![putpjinrockoffame](https://us.v-cdn.net/5021252/uploads/phpbb/n7a72581f0a7f13136a477b5084f7836f_40422.jpg)
If any band is deserving of this acheivement its pearl Jam. All the years and wonderful music, dedication to their craft and charity contributions make them as qualified as any band ive seen. I think its about time they get the reconition they have earned. I sure would like to see them honored in this forum.

I'm sure they will, I don't have a doubt in my mind, though they can't get inducted into the Hall of Fame until 2016, eligibility starts at 25 years from the first record released.
Sound Garden will definitely be inducted, as will Pearl Jam.
How many other artists have been inducted into the Rock 'N Roll Hall of fame in more than one band?.
I don't feel like tallying things up, but help yourself.

While I have no doubt about PJ getting in, you really think Soundgarden will make the cut? They were great, but it didn't last too long....
10 Years is a long career, and they paved the way for a lot of other bands like Pearl Jam and Nirvana. While they didn't enjoy the commercial success of the bands that came after them, they were ground breaking and pioneering which earned them a lot of creds in the music industry.
I can't believe they have been overlooked for so many years.
Even if you don't like them you have to admit they have done a lot for the music industry.
And what other band that is still around has been together as long as Rush, with the same members? Still making music, still touring.
People who have been inducted twice-
Jeff Beck
Johnny Carter
Eric Clapton (3 times)
Sam Cook
David Crosby
George Harrison
Michael Jackson
John Lennon
Curtis Mayfield
Paul McCartney
Clyde McPhatter
Jimmy Page
Paul Simon
Stephen Stills
Sammy Strain
Neil Young
what I think they need to do is only induct one act per year, and leave at that...make it a high honor, instead of dilute it.
As it is, PJ and Nirvana will probably make it first ballot, and Soundgarden will eventually make it because they don't have other options.

Yeah...Rush isn't in somehow, yet Grandmaster Flash and Run DMC are in. I don't understand how that works in a Rock and Roll HOF...
