Betterman's credited to Ed, I believe...I think they did that because they've said a lot of those songs post-Ten sprang from jams. I think once they started moving towards using demos as springboards they moved towards individual writing credits.Tuolumne wrote: One thing I wonder about with respect to Dave A: Vitalogy is, I believe, the one and only album where the whole band is listed in the songwriting credit (ie "all songs written by Pearl Jam"). Was that some sort of guilt-ridden olive branch to Dave? Like, he gets to join in the publishing royalties? We all know Ed was the point person on Vitalogy, and in many ways could be the closest thing to being the first Ed solo record. Of all albums, why would that one list "all songs written by Pearl Jam"? And frickin Betterman is credited to the whole band? If my crazy theory is true, maybe that's why they don't feel too guilty about the Dave A firing? Like, Ed gave up some Betterman writing credits to the band (and therefore Dave A) cause he felt guilty about how he handled the whole thing. Am I crazy?
It should be all of them. What is the point of picking and choosing? Do they save money or something by inducting fewer people, apart from the cost of the damned trophies?Strat wrote:I can understand not including Jack Irons but Dave A is pretty absurd. I do hope something happens.
With pearl jam, i agree. But there are some instances where youc ould have like 30 people on stage. I dont know. I dont really care I guess. But since we are having the discussion on who should and shouldnt, i vote Dave K, Dave A, and Matt C.Kevin Davis wrote:It should be all of them. What is the point of picking and choosing?

How does Matt not belong on stage when he has been in the band longer than any of the other drummers, and is the current drummer?!VinylGuy wrote:Dave and Jackie belong in that stage. Thats it.
Cornell could be a good choice for the induction...Casablancas too...
of course Matt and Dave K belong there too, nobody is dissing them, not even the rrhf...they already stablished that they will be there.E.H.

Again, I have to ask.... what?Iholdthepain wrote:I mean... WTF? This shit is honestly why I should quit posting on RM. Unnecessary jabs, which I have typically fought back against. That strategy has only ever backfired, so... Fuck it!
Congrats, Joe! Big vanquishment victory for you
