Last week, inspired by Thom Yorke and Atoms for Peace’s performance of The Eraser in New York, we asked for a rundown of your favorite solo albums by artists known for their work in bands. After nearly 100 votes, many from Pearl Jam fans, Eddie Vedder’s Into the Wild soundtrack beat out Yorke and solo LPs from members of the Beatles, the Strokes and the Velvet Underground.

1. Eddie Vedder – Into The Wild
2. George Harrison – All Things Must Pass
