I was thinking about this tonight as I was listening to some audio clips on the radio of Ed inducting REM. Well for one, I don't know if there's some kind of "rule" on time, because obviously it's not like sports where it's a certain after you retire. Does anyone know, do they have a specific "eligibility time"?
But who would give the speech? Would it be one of the people they've looked up to, like Neil Young or Pete Townsend? Or someone that's considered them a major influence? Like maybe Corin from Sleater-Kinney? I don't know...
Also for those interested, my local rock station in the Philly area (93.3 WMMR) tomorrow (3/14) at 12noon will have the audio of an interview that was done with Roger Daltrey, and supposedly he talks at great length about his relationship with Pearl Jam. But don't worry if you can't listen at that time or even if you're not local to the area, as it'll later be available via podcast download at WMMR.com. Goddamn I love the way the internet's changed how we do these sorta things

I'm pretty sure it's 25 years after the 1st record release...not sure. I'm pretty sure it's 25 years roughly from the start of the band

so that's 4.. anyone else?
also what did Neil play when he was inducted.. i dont remember his
I don't know what/if Neil played on his own, but I definitely recall the big group jam was "Fuckin Up".
Also I should apologize for asking the question of how many total bands Ed has inducted, that really more belongs in the already existing "Ed inducts REM" thread, I wouldn't want them to weave too closely together and have this wind up acting as little more than a duplicate.

I'd like to see Michael Stipe do it.

i'd be disappointed if it was Cornell. I'd love to see Neil, but its hard for me to believe committee would select a predecessor to induct a band, instead of a peer or influenced musician.
