I agree, but if it had we would not have gotten Dave A.

Dave A deserves to be in, because this is the Pearl Jam that made Pearl Jam an HOF band

52 year old not like his 32 year old self, who would have thought?

I'm really hoping that Tupac and Pearl Jam both go in on the same night. While I lived on the East Coast during the East-West rap wars, I was pulling for the West...I just really enjoyed that line of rap vs. what Biggie was doing. Tupac's 'Hit 'Em Up' is one of my all time favorite 'fuck you' songs ever. That's rock n roll.

About the drummer, I'd just add Dave A. to the group potentially going in and then I think you're good.

Not all 52 year olds are so insufferable and self-important. Don't defend him.

i love the look on Stone's face

The idea that bands are inducted member by member is really stupid. Here is what it should look like:

1. The band as a whole gets inducted -- no specifying members, etc. "Pearl Jam" gets inducted, for the totality of their achievements and all that comes with it. That's it.

2. All full-time members past and present are at least invited to the ceremony. If one of them can't afford a ticket, his loss. But no picking and choosing here. Every band member is part of the whole story.

3. The band in its current incarnation decides how to incorporate previous members into its performance at the event, if at all.

Any other system is dumb.

But they each get individual statuettes! Do they make 'em just for the band members who attend the ceremony?

Discontinue the statues. Give all members past and present a nice certificate and make a donation on behalf of the whole band to a charity of their choice.

This is beyond tasteless. Mods?

Pearl Jam should play California Love.

So, what song(s) does Krusen play?

What song(s) with Matt?

Dave A weighs in:

Aaw, fuck. Now I'm even sadder.

Unfortunately, I think Dave A is just pissing in the wind.
