god fuzzy just shut up.
yeah, to sheila, shame, nitemare, annie dog, tale of dusty, tear, once upon a time, for martha, blank page, etc etc etc.. such trendy tracks!! he literally slammed lmgtw off of the final track list for the points you are trying to give. i'll give you the perfect ripping off 1979 but that's it. adore was a risky af move for smashing pumpkins and they paid for it and so did the fans. I knew the record was in trouble when Ava Adore tanked as the first single and MTV played that video like, twice. the only revisionist history happening there is the illusion that that single was a hit and the album was a hit. it wasn't. billy nearly lost his mind that summer.
anyway-- MCIS>SD>Adore>Machina2>Gish>Machina is how'd id rank 1991-2000 output. but I've had Machina 2 at #1 before, same with adore and SD. But never Gish or Machina 1. also sometime i do feel like gish is better than Adore.
ultimately, ranking is seriously fuckign stupid. i hate lists.
