this is a darkly twisted an fantastic post if made by anyone other than stip

I don't doubt they deserve to be inducted. I just wish it didn't happen for years.

I get enough shit about loving this band and here they are, nominating themselves as fossils for a rock museum.

that's so selfish

I've bought each member of this band a car at this stage. I'm allowed a little call back.

Cornell could be a good choice for the induction...Casablancas too...

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?!

and has been the drummer for over half their output

Exactly.

Honestly, I'd be fine with Matt being the only drummer inducted with the band. I certainly don't give a shit about Dave A.

You're joking but you're not entirely wrong.

I love the guy but Matt Cameron is essentially a footnote in Pearl Jam's career.

All of their important works feature Krusen, Abbruzzese or Irons.

I think that guy's kind of a chode, actually.

RR HOF picks drummer on first record and current drummer, since they tend to spontaneously combust.

Actually, every PJ drummer is a footnote.

If Pearl Jam had simply faded away once Jack left the band, I don't think their induction would seem so inevitable -- they'd still be a big '90's rock band who had a run of a few good albums, but that describes a handful of bands who are eligible and haven't been nominated. Despite the fact that his name isn't on as many major records as the other guys, Matt's role in PJ's story shouldn't be diminished -- their ultimate legacy is as dependent on their reputation as a live juggernaut as it is on their records (perhaps more so), and he's been behind the kit for virtually all of that (their reputation was virtually the opposite of that prior to him joining the band). Leaving him out would be like the Dead leaving Brent Mydland out -- yeah, he wasn't on many of their better recordings**, but he was a definitive part of the experience for a lot of people who followed the band, especially at a time when the environment surrounding the band was more about the fan/event experience than whatever record they were promoting at the time.

**This is a generalization, of course -- personally I like at least two Matt records better than anything either Dave played on.

KD gets it.

I guess that's true to some degree but Abbruzzese is by a large margin the closest thing to being the iconic Pearl Jam drummer in the public imagination.
