• 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 the Real Monsters.
