Corduroy

A deep cut turned fan favorite from Pearl Jam’s 1994 album Vitalogy, “Corduroy” thrums with raw intensity. Though never released as a single, its honest lyrics—widely interpreted as Eddie Vedder’s critique of fame and consumerism—resonated with the band’s devoted audience. Powered by a driving riff and passionate vocals, “Corduroy” became a staple of Pearl Jam’s live sets. It showcases the band’s uncompromising spirit and remains a quintessential ’90s anthem for those who seek authenticity over selling out.
