[Tj]

wow! Ya cropduster is at least tied with Evacuation.
As for for Mike I had to resist just picking Yield as a whole, because every Mike moment on that record is magic. Inside Job is a great bit of lyric and music. It suffers in having Ed sing it. I love Ed's vocals, but not on this song. This would be a great Radio Head song.

[Angus]

I don't think you and I agree on Inside Job. A Radiohead-song? Wow.

[stip]

that's an interesting question.

Stone: Alive Riff
Mike: Alive solo
Ed:
Jeff:
Various drummers:

I'll have to think on the other three.

[Tj]

It is more about York's voice or vocal style than Radio Head as a band.

[warehouse]

ed: corduroy vocals
stone: black's music and hook
mike: red mosquito or gtf
jeff: letting ed sing nais, or the rats bass line
matt: backing vocals on s/t
jack: in my tree
dave a:go intro

[WtOB?]

What are you guys talking about ???
Dave A never existed.

[Blenheim Augustine]

ed: "In my...REARVIEWMIRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR"
stone: Daughter riff
jeff: Nothingman music
matt: You Are riff
dave: Go riff
jack: In My Tree drums
mike: Given to Fly music

[verb_to_trust]

Jeff's is Nothingman. Without a doubt. Though historically you should probably say Jeremy.

jeff: Nothingman music
matt: You Are riff
dave: Go riff
jack: In My Tree drums
mike: Given to Fly music

I wish we could hear this song live like it is on the album. I'm on my third listen and I've never realized how amazing his drumming is on this song. Drums through the first chorus are about all I've ever really paid attention to until today. It's weird how you can hear a song literally hundreds of time and then one day hear it in a completely different way.

[surfndestroy]

Stone: All or None or Alive riff
Ed: Black
Jeff: Low light or Nothingman
Dave A: Hard To Imagine
Mike: Alive solo and Yield
Matt: 2 or 3 songs a night live but face it, he's horribly underused in Pearl Jam
Jack: Yield

[mastaflatch]

before that thread appeared, i thought about making one titled "each member's creative peak". now i wonder if it wouldn't be redundant even if they're slightly different subjects...

[EJ]

Jeff's most important was definitely Jeremy.

However, my favorite contribution of his is for Tremor Christ.

[joostone]

ed: the vocals on 'immortality'
stone: the 'Do the Evolution' riffs
mike: the 'Alive' solo
jeff: the fretless bass on 'evenflow' (bring back the fretless jeff!!)
matt: the drum intro to 'grievance'.

dave k: master/slave
dave a: the drums on 'Not For You'
jack: the drums on 'In My Tree'

boom: the keys on 'Love Boat Captain'
brendan: the guitars on 'cremmie', or all the keys on 'mirrorball', the arrangements on 'just breathe', the bass on 'I got ID' .

jimmy shoaf: the drums on 'satans bed'...

[Kevin Davis]

What are you guys talking about ???
Dave A never existed.

When I was 11 or 12 and first getting into Pearl Jam I just assumed that Dave K. and Dave A. were the same person, that they just accidentally spelled his name wrong on one of the albums or something.
