Whipping is my favorite song on Vitalogy. Hate how under appreciated it seems to be.

This. Absolutely this.

Also, I love "Stupid Mop". I always have. When Ed and Jack settle into that groove it's just fucking great. I can't picture the album ending any differently.

It always tickled the shit out of me to think that he got thousands of dollars in royalties for that album, and his work is all on the one track that me and like thirteen other people ever actually listen to.

BoB doesn't have songwriting credits for FD though, Jack does for Stupid Mop.
