I despite Red Dot, almost irrationally so. No Way has great music but the lyrics (in the chorus in particular) are something that are always standing in the way of my enjoyment of the song.


If you told me Given To Fly was Pearl Jam's best song I wouldn't agree, but I wouldn't argue either.

And I don't even mind the sped up live versions. When they start playing that song it is always exciting

Given to Fly is a great song all around, and something they've been trying to recreate ever since (Unthought Known, Lightning Bolt). But No Way is more interesting and has more hidden gems to give to the listener
