    Ok then. I guess it doesn't make a difference that Kurt named Green River among other bands from the time (Malfunkshun, for example) as a major influence? Oh wait I guess the fact that Kurt hates Pearl Jam means that he didn't get any ideas from those guys?

    * songs that he also wrote the lyrics for

    Once
    Even Flow
    Alive
    Black
    Breath
    Footsteps
    Brother*
    Hold On
    Animal
    Hard To Imagine
    Spin The Black Circle
    Satan's Bed
    Mankind*
    Don't Gimme No Lip*
    No Way*
    Do The Evolution
    In Hiding
    All Those Yesterdays*
    Strangest Tribe*
    Thin Air*
    Of The Girl*
    Rival*
    Fatal*
    Bu$hleaguer
    All Or None

    I do love Stone, but...
    Chr-IST Ed's got pipes! The vocals are the draw for a lot of people...You can have the greatest lyrics, ect, but if the singer sucks, it's the biggest turn off. Does anyone think they'd still love pearl jam as much if oh, say.... Jason Mraz was the singer?! (or that dude they got for Alter Bridge...yech.)

    Stone is #1..he is totally the best at what he does & how he does it!! I am super obsessive over him!!!

    He has written some of the best songs PJ has ever done..my fave being "Thin Air" could listen to it day in day out.. :)

    You lost me when you counted Mankind as a "Greatest hit". Seriously?? I mean all other shit, I totally agree with you, but Mankind??? Come on!!! It's a fun song for a live show yeah, but other than that, that song is really bad.

    Dude calm down. I just meant it generally.

    And also, about that list. Those are only songs where the music/lyrics were exclusively written by Stone (except for the ones with Eddie lyrics, of course). That doesn't even take into account the contributions he's made to other songs which weren't exclusively his.

    Stone needs to write a lot more for this album to be successful. He is the master of riff driven songs with cool hooks.

    Stone is a great musician/songwriter, but you could make an as big or bigger Ed list of greatest hits as well (someone else can dot it, I am too lazy). It is great having two fantastic songwriters in the band. it makes the band more dynamic.
