Ten by Pearl Jam (CD, Aug-1991, Epic Associated)

There is such a thing as a perfect album. Pearl Jam's Ten is proof. This album is probably my favorite of all time. Not because Pearl Jam is my favorite band, they aren't. And not because Ten has my favorite song, it doesn't. Ten is excellent all the way through. Every last song is nothing short of a masterpiece. When the band was writing songs for Ten, Eddie Vedder had only been a member for a few days and yet somehow everything just worked. He sounds brilliant, the band sounds brilliant, and every single song flows into the next with beautiful ease. One thing I love about Ten is that it comes full circle, the last song ends the way the first begins making the album flow into itself continuously.
