I mean it has to be No Way but I would have liked to have gotten to vote for Parachutes over BRY or Around the Bend or Breath or some of the other songs in this round.

No Way is just a fantastic song. Love its swagger.

No Way is nice, but Parachutes is always a great listen. One of the best of the last 15 years

So, Stone has solo lyrics and music credit for No Way, and solo music credit for Parachutes. Quiet the range of songs for Mr Gossard.

Yep, but I don't think he has another No Way in him. He seems to have gotten really into more traditional Hank Williams-style songwriting over the last few albums.

I might lean towards Parachutes today, which surprises me. The serpentine melody is really great, and I love the way Mike holds back the entire song, letting a crack of guitar slip through in the last chorus.

I'll probably go back and forth on this one, though; No Way is such a great fucking song.
