Accidental Innuendo: No, the band's name wasn't based on semen. They had to replace "Mookie Blaylock". The bassist came with "Pearl", and after a Neil Young show in which every song was a jam...
Archive Panic: If you start seeking the official bootlegs, that is.
Awesome Music: Ten is one of the highest-selling debut albums of all time, up there with Boston's self-titled and Guns N' Roses' Appetite for Destruction, and their live shows are commonly agreed to be this. "Given To Fly" from the Yield album also qualifies.
Covered Up: "Last Kiss" and its B-side "Soldier of Love".
Epic Riff: "Even Flow", "Jeremy" (at least on the bass), "Rearviewmirror", and "Save You".
Face of the Band: Eddie Vedder, to the point where "Weird Al" Yankovic made a song about him.
First Installment Wins: Ten is generally considered to be an iconic album; none of their other albums have matched its popularity.
Funny Moments: During the 96 Olympic Games, they recorded a Power Ballad written by the engineer who mixed No Code, "Olympic Platinum". It's hysterical.

How hard can it be?

How high can I jump?

How high can I throw?

How high can I run

How long can I hold my breath and stay underwater and wave my legs around in perfect unison with my partner who doesn't really understand me and my Olympic dream, my Olympic dream

Nightmare Fuel: The video for "Jeremy" mixed this and Tear Jerker. Also, the Animated Music Video "Do The Evolution", a great illustration of Humans Are Bastards.
