[wacholoco100]

[ALEXisSPANISH]

First song, first album.

Goddamn...

[robhartjr1993]

I'm not gonna say todays music sucks, because most of it really doesnt. But I will say that the 90s was "Ten" times better. (see what I did there? heheheh.)

[robhartjr1993]

So damn chill.  You dont have to be high to see this, this song gets you high...and hyped.

[ccm67gd]

When Pearl Jam ruled the world! And they still do.

[MrHanus92]

this guitar riff is fucking sick!!

[tyesha333]

[chileno561]

[oneskinnydude19]

50s rock n roll, 60s psychedelic, 70s hard rock, 80s heavy metal, and 90s grunge, i like all generations of rock.

[kristaxxnicole]

Nothing, absolutely nothing comes close to awesomeness of Pearl Jam. Love you Eddie!

[maxmatt4]

This is one of the most liberating songs i've ever heard.

[Vibeland]

how many memories come to my head listening to this......

[cjgone2]

This album rocks! Just bought it alongside Dirt by Alice in Chains and Superunknown by Soundgarden. I'm going to get Vs. sometime soon. :D

[angel20joy]

[jason80127]

ONCE UPON I SHOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD

[TheMarcelink]

[fergie123able]

[luisaroxxx]

1:45 OH GOD. Makes me have an orgasm. No kidding. lol

[MsAryll]

@luisaroxxx

Does things to me :D

[Megadeth1129]

@luisaroxxx God makes you have an orgasm? Lol. I just had to say it lol.

[luisaroxxx]

@Megadeth1129 HAHAHAHAHAH! Oh, I see what you did here lol

[Jessicaa52x]

@luisaroxxx oh my god I thought I was the only one that heard that mini orgasm moment in this song xD

[luisaroxxx]

@Jessicaa52x Hahaha no, you're not the only one! I can hear it, and gosh... lol

[BTRFitness]

American culture is so processed... food, media, movies, and MUSIC! This is truly great music yet kids are stuck listening to the Little Wayne, Wiz Kalifa, Rihanna bullshit they hear on the radio. I feel like the good music is hidden along with the good movies. Just because it's on the radio or there are numerous explosions with hot chicks and killing doesn't mean the movie is good. I feel like we should develop a new American motto "ANALYZE" don't just sit and enjoy, push your mental capacity

[opp861]

@BTRFitness what? Pearl Jam Was a hit with teenagers back in the 90s they had half a hand on grunge music along with nirvana they won awards big album sells and everything just because they dont like pearl jam does not mean they are all processed Kurt Cobain didn't like pearl Jam's music and he made great music and do play this on the radio you just have to find a rock station those other people you listed come on pop stations.

[Gamespider10567]

@BTRFitness i think we should just listen to pearl jam and not go political right now and american popular culture is processed just like the rest of the world there are plenty of pop stars in europe, australia, and canada

[Larry37M]

@BTRFitness you tell it like it is. This shit is real unlike all this pre-produced mass made r&b and teen pop that is polluting the minds of our youth. Kids are to stupid today to know that they are being duped and listen to shit.

[RamTerritory]

@BTRFitness And kids today that like rap/hip hop consider everyone that listens to rock emo.

[BTRFitness]

@RamTerritory Which is a shame considering I also listen to hip hop. More classic though like Wu Tang Clan and such. I just think people should expand on their horizon. The internet is a limitless form of education and knowledge.... and of course old school books are fantastic too.

[CBFHVP]

@BTRFitness America brought the best and worst things in the modern world.

[RAWRxItzReggie]

@BTRFitness Im a kid.. luckily I heard Jeremy on the radio and it got me interested... Here I am now with a GIGANTIC poster of eddie vedder on my wall, the ten poster, and so much more. Thank God for letting me hear that song

[BTRFitness]

@RAWRxItzReggie Good to hear dude. If you want to hear a really good band that deserves more attention check out Pinback.

[RAWRxItzReggie]

@BTRFitness Im not a dude. o.o Im a dudette xD and Ill do that.

[BTRFitness]

@RAWRxItzReggie ROCK ON DUDETTE!!!!! Tell me what you think about the band.

[studas2011]

@BTRFitness Cultural engineers. READ! Sorry man, I know you're intelligent.

[BTRFitness]

@studas2011 Yes, READ! haha. I enjoy my fair share. It is a truly infinite form of art... then again all art is infinite. Does this mean our minds are infinite? hmmm.

[studas2011]

@BTRFitness Infinity does not exist! Do what we do man

[BTRFitness]

@studas2011 Hmmm, it's all a theory really. Theories aren't necessarily wrong. And if there is no such thing as an infinite source then why is a circle a shape?

[studas2011]

@BTRFitness Mate, you're speaking Human, go above!

[BTRFitness]

@studas2011 Are you referring to a deity?

[jgutzki]

@BTRFitness Sums it all up, well said.

[hunterboy700]

@BTRFitness Im 16 and i listen to almost anything except the radio..

[gangsterrrlove]

@BTRFitness Exactly, and all the rich corporations make money off of it and will do anything to make more money. They even pay off the government and get there way. It's just brainwashing the youth. It's sad but true. Even the news is full of shit.

[BTRFitness]

@gangsterrrlove It really depends on what news outlet though. Like NPR is definitely a credible news source considering they use donations instead of sponsors.

[MrBighinzoli]

@BTRFitness, im 14 years old and i only like great music, like pearl jam, and i totally agree with you that kid like me are stuck with trash music. if i could have one and only wish i would ask that this kind of trash and disgusting music had never existed, so this world we are living would be more creative and magic, and less disturbing and repulsing.

[gregkondrak]

@BTRFitness Why does everyone now a days just assume kids are retarded just because of whats played on the radio? When was the last time you noticed a young girl or boy just sitting back and listening to a radio? Most kids just play a variety of music via the internet, lots of it independent mixes and stuff. I'm 13 and I have not one friend or peer who's genuinely impressed by what's played on the radio. Most of them scoff at it or get annoyed because of how much they're played.

[BTRFitness]

@gregkondrak Well what I have observed from kids my age (18) are people who enjoy mainstreams. Do a little Facebook creeping sometime and you will find the majority of people have such artists as lil wayne, wiz khalifa, and drake as their favorite artists. These three artists will have no historical relevance in a decade nor will kids enjoy the music (vaguely speeaking).

[djforte1]

@BTRFitness wha wha wha, you sound like my mom, when I listened to hendrix!

[BTRFitness]

@djforte1 Hendrix is a great artist though so I don't see how that applies.

[slasherguitarmaster]

thank god i bought this album :D

[MrYaler]

1 word: Great

[jestio71]

Rob, I love you bro, I know you are listening to this song in a better place...

[braindrain52389]

@jestio71 Rob i love you too. If you loved pearl jam, i love you.

[Darrinth1979]

I always wonder why people go to a song (especially this one) and vote dislike. Why did you even search for the song in the first place?

[MagnumBullets47]

This song is fucking cool ! Man, i really miss the 90s. : (

[SavoPaddy]

Curiously underated song considering it's the first song on Ten! Testament to the fact there are just so many great PJ songs

[RetroGamerr1991]

Sounds like Phil Collins in the beginning.

[grungepolitics]

@RetroGamerr1991 I thought the same thing, hah.

[nikosgriego5]

@RetroGamerr1991 Completely true!

[Resalicious13]

Whatever if you dont feel this song in some way some shape some form your not feeling a god damn thing.

[bfudge85]

acutally once is the first song in the album 10 so it is on side A of the cassette.

[bfudge85]

@UB5GUY i read your discription i think this was still on side A. i am gonna go dig this out of the closet and see if your right. then i will comment back. Also this sound is a higher deff then what is on the tape. but we both agree this song rocks.

[BeerisAwesome2]

30 people dont know shit all about music and PJ. Fuck Heads.

[traffke]

@themusicmatterz i believe that is the definition of classic (:

[itsnvrovritiswhtitis]

jose listen to little wayne hes as sorry as you

[itsnvrovritiswhtitis]

mr josealago the pot calling the kettle black see the irony in that

[halo9449]

@themusicmatterz I think part of what made Ten so great was that it was a huge break from the steadily declining music of the late 1980s. Notice how, towards the end of the '80s, most bands began to just sound the same, all drifting towards one generic sound for each genre (sort of like today)? This brought back the vitality felt in the music of the Vietnam Era and the decade or so after that.

[halo9449]

@halo9449 And it did that by bringing the Seattle underground music scene of the late '80s into the public spotlight*

[WyldeStarr]

i was in highschool at this time. YES! FUCK U ALL!

[StonedSquirrel99]

I was born in 1996 making me 15 years old and i even say that my generation sucks compared to what the 90`s had to offer. Yeah FUCK AUTOTUNE!

[DevShell]

@StonedSquirrel99 im 3 years older than you but I agree!!

[braddyboy82]

A fucking hardcore awesome rock and roll song about killing hookers!! Yes!! Where has rock and roll gone? What has happened to badass rock music? Now it's super drop tuned rednecks complaining about how their girlfriends are hos.

[halo9449]

@braddyboy82 Or giving a pro-war message while all of them are such big pussies they would never enlist themselves. For example, Five Finger Death Punch. "War Is The Answer" huh? Why aren't any of you in the Military, then, if you feel that way?

Of course, this is on a semi-related note to my hatred for them from when they added that overused guitar 'gallop' and the singer lent his douche-like vocal style to Bad Company's classic.

[renegaderadiofm]

@braddyboy82 Killing hookers is the best!!I love to crank up PJ on my IPod and go out killin' hookers every saturday night

[mrmikespence1964]

HONKY!!!!!!!PEARL JAM! YUCK!!!!!!!

[hurricanepanthers54]

Once! Upon a time! WALLSTREET could control ITSELF!

[slimjim3001]

@hurricanepanthers54  LOL

[Mr90sdude]

Whenever I listen to albums like these, it takes me to a different world where there is no such thing as autotuned, watery, bubble gum, glammy noise people today call "music." This is music damnit and I speak from the bottom of my heart! Pearl Jam will always be one of my favorite bands from the 90's. I grew up listening to their music. What a great decade!

[piercehone1]

@Mr90sdude hell ya dude the ninetys were the shit. even tho i was born 91, i still love the shit out of ,pearl jam, nirvana, old alice in chains, blind melon with shanon hoon. but my all time favorite that ruled the 1990s is tool. i love that dam band , sorry just had to share. but i love everything u said mr90s dude .

[StonedSquirrel99]

@piercehone1 dude tool is my favorite band of all time!!!

[OpsoclonusMyoclonus]

@piercehone1 man the 90's was the time for music, that was the revolution right there. and ya tool was kick-ass back then and they still are now...

[Neurotripsicks]

I bought this when it came out and still to this day is one of my favorites, not only because it's what I grew up to or what was "taught" to me, the album cover says it all. Unity, and the government is trying to separate us.We need to unite and Never ever let ANYONE tell you otherwise! THINK FOR YOURSELF! QUESTION AUTHORITY!

[MrJosealago]

CONSERVATIVES=FAGS,so is religion

[AidanMusik]

@MrJosealago

you're probably too stupid to see the irony in that sentence

[Kjameson75]

@AidanMusik so many dumb people on youtube

[abus777]

@AidanMusik

I dont know what your talking about or to who BUT I love your answer...

[kgkidz4life]

@MrJosealago yeah, you sure did tell them. I bet conservatives are now turning liberal just because of you. great job!

[TheGraves9]

@MrJosealago the fuck does politics or religion have to do with this song?

[MrJosealago]

CONSERVATIVES=FAGS,

[nandosarkis]

i could control myself .. from brazil !

[jonjuan27]

I think they need to move the like and dislike button father apart so people don't accidently hit dislike.

[pakmanmanc]

been listening to pearl jam for almost 20 years, how the fuck do they sound better each time?

[dragondive89]

my favorite pj track! so who else is gonna see pj20?

[SuperBrandon46]

i only like from the 00:42 and beyond

[nivguyzuk]

i feel badass when i listen to this

[moviebuff383]

...good band..too bad Eddie Vedder teamed up with shallow democrat Sean Penn and now whines about everything.. lol... he's a commie

[kristophize]

@moviebuff383 yeah! how dares he fight for a better future where progress is not being slowed down by conservative politicians -.- DAMN HIM

[newbslice]

@kristophize Democrat's suck cock.

[MwambaHakunaMajuto]

Mamasan...

[Benoka]

@jhatt25

That doesn't make any sense, dipshit.

[bladerunner951]

This is how you open an album!

[Benoka]

Thumbs up if you realize this is the only album that seems to get any recognition.

[jhatt25]

@Benoka thumbs down cause if people want shit they get what they deserve

[blck145]

unable to pee :D

[AlexanderRummel]

The entire album is a genius and timeless masterpiece! I played it up and down every day ... once in my car :)

[xXAlphaGazelleXx]

Ten was their best album, for sure.

[henceseventytwo]

the hence 72 blog lives only because of this song

[sanyopro700]

no better track for a first song on a debut cd.

[tmcda2nd]

glad i was born in '91 so i could remember this music!

[crossieh]

@tmcda2nd Glad I was born in '84

[JBWarren95]

28 dislikes out of a million, must be pissed off girlfriends who like pop

[gamerlass]

@JBWarren95

Or boyfriends! Should I be worried....?

[MrWet207]

Sorry, just wiping the pearl jam off my keyboard

[Othidist]

i think the real purpose of the dislike button was to dislike videos with poor video or audio quality or something like that... some people just use it to troll..

i could be wrong though...............

[lsd752000]

fucking tune

[okrabay]

the pink calls out to the fags who like grunge and was a signal that its safe to go out with blue hair and commit suicide.

this killed of metal using sly marketing tactics under the guise of alternative music.

[mohawkmanny97]

@okrabay fuck you

[NoCommentChick]

@okrabay And how did metal get popular in the 80s? Sly marketing tactics? You don't say!

[NoCommentChick]

btw Okra fucking rules, you should eat some and kill yourself.

[metallica1123456]

@okrabay interesting... Associating a color with being gay. Good theory./ But guess what,. These guys have way more meaning than any music you could find good. And yeah Kurt Cobain killed himself BIG FUCKING DEAL. Doesnt mean anyone who likes grunge is suicidal. And yes sly marketing tactics. Its not like these guys just went out there, played their fucking hearts out and were respected for it. Go die you waste of skin

[eightwasntenuff]

@okrabay What? Can you be more specific please.

[stuvo1977]

This song rulz!!!!! `nuff said

[mommywhereisdaddy]

i'll never understand those guyz who hit the dislike button when it comes to music. you like it or you do not like it. if you do not like it, it's just fine. i don't care. but if you feel the need to spend some afford on clicking the dislike button, you confirm stupidity like 28 people here did. youtube should put a "i-am-a-pathetic-bored-ass-los­er-and-can't-help-clicking-thi­s" button.

[HaistaPaska92]

@mommywhereisdaddy You know, people might stumble upon these videos by accident. Others might be just looking for new bands and those that they dislike do not match their tastes

[pom052]

Listen to Triple J Australia you'll find a lot of good new music on there, they play a lot of crap to but at least its not commercial. There online

[jonjuan27]

TU if you think this the best album of all time.

[rayray66]

once, twice, three times a lady

[angelicsolace]

Love this!

[codytorkelson32]

fuck yes.

[Nirvana32058]

god damn this is what real music is all about!

[bonkers73]

27 people are listening to GAGA

[HaistaPaska92]

People need to stop complaining, amazing music is still being made today, you just have to dig a little deeper in order to find it. And you know what, I prefer it that way

[franklymydear09]

this mak

es todays music really suck ya know lol

[tarantulady]

The first suggestion I get on the right is a Miley Cyrus song.

What. The. Fuck.

[servetheservants98]

@tarantulady i did too and i was like what the fuck

[trancerock1995]

once upon atime there was a GREAT song like this :)

[Ekyvvsaq]

@XxabsentlifexX The New York concert 2010, Eddies voice sound 18 years younger, and Stone was playing as hard as he did in the old days.

[thenatibone]

dude everryones a hypocrit u like blowjobs?probably u like giving blowjobs no so ur a hypocritizer to lol

[Evan42881]

some of these people, saying "Let's kill miley cyrus" and "beiber can suck a dick". You're all trolls, like it or not. when beiber fans and kesha fans troll on our music pages, we get all teary eyed and start saying racist, homophobic, and sextist insults. We are hypocrites friends. Don't complain, because we're trolling those people.

[pyromaniarules]

when i hear good music like this i think why is this called alternative? oh wait its the alternative to shitty music!

[robertk2007]

this song is so fit for its time that PJ cant even do this song justice live anymore. heard it 3 years ago and not the same....

[illuminatiwatchin]

lets hunt and kill miley cyrus

[MrGerandean]

ONCE UPON A TIME THERE WAS GOOD MUSIC LIKE THIS!

[TheStigsIndianCousin]

@mmunis Aw man you said it. Its a pity I never got to see it live. Would be so, SO awesome.

[IBLISificationist]

I still remember the first time I listened to this album.

if the music had a beginning, it would be this song!

[mustangs85]

agreed they dont rock like this anymore!

[malache666]

@mustangs85 hell, PEARL JAM doesn't even rock like this anymore...

[MrTufflong]

he sounds like a duck towards the end lmmfao!!!

[CASSIANOCAVARESE1]

lindo

[tmrobertson]

one of the all-time great album openers.

[rofljelly135]

Best song on the album.

[6digit]

this is my very very first cd album that i have way back in 1996!
