For instance, the Ten album was viewed as the high point of alternative rock. By the time Vitalogy was released, the punk sound became much more dominant whilst No Code featured garage rock. The Yield album was rock and roll, which was followed by the art rock of Binaural after which the folk rock sound of Riot Act. The self-tiled Pearl Jam was a return for the band's choice rock roots although the most recent album, Backspacer, has pop and New Wave elements.

Plus, there is certainly also the fact that fans, called Jamily, have an almost cult-like adoration for your band and its music.
But their legacy does not only extend for the music marketplace. Eddie Vedder has used and continues to make use of the band's reputation to espouse social and political causes like pro-choice, setting and wildlife protection, awareness of Chrohn's disease, voter registration and participation, and charities.
Pearl Jam continues to demolish the image that rock stars are wasted folks in search of fame and fortune, often with no regard to their surroundings. And with music worthy to jam to by the generations, we may possibly have just observed for ourselves the band to worship in the altar of music.
