    since No Code the other band members have brought in some songs complete with lyrics (then they credits for the lyrics), or with parts of the lyrics done (which gives them co-write credits)...
    Here's a list of most of em:

    STONE: Mankind, Dont Gimme No Lip, No Way, All Those Yesterdays (query this one), Thin Air, Of The Girl, Rival, Fatal, Strangest Tribe, All Or None, Bushleaguer (co-write: Stone wrote the "blackout weaves lines")

    JEFF: Pilate, Low Light, NAIS, Otherside, God's Dice, Ghost, Help Help, Sweet Lew

    MATT: Get Right, In The Moonlight, You Are (co-write)

    MIKE: Inside Job, Let Me Sleep

    JACK: Whale Song

    there are other songs that members have written music for, but this list is Lyrics writers

    what do you mean "query this one" when referring to All Those Yesterdays? are you suggesting that the lyrics are co-written? or possibly even written solely by Ed?

    Thin Air!!
    I pledge to you a government that will not only work well, but wisely, its ability to act tempered by prudence, and its willingness to do good, balanced by the knowledge that government is never more dangerous than when our desire to have it help us blinds us to its great power to harm us.

    pretty sure it's all stone.

    I'd say All Those Yesterdays or Rival. I think Stone's a really interesting songwriter. I don't know if I'd listen to his stuff all the time, but he's definetely got a unique voice, and I wish some of these songs written by other members were played more frequently.

    Didn't Mike McCready write most of 'Down', lyrics and music?

    God's Dice is probably my fave Jeff song. I could never hear it enough, and it's always good live.

    My first instinct was Thin Air

    After reading some replies I;d also add
    NAIS and All Those Yesterdays

    I thinkI would tie Thin Air and NAIS and then say ATY is 2nd.
    I surfaced and all of my being was enlightened.

    The lyrics for "Smile" were basically written by Dennis Flemion, but he only gets credit on the vinyl for some reason.

    Vedder wrote the lyrics for Down and McCready/Gossard co-wrote the music

    NAIS is a fabulous song, but I don't think that PJ has put out a better song in recent years than Of the Girl. Musically, lyrically, and vocal delivery...just a gem all the way around.

    Down = all EV lyrics

    Edit: God's Dice is easily my least favorite NON-ED song.

    The Answer's in Plato

    Am I the only one who got this?

    I don't agree, though, I think it's Otherside.

    ~ is your Pearl Jam cup half empty, or 1/2 Full?
  • Eliot RosewaterEliot Rosewater Posts: 2,659
    I got it too....I think based on lyrics alone Other Side. Inside Job is right up there too for me.
