could we ever come up with a consensus on the best SP song?
 

i know its all subjective, but i feel like its one of the Siamese songs.
Soma?

Mayonaise?

Hummer?

those are just some of the ones that come to mind from that era.

porcelina is up there too i think

Yeah, it's gotta be from that era for sure, Id throw Geek USA in the mix too. These fans who think it's a track from Machina are insane

why yes we could

iotm

ruby would be up there too i think, even though it's not sd era.



mayo and hummer stand out to me from the suggestions so far.

ruby is definitely up there

spiteface tease

Yes.

It's Mayonaise.

Knee jerk answer is soma.

real answer is by starlight

spiteface [tease]

but the answer is ruby, live spring 1996, with the extended outro

I would say Hummer Mayo and Soma are maybe the most cited as ultimate favs in my completely anecdotal self-reported experience as a fan

hummer

tonight tonight classic rock love song

in order

1.) Clones (We R)

2.) Landslide

3.) One and Two

I hate to jump on the Mayo, Hummer, Soma bandwagon but yeah, after 10 years of observing online fan communities in their natural habitat, those three songs get the most mentions/praise, as they should. But I'll throw in a few overlooked classics.
Tonight Tonight. (I know it's one of their biggest songs, but I rarely see it checked off in these fan lists. But it deserves to be up there with Ruby and Porcelina)

Also, For Martha & Home.

Starla or Porcelina

what about set the ray to jerry?

yes, because if you don't fall in the lowest common denominator or aren't stuck in the early 90s grunge/"punk" era you are insane

Stand Inside Your Love, This Time, & Age of Innocence are as good of answers to this question as any

I don't think Netphorians can agree on anything...

it's hummer. that song embodies everything all of the other favorite songs do.

I hear that Big Truck05 disagrees.

sleeping giant?

strength in numbers?

Could hundreds of people with different tastes and personalities come to a unanimous agreement as to the best work by a group they all like that produced several good things for a period spanning about a decade?

Yeah, I don't see what's so unlikely about that.

Well we've already narrowed it down to at least 3-6 tracks in this thread. That's pretty good.

smells like teen spirit

we did do survivors per album years ago
like, voting away the lesser songs one by one until there was only one left

and then a survivor of the survivors I think

which was smells like teen spirit
