Eddie solo album

Seriously, who else wants Eddie to do a solo album? I really like his solo songs. It started on his Beatles cover on the I Am Sam soundtrack. And I really like it when it's just Eddie and his ukelele. Soon Forget, and Goodbye are really great songs. It seems to me there was another song that I head watching A Brokedown Melody, and it wasn't on the soundtrack. Then he follows with Into The Wild, and the great song "No More". Today I just bought "Someday we'll go all the the way" without hearing it first, and I really love it. Based on these examples, I think if Eddie did a solo album it'd end up being something really special. Who else is with me?

    Does this ITW Soundtrack not count as a solo album?

    Of course it does. :)

    But I support this guy's point anyway. Bring on a NEW solo album!

    (I am still waiting to hear that album's-worth of uke songs that Ed has sitting around.)

    I think a true solo album is not tied to any media, only the artist. He did a ITW soundtrack/Solo album

    I mentioned ITW in my post but I don't consider it a true solo album. It's a film score (a brilliant on, no doubt). I really want to hear some more uke songs too.

    Couldn't agree with you more, the man is a genius acoustically.

    I say bring on more solo stuff from Stone and Jeff as well :D

    I think Backspacer is pretty close to an Ed solo album.

    I might be slow but how is Backspacer close to being a Ed solo album?

    he wrote all the lyrics. and a majority of the songs have either the Punk Ed or the Into the Wild Ed feel to them. which i love, btw.

    if you read any of the promotional interviews, Stone and Jeff say that Ed had virtually nothing to do with the writing of the music for the majority of the record. The band wrote most of it while Ed was out doing his solo tours. They then gave their stuff to Ed, who tweaked it and altered it, and there you have it. So this is actually, according to the band, the most "Pearl Jam" Pearl Jam album to date.

    Yes, Ed wrote all the lyrics and at least two of the 11 sound like Ed solo songs, but to me that doesn't constitute anything CLOSE to this being an Ed record. If you are looking for an Ed record, listen to Vitalogy. ;)

    Matt wrote the FIXER, no?

    Jeff played a signficant role in the music on this album as well............

    IF memory serves me ( don't have the record in front of me this very moment) Mike only has one songwriting credit on this one, which, to me, is too bad :(

    That's what the band has said alright. That's not in context though - they said Ed wasn't there for the initial writing sessions. He showed up with his material later. So he had his songs pretty much written as the appear, but without the backing of the band. Ed has the music-composition credits for 5 of these 11 songs, not 2. So to be fair, thats just about half the album completely composed by him.

    Gonna See My Friend
    Just Breathe
    Unthought Known
    Speed Of Sound
    The End

    I like the album, but Ed's got far more representation here than on last few records, no point denying it (cos there's nothing necissarily wrong with it).

    Matt wrote the music for the fixer and Ed wrote the lyrics. Ed seems to have written all the lyrics for this based on the what it shows on each song.

    so wouldnt that make vitalogy an ed solo project as well :roll:
    it's largely due to eddie that i liked to jump off of things as a child...
