A bit derivative of the Alive outro, but that's tall timber.

Breath.

The comatose solo is better than similar moments in their catalog (Brain of J for example). I love the way it comes in, its very memorable.

Unfortunately, Breath is amazing. No contest.

This was tough, but as mikejasond points out, the comatose solo is arguably the best solo of its type in the catalog, and Breath, while great, can't help but feel slightly second tier stacked against the very similar Alive solo. Also, given how exciting the outro bridge is prior to the solo (one of the absolute best Pearl Jam moments, period) the Breath solo also feels like a tiny bit of a let down. Again, it's great, and there are far worse songs to lose to. But it's never felt special

I just listened to the Breath solo again and while I stand by my post, I also concede that it is nonsense. The breath solo is terrific.
