Based on the last 10 years, I'm not getting the Stone love in. Stone: Bushleaguer All or None Life Wasted Parachutes Amongst The Waves Supersonic Ed: Can't Keep Love Boat Captain I am Mine Thumbing My Way Green Disease WWS Severed Hand Gone Come Back Gonna See My Friend Just Breathe Unthought Known Speed of Sound The End Ed's contributions have been more prolific and consistent; Stone has only really given us two gems (All or None/Parachutes) in the last 3 albums. |

Have to be honest, a lot of those Ed songs are lowlights of the albums they're on. That being said, I thought this was a grand total of the band, not the past ten years. Besides, it's shaky trying to pin songs successes and failures totally on one member, cause who knows what the band does with each song by the time they're through with it. |

If you look at quantity or quality Ed has been a far more valuable member to the group in the last 10 years. |

Well in general Ed should get more credit when things are going well and more blame when they're not, because he's the guy with both hands on the wheel, as he's said. So I think where they have stumbled it, by definition, has to be a knock on Ed more than anyone else in the band. And I'd say many folks here think they're somewhat in a rut right now. That may be what people are thinking about, rather than splitting it up into what each person rights the words and music to. |

Well, he's actually been the most important member since the very beginning. I don't think those early Stone demos would've made a huge impact if Ed didn't join the band. |

I think stone was a "musician" far earlier than ed... and stone's best songwriting days are behind him... while ed is still finding his way... OK that sounded kinda douchy... |

I always felt that Stone had the most unused potential of the group. I'm pretty sure it's the combination of Stone and Eddie (not to devalue Mike and Jeff) much like McCartney/Lennon, that made Pearl Jam magical. However, I feel that the two of them haven't really delved into this in later years. If I read somewhere that the two of them would spend a week together, just the two of them writing songs, I would expect magic to come out of it. What is life without dreams.

I actually think tension is what makes great music in a lot of bands. Maybe the band gets along too well to truly make great music anymore. Seems to be too much of a democracy. The tension seems to have left the band after Yield. Or maybe I have just watched too many rock documentaries. |
