Within these most rigid of circumstances, it’s likely asking too much. They could truly stir things up and remind the voting masses that their career extends far beyond their first album. On top of making all their previous songs his own with his outrageous propulsion and otherworldly sense of time, he’s been involved in the making of some of their most interesting and captivating music. He took over for Jack Irons in 1998 after the band released its fifth album, Yield, and has played on everything since. One of those Ten songs will also likely be played with Krusen on the drums, an acknowledgement of their earliest days and a nice way to welcome their first drummer into this exclusive club.īut some of the band’s best music has been recorded with Cameron behind the kit. “Even Flow” is a good bet for another, or perhaps “Corduroy” or “Better Man.” Maybe they’ll mix it up a little and break out “Daughter” or “Given to Fly.” “Alive” will certainly be one of the songs played - the band has hinted as much without saying it. If they get to that maximum, all three will be of the giant hit variety that has kept Pearl Jam on the radio since Ten was first released. This kind of lifetime achievement recognition typically calls for a maximum of three songs. Though Cameron played drums on the band’s earliest demos in 1990, he was tied up with Soundgarden and Krusen took the drum seat for Ten, the album that immediately pushed the band into the mainstream with a handful of radio hits and three videos - “Even Flow,” “Jeremy” and “Alive” - that made the band mainstays on MTV. On Friday night, Neil Young ( update: David Letterman) will take to the podium in Brooklyn’s Barclays Center and welcome Jeff Ament, Matt Cameron, Stone Gossard, Mike McCready, Eddie Vedder and original drummer Dave Krusen into the hall in the band’s first year of eligibility. Pearl Jam entering the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame feels at once so inevitable and so strange.
