Still my favourite. I can kinda see why people slagged it off as an Earthlings leftover but to me it's only because Long Way was entirely Petty and the chorus to Wreckage is a mix of Talkin Bout A Revolution and Learning To Fly (well that's what I felt). But the band add their signature to this mid tempo burner-especially the bridge which not only rubber stamps it as a PJ song not an Ed solo song, and also reminds us that no band hits you in the feels with mid tempo rock stuff better than this one.

^ I like tour opening night where Ed wipes tears while singing "the water will find its' way".
Great juxtaposition.

I think they got the year wrong. Song hit #1 in 1995, according to Billboard. https://www.billboard.com/artist/pearl-jam/chart-history/rtt/#
