how would you induct Pearl Jam into the Hall of Fame if you were given the honors of inducting them?



fun question for some bored people.

I don't think Jeff Ament is THAT good at basketball

Well he damn well should be inducted in there for style.

I'm guessing this is a "when," not an "if." At least some members of the band have been involved in three inductions that I can think of (The Doors, Neil [and Crazyhorse together, I believe], and The Ramones), so even with Ed's tirade last time, I believe they have some kind of respect for the institution and would accept an induction.

Who would induct them would be an interesting question...my knee jerk reaction would be someone they respect who is already in the hall, like Neil or somebody like that. But since they got to induct some of their idols that they were influenced by, wouldn't it be fitting if they let someone else induct them? Maybe we haven't even heard of the artist yet (what does it have to be, 30 years since their first album is released? so 2022?). If they were inducted tomorrow, I'd guess it'd be some current act Ed is high on: I've heard him talk a lot about liking the White Stripes. Or maybe, even though they broke up, Sleater-Kinney? Another possibility: Chris Cornell inducts them (Soundgarden will go in a few years before Pearl Jam), then they rock out some PJ and ToTD tunes.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, Creed!"

I'm thinking that Cameron Crowe inducts them. I'll be taking bets until 2016.

Candidates: Neil Young returns the favor, saying few words but nailing the essence of Pearl Jam in the process, or Bono talks about the how much this band has done for music and for the world, or Micheal Stipe thanks them for rescuing music in the early 90s, and what it has meant that they have stayed together and continue to make great music, or the members of Soundgarden quietly pay homage to the period when the Seattle bands ruled the world.... A few possibilities, anyway.

It's 25 years after the first album release, so 2016, I think. Could quite possibly be someone who we don't know about yet will induct them. I hope it's someone I like though, not some... whatever.

"A band that has influenced many great bands from Nickelback to Creed but stole their sound from Stone Temple Pilote, i give you Pearl Jam!"

don't they usually have newer artists introduce the old ones--the people who the band going in have influenced.

so audioslave maybe?

I think STP stole their sound from Pearl Jam.

didnt Core come out in 92? yeah, thought so

stp-owned

Tim Robbins could induct them.

Doesn't he really like The Strokes too?

1. Chris Cornell
2. Young Neil
3. Bruce
4. Tim Robbins
5. George Bush

all i can think of is what a party after the induction

Sorry, but Young Neil, will be Dead Neil by the time they are inducted.

if its someone newer i'd like to see someone from the strokes do it
