30 years ago today (12/24/94), Pearl Jam went to No.1 on the US album chart with ‘Vitalogy’. Their third studio album was first released on vinyl record, followed by a release in other formats two weeks later. Vitalogy was notable for its diverse musical styles, from punk-inspired tracks to experimental cuts like “Bugs” and “Aye Davanita.” It also reflected Eddie Vedder’s growing influence in the band’s creative direction.
