32. Eddie Vedder – "Earthling" This is Eddie Vedder's mightiest statement as a solo artist, surpassing both his "Into the Wild" soundtrack and his slightly odd "Ukulele Songs" record. "Earthling" shows the Pearl Jam leader as an alt-rock journeyman. The opening call to action on the album's first track, "Invincible," sets the album off perfectly, while standouts like "Long Way" and the quieter "The Haves" showcase his signature confidence. If you are expecting the hard rock sound of Pearl Jam, you may be disappointed, but the intriguing and catchy "Brother the Cloud" gets close at its apex. This is Vedder feeling comfortable in his maturity.
