Happy 55th birthday today to Stone Gossard of Pearl Jam who was born on 7/20/66. There would be no Pearl Jam if it wasn’t for Gossard who spearheaded the formation of the band with bassist Jeff Ament following the end Mother Love Bone. Gossard’s rhythmic tone sets the melodic foundation for most of Pearl Jam’s material and adds a keen sense of groove. Along with Mike McCready, Pearl Jam is arguably one of the most versatile and communicative two-guitar bands in the rock realm… In honor of Stone’s 55th lets check out the Pearl Jam deep cut “Hard To Imagine” from 1994…
