    Is it underrated?
    It's a fucking AWESOME song!!!!! But I'm not sure it's underrated or under-appreciated. Doesn't pretty much everyone love it? ;)

    Agreed. Just underplayed.

    Underrated by Stone maybe.

    Didn't/doesn't Stone dislike the song? He said something along the lines that "it has a good opening groove but doesn't really go anywhere."

    Maybe it was me who thought the first part of that statement.

    Every time I see this thread I get No Way stuck in my head for at least an hour. :P

    It is one of the few Pearl Jam songs that I never get bored of listening to (ironically most of those songs for me come off of Yield).

    No Way has a great groove and I love the production on it for Yield. I think it falls short though live and so I can understand why they don't play it a lot. It might be a better live song for smaller venues and a higher percentage of die hards in the audience.
