When a band is but a fraction of Pearl Jam, but they aren't zero Pearl Jam.

Rank the solo albums

Post by joostone »

With 'Earthling' coming up and who knows what else is cooking I thought it would be fun to rank all the solo albums. Earthling will be the bands 10th solo album!!

My ranking:

01- Bayleaf (SG)
02- Into the Wild (EV)
03- Heaven/Hell (JA)
04- Ukelele songs (EV)
05- I should be outside (JA)
06- Moonlander (SG)
07- While my Heart Beats (JA)
08- Cavedweller (MC)
09- Tone (JA)

I love Bayleaf.

Bayleaf
Into The Wild
Moonlander
Uke Songs
Tone

Everything else.

I hope they put Bayleaf to vinyl some day. Or at least put Stones records up on Spotify.

Moonlander
Into The Wild
Cavedweller
Bayleaf

I like these a little more than gigaton and much more than 2006 - 2013 PJ. I can admit i haven't listened attentively enough to Jeff's albums to rank them. I usually get about 4 songs in and move on. I do like a few tracks each off his first 3 though.

..Not really a fan of EV in general after ITW :|

Agreed. But the first Three Fish is the best non-PJ thing any of these guys have ever put out.

Bayleaf
Moonlander

Into the Wild

Jeff's stuff has never done anything for me, and I've never heard Cavedweller -- I love Cameron's songwriting but after a few folks here who also love Cameron's songwriting had lukewarm reactions to it, it kind of fell off my radar.

As an aside, has anyone heard these bonus tracks from Bayleaf? I had no idea they existed until I happened upon the album's Wiki entry recently, and cursory searches for them have been unsuccessful.

Japanese bonus track
No. Title Length
11. "Can't Stop" 3:53

Online bonus track
No. Title Length
11. "Shame On You" 5:38
