Pearl Jam was definitely grunge. It was a loosely defined genre, with elements of metal, punk, alternative and classic rock. But all the original bands were from Seattle or at least Pacific NW...and carried some of the dark, "no sunshine for the last 3 weeks" from that area into their music. Pearl Jam had a nice unplugged performance as well.Unplugged started in '89, Nirvana wasn't the first.
Or did you mean first grunge act? Becauae if Pearl Jam is considered grunge, they did it in '92. I personally consider Pearl Jam just regular ol' alternative and not really grunge.
