Ten is the debut studio album by American rock band Pearl Jam, released on August 27, 1991, through Epic Records. * * * * * Happy to celebrate #PearlJamAppreciationDay with @thelegendsofmusic and @rhinavoneisenhut * * * * * Though a grunge record, Ten's musical style is influenced by classic rock and combines an "expansive harmonic vocabulary" with an anthemic sound. While it deals with dark subject matter, it has generally been seen as a landmark of the early 1990s alternative rock sound, with Vedder's unusually deep and strong voice alternating between solidity and vibrato against the unrestrained, guitar-heavy, hard rock sound that drew influence from rock bands of the 1970s. * * * * * In 2003, the album was ranked number 209 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time, and again in a 2012 revised list. Readers of Q voted Ten as the 42nd greatest album ever. In 2003, VH1 placed it at number 83 on their list of the 100 greatest albums of rock and roll. In 2006, British Hit Singles & Albums and NME organised a poll of which, 40,000 people worldwide voted for the 100 best albums ever and Ten was placed at number 66 on the list. It was also ranked number 15 in the October 2006 issue of Guitar World on the magazine's list of the 100 greatest guitar albums of all time. In 2007, the album was included at number 11 on the list of the "Definitive 200" albums of all time developed by the National Association of Recording Merchandisers.
