Older than Eddie in ’91
I thought Eddie Vedder was born in 1963. That would mean that I was coming right upon the day where I would be the same age as he when Pearl Jam’s debut album Ten was released. Turns out, I misremembered. He was born in 1964. That means I reached this age last year. In fact, I’m older than all the artists on Ten were when it was released. So, everyone who knows me, realize that all that accomplishment on Ten was by people younger than me. Impressive.
If that’s not humbling enough, think about the fact that Robert Plant was just twenty years old when Led Zeppelin’s first album was released.
(Look at those low used prices below! No, I don’t get a kickback when you buy used merch from Amazon. Just, seriously, if you don’t own the CDs, shell out the seven dollars it would cost to pick them both up.)

Oh, wait. Turns out I do get a kickback on Amazon used merch. I didn’t know that until I went looking for why they didn’t offer one.
In any case, my recommendation still stands. Go to Amazon or Half directly and order without my links if you’d like. Just pick up the albums.
