This song about personal freedom was the first single released on Riot Act. And though he doesnвЂ™t sing on the song, thatвЂ™s Neil Young on lead guitar, blending in beautifully with the band. Vedder wasnвЂ™t around much for the sessions, but he lent vocals to вЂњI Got Id,вЂќ which is also known as вЂњI Got Shit.вЂќ Vedder explained before an вЂ™06 live performance of the song in Toronto that the chorus melody of вЂњI Got IdвЂќ was actually subconsciously inspired by YoungвЂ™s вЂњCinnamon GirlвЂќ verse melody, though he didnвЂ™t realize it out until years after the song was recorded. Pearl Jam collaborated with the legendary Neil Young on his album Mirror Ball, and the Merkin Ball EP was made up of leftovers from that project. Nevertheless, weвЂ™ve enjoyed every moment of putting this together, and are happy to present it to you as the summer starts. ItвЂ™s a list weвЂ™ve been building since before they were announced as headliners with Hova, and a daunting task we have not taken lightly.

To gear up for Made In America and celebrate Pearl JamвЂ™s catalog, weвЂ™ve compiled a collection of their 50 Best Songs. They came from a small scene and ended up representing a whole genre. In a lot of ways, Pearl Jam is a lot like Jay-Z. ItвЂ™s a long way from the Seattle grunge scene they started in, and a testament to how widespread their reach has become. This September, Pearl Jam will headline the first ever Made In America festival in Philadelphia, along with its curator, Jay-Z.

They have inspired us, given us hope, made us think, and grown older with us, and while other bands have come and gone, they have always managed to hold on to their spot. Whether heвЂ™s singing about social or political issues, love, or death, Vedder and his Pearl Jam band of brothers- including founding members Stone Gossard, Mike McCready, and Jeff Ament- have provided the soundtrack to our lives.
