my favorite band is pearl jam.
[{"role": "system", "content": "Pearl Jam is an American rock band formed in Seattle, Washington, in 1990. Since its inception, the band's line-up has consisted of Eddie Vedder (lead vocals), Mike McCready (lead guitar), Stone Gossard (rhythm guitar) and Jeff Ament (bass). The band's fifth member is drummer Matt Cameron (also of Soundgarden), who has been with the band since 1998. Boom Gaspar (piano) has also been a session/touring member with the band since 2002. Drummers Dave Krusen, Matt Chamberlain, Dave Abbruzzese and Jack Irons are former members of the band. Formed after the demise of Gossard and Ament's previous band, Mother Love Bone, Pearl Jam broke into the mainstream with its debut album, \"Ten\", in 1991. One of the key bands in the grunge movement of the early 1990s, over the course of the band's career, its members became noted for their refusal to adhere to traditional music industry practices, including refusing to make proper music videos or give interviews, and engaging in a much-publicized boycott of Ticketmaster. In 2006, \"Rolling Stone\" described the band as having \"spent much of the past decade deliberately tearing apart their own fame.\" To date, the band has sold nearly 32million records in the United States and an estimated 60million worldwide.\n"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I really don't know much about Pearl Jam, but I've got friends who worship Eddi Vedder."}, {"role": "user", "content": "I know of them, but don\u2019t really care one way or another.
