now PJ will be in ROCKNROLL HALL OF FAME..who inducts them??

elevation622

Julian Casablancas of the Strokes. He hits all the boxes - influenced by PJ, loved by Rolling Stone (Strokes played a major Rolling Stone party a few years back and Ed came out and did a song with them) and is younger which seems to be the trend that negates Young Townshend, Springsteen. Although U2 did get inducted by Springsteen which was strange.
I'd even say KoL has a shot based on the criteria. What I don't understand everybody saying is Jack White? There's very little cross pollination there. I know he played with PJ recently and there's mutual respect, but Jack White's thing is the blues.

I believe the HOF criteria is having been inspired by the artist and produced music in a similar vein.

To me it should be Kings of Leon.

In what way is KoL music similar to PJs?

You hear a lot of Ed Vedder in Caleb Followill's voice. Also, the bands don't need to be identical, both are alternative rock bands, I think that's good enough.

When do you typically find out who inducts them? The night of the ceremony?

Short list of previous PJ collaborators/friends who fit the bill (i.e. they are of a younger generation, have enjoyed a certain degree of success, are potentially capable of pulling off an honorable speech): Julian Casablancas, Caleb Followill, Josh Homme, Jack White, Corin Tucker, Liam Finn, Glen Hansard.

Can't see guys like Young, Springsteen or even Cornell being asked to do this.

Darius Rucker of course

Young Neil.

Billy Corgan

Wow,no mention of Steve Gleason. That would be badass if they chose him to do it.He has my vote.

darwinstheory

Gleason would definitely be legit...and a very PJ way to go about using the platform to raise awareness. I'd like this.

Glen Hansard would be my favorite personal choice.

Kings of Leonardo seem like my favorite logical choice. They make some pretty good rock and roll music. I don't know a ton about them other than I like what I have heard. Death Cab for Cutie fits this bill for me too.

I think in order to elevate the status of being inducted PJ should bring a child who suffers from EB onstage and dedicate the win to them.
Instead of saying I don't know what this means.

They're not going to say that. They're not in their twenties anymore.

Isaac Brock or Pete Quirk

It could also be Gloria Steinem, Damien Echols or Patti Smith.

that was obviously a throwback to ed's grammy speech.

cp3iverson

No Brian fallon please (and i love the 59 sound)

John mayer or Julian from the strokes are good picks. Josh from QOTSA would be awesome too

03- Pete Townshend
04- Michael Stipe
05- Carrie Brownstein
06- Ben Harper
07- Glen Hansard
08- Jack White
09- Julian Casablancas
10- Annie Clark (St Vincent)

my money is on #1 or #2.

I understand how in the past it seems to be a tradition to have someone who the inductee has influenced, but Michael Stipe inducted Nirvana, so that tradition has exceptions. I think the smart money is on Cornell. He was the roommate and best friend of Ed's predecessor, he's great friends with the whole band, recorded an album and recently toured with all of them minus Ed, came up in the ranks of Seattle's explosion at the same time; to me it just makes sense.

Would love any of them ones in bold

To throw out a different name, what about John Mayer? He's talked about how much Ed, Mike, and No Code have influenced him.

LukinFan

I would love to see Ban Harper do it

dancinacrossthewater

Feel like maybe it's Stipe

I saw a dude once with the stickman logo as a tattoo. That seems to be quite rare. I say that guy gives the speech.

Ellie Goulding.
1. She's a big fan
2. She's pretty, so it won't be tough to stay glued to the tv
