It is certainly diverse, from Barrett’s mercurial early-’70s album The Madcap Laughs, through Waters’ ever-acerbic solo concepts, to Gilmour’s mainstream post-Millennium releases such as Rattle That Lock. THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “Although multi-million selling albums such as Dark Side Of The Moon, Wish You Were Here and The Wall are justifiably at the forefront of the Pink Floyd canon, the solo work of all five members - Syd Barrett, David Gilmour, Nick Mason, Roger Waters and Rick Wright - is a largely undocumented and fascinating aspect of the band’s ongoing history. By going through their entire discography track-by-track, covering their origins in the Seattle scene, their musical development, and how the pop culture context has changed around them, this book will argue that Pearl Jam are not only one the greatest bands of their generation, but one of the greatest bands of all time.” Yet for many they remain an artefact of the Nineties, the epitome of the angsty Gen X stereotype. And through it all they keep releasing amazing music. They fight for social justice causes even when that costs them in other areas. While maintaining a huge network of fans, they have also collaborated with rock legends and helped boost the profiles of new artists. They tour constantly and are renowned for the quality of their live shows. Just as those artists did, Pearl Jam built an intense cult following who feel personally connected to the band. To date they have sold over 30 million albums worldwide, as many as iconic such artists as The Doors, Tom Petty and Rush. They introduced themselves with one of the biggest-selling and most iconic albums of the decade, and their followup albums broke sales records worldwide.
THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “ Pearl Jam are the last men standing from great alternative rock explosion of the ’90s. Just everything about the music of Pearl Jam, Joe Jackson, Phil Collins, Roxy Music and the members of Pink Floyd.
