The likelihood of the music just getting better is equal to the likelihood of it getting worse. I for one, am grateful that we have a post-Dave A Pearl Jam. Four of my top 5 PJ albums don't have him drumming on them. And my all time favorite PJ song would not have happened at all without Jack Irons.

So though you are correct that it's possible, I for one, will take actual reality over the imagined Dave-A-verse.

Chances are Dave would have just been grudgingly dragged along the path Eddie was set on following anyway. I don't think his control over the band's creative direction was as all-influencing as MikeJD suggests.
