Pearl Jam Writing Credits by Album

[iceagecoming]

Yeah, I think all the guitar parts/arrangements on something like LBC or I'm Open are all Ed, as for the rest of those tracks, they're mostly Ed's with another member chipping in a section (e.g. the bridge to Light Years being from Puzzles and Games, or Stone's bridge for In My Tree, etc...).

I'm not 100% sure on Present Tense - but I think Ed gets the credit for the outro section (the high picking part is definitely his, but I doubt that would wager a writing credit on it's own as it's just decorating the verse progression).

Know what would be cool to accompany this?
A breakdown album by album of who wrote what, track by track.
I've always wondered.
Ed and to a far lesser degree, Stone are the only two whose songs I can identify.

You can find the writing credits breakdown track by track on wikipedia. Some wonderful people have even tracked down the credits for the albums that didn't list individual credits. See, for example, the Vs track listing.

This is really great. Thanks for doing this.

It really is evident how awesome Stone is and how he needs to contribute more complete songs to the band. It's also a shame Irons isn't around any more.
