R&R Hall Of Fame's Peresman on PJ's Drummers Situation
Pearl Jam should pose another conundrum considering the fact they've had five separate drummers. "I'm just trying to get through next Friday," says Peresman with a big laugh. "I'll deal with Pearl Jam's drummers after that."

1. Original members or
2. Record 2 or more albums with the group.
Looks like as per the rules all 4 drummers should get into the hall.

Kiss has its own issues. Being dissed by the HOF for 14 years is one of them, as well as now being inducted but only the original members, which they have a real problem with. HOF's decision.

The HOF is just another corporate entity making up their own rules. Don't look up to them as the ultimate club for only the highest royalty of rock and roll. Look at them like PJ looks at the Grammys. Because they're just as corporate.
I tend to like Linda Ronstandt. But it's now 40 years since she's been howling her pipes and only now do they induct her. And she can't even sing at the induction because she has Parkinson's Disease which has now taken away her beautiful talent.
Way to go, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame…

How Does the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Decide Which Band Members Get Inducted?
(Nothing's consistent: Red Hot Chili Peppers and the Grateful Dead are among the very few whom all band members were inducted).
The band being inducted this year is all based off the release of Bleach, and album that Grohl had nothing to do with.
Will be interesting to see if PJ gets in year one, and who they induct as the drummer(s).
And since it's the Rock Hall that decides who gets in, Dave A should definitely be included. Dude wrote "Go" (album opener, mind you) and co-wrote "WMA", "Last Exit", "Pry, To", "Aye Davanita", and "Alone".
Dave K needs to be inducted because of Ten. He also co-wrote "Release", "Wash", "2,000 Mile Blues", and "Evil Little Goat".
Jack and Matt Cameron need to be inducted because .... well, I don't have to go into details here, now do I .....
Would PJ exist to be inducted wo MC? I say no.
I'm guessing that's how the HoF goes about this. Thus, the Kiss decision. And wo a band objection, I don't see the push for Dave A happening.

I agree PJ wouldn't exist without Cameron, as they've states as much. OTOH, I don't think much of their RnR HoF case has been built with him in the band, that they couldn't have built with any other good rock drummer. Not taking anything away from his ability or his contributions to the band, I just think they'd have pretty much the same resume if they stopped in the early 00s.
Anyway, as for PJ, I'd be fine with just four of them and Matt being inducted. Dave Krusen won't be inducted. And either Dave A and Jack both will be or both won't be. You can't induct one and not the other.
