Harmonix and MTV Games today announced that three tracks from alternative rock legends Pearl Jam will be added to the Rock Band Music Store of downloadable content for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system.At the dawn of the '90s, Pearl Jam came together to form one of the most influential bands of the modern era. Beginning with their iconic debut album, "Ten," in 1991 and continuing through to today, the quintet have consistently combined the perfect amalgam of punk aesthetics with anthemic, classic rock sounds, and in the process have created one of the most respected catalogs in rock history.
