Consequence Podcast Network and Sony’s The Opus podcast is getting back into its even flow as we dive deep into the oceans of legacy surrounding Pearl Jam’s iconic debut, Ten.
Premiering on August 12th, Season 16 of The Opus will see host Jill Hopkins celebrating the 30th anniversary of the landmark alternative rock release. The record not only established the new sounds coming out of Seattle as a mainstream force, it launched the career of one of the biggest bands in the world.
Pearl Jam were the result of the unlikeliest of circumstances, revolving around the death of Mother Love Bone singer Andrew Wood, the influence of Red Hot Chili Peppers’ drummer Jack Irons, and Chris Cornell’s lack of ego. What was birthed out of a tribute album would go on to become one of the most influential American rock acts in history, known for their revolutionary sonic creations, distinctive visual language, and epic live shows.

“I’ve been looking forward to diving into my absolute favorite album of all time with some of the people who made it happen, and some others who love it as much as I do,” says Hopkins. “Ten was a huge part of my musical awakening, and it still sounds as dynamic today as the first time I plunked down money for it thirty years ago.”
