“Rats” by Pearl Jam
From the album Vs. (1993)
“Rats” by Pearl Jam appears on 1 radio countdown from 1 station in 2005. It was first released in 1993 on the album Vs.. Its best result is #67 on The End Top 77 Pearl Jam Songs of All-Time (September 2005).
"Rats" turns up on Vs., Pearl Jam's second album, from 1993: the first record they made with producer Brendan O'Brien and the first with Dave Abbruzzese on drums. Eddie Vedder wrote the lyrics, and the music credit is split five ways, between Vedder, Abbruzzese, Jeff Ament, Stone Gossard and Mike McCready. O'Brien produced it with the band, Nick DiDia recorded it and shared assistant production duties with Adam Kasper, and Kevin Scott assisted on the recording.
It sits on an album the band roughed up on purpose, rawer and more abrasive than the record before it, and one they refused to sell the usual way: Pearl Jam cut back on promotion for Vs. and wouldn't make a video for any of its singles.
