Well...what is your opinion? I would really dig a Pearl Jam or Eddie Vedder/Ben Harper collaboration album. To be honest, considering the close bond between Ed & Ben (Ben being the godfather for Ed's daughter Harper etc) I'd might prefer an effort by them.

Could be some sick stuff
Are there really that many songs to constitute a good mix? Indifference, Red Mosquito, Under Pressure, Throw Your Hatred Down, Masters of War, that's all I can think of, there's probably more though.

Is Ed's kid really named Harper? And is Ben Harper really the godfather?
No doubt the album would be awesome. I only know a couple of Ben's records, and I feel like Ed would have a hard time keeping up with some of Ben's funk, and gospel-style stuff. "Keeping up" might not be the right terminology, but I don't see Ed's voice matching with that music. Where as Ben's voice would match nicely with the folky, rock stylings of Ed.

Ah, my B. Yeah that would be awesome.
I know it's cliche, but once you hear Indifference w/Ben Harper it's like the song was meant to be a duet between BH and EV.
I wish I could hear it like you. I really enjoy Ben Harper and I really enjoy Indifference, but not together.
I like the way Ben plays on Red Mosquito and I would love to see him push Pearl Jam's jam's into that direction. A Mirror Ball type thing would be cool.

I just think Ben's voice and his style of singing fits that song perfectly, I especially like it when EV kind of harmonizes in the background on the last chorus ala Live at the Garden.
