Oh look, Rolling Stone decided to shit out another meaningless "top __" list.
It's great the Pumpkins are on it and all (I guess), but they do so many of these it really doesn't mean anything. Come on... top 25 songs to play while high? :rofl:

There are sooooo many other Pumpkins songs that come to mind. For Martha, Quiet, The Aeroplane Flies High....

dude, if they put "for martha" on the top 25 list, the pumpkins would have sold 50,000 "adore"s over the next few weeks

but yeah my favorite stoner sp song is easily starla

The best Pumpkins songs to get high to are the long ones, in my opinion.
Starla, Soma, TAFH, Porcelina...
But I don't like really like 1979 when I'm sober - why would I wanna get high to it?

i don't listen to any pumpkins high. im afraid it would taint them. or the memories they give me. especially a song like for martha. thats brutally emotional

1979 is a dece pick, definately something that'd highten your mood. Siamese Dream sounds so warm and fuzzy ripped though...

Nice to see "Candle" on there,...Peter Bjorn& John? I don't think so...

not a bad list, i'd probably ditch 'adore', weak buzz. I'd go a lil something like this:

1. Rocket
2. Love
3. Plume
4. Here is no Why
5. 1979
6. We Only Come Out at Night
7. Hummer
8. Jellybelly
9. Puleczcar
10. Porcelina of the Vast Oceans
11. Beautiful
12. Stumbliene

Without Cypress Hill, that list is worthless. I'd go with Drown.
