has a good number of appreciators, i think.

Because You Are is known to be in the top 3.

Is Le Deux Machina so cheesy that it doesn't qualify as a song? Otherwise, it surely belongs on the list.

[DisconnectD]

You haven't even heard the studio version of For God and Country, you dick.

[DisconnectD]

I appreciate In my body, regardless of what others think. Something about it. The remix on the other hand is terrible. I think it could have been really pleasing, had it made it into the studio. Same goes for most of Machina II.

it's not really fair to even consider that track or the alt version of heavy metal machine.

lol

[hummer26]

The entire adore album
songs off the tonight tonight single from the box set


pretty much anything from adone onwards.....few good songs on machina and a few good ones with lots of potential from arising tour........seems like corgan purposely avoided putting the good music on albums?

For God and Country, concert version blows...might be diff on cd

Well, apparently the Album version is completely different then the live version. The live version is just a barebones take on it.

So FFS, why don't you reserve your judgement?

GTFO!

That EP is flawless.

lol @ this guy with his Adore bashing.

Adore may not rawk hard, and it isn't for everyone but I implore you to lie down by a fire on a crisp winter's eve, and absorb the album as you drift to sleep. You will change your mind. Adore is Billy's song writing at its best.

Poetry

[DisconnectD]

Hummer26 is obviously more into the heavy spectrum of SP.

let me guess, Everlasting Gays is your favorite song on Machina? Ava Adore off of Adore?

To each his own.

[hcueva]

Not in a particular order:

1. Apples and Oranges (ripped off Syd's song title and changed the spelling, btw)
2. 17 seconds -it wins the failed experiment award.
3. Untitled
4. Take me down
5. About half of Machina/Machina II

[Gossamer]

I think you should keep this to like just the main albums, Gish, SD, MCIS, Adore, and Machina...because there is A LOT of crap to sift through if you add everything else.

The 5 weakest for me would probably be:

1. Crestfallen (by far the worst song they've ever done imo)
2. Appels + Oranjes (never really liked this one, also sounds really dated)
3. Blue Skies Bring Tears (more like this song bores me to tears)
4. Daydream (billy's acoustic version at the secret show redeems it a bit)
5. Take Me Down (worst song on MCIS)

[Ol' Couch Ass]

The best thing about this thread is how original it is. I don't think we've ever had a Pumpkins worst of list! Congrats for breaking the mold! Awesome thread!

[tcm]

let's try to keep personal opinions out of this or we're not going to get much done here.

Always thought Once In A While was one of the stronger tracks from that era. I did just listen to The Imploding Voice. That song will always blow.

[DisconnectD]

How can you say that about untitled? I just don't get how you can like Muzzle or home, but diss Untitled? Its a great song, although the live version sounds a little rushed on the vocals.

Ya know, I would add Transformer to the list just because it just doesn't have that punch that most Pumpkins songs have. I like the song, its catchy and it has a nice feel but its just dead. The name is misleading.

wow i actually think this is one of the only good tracks from the machina era

[cork_soaker]

oh, opinions *limp wrist flick*

[DisconnectD]

My Mistake is fucking excellent. The vocals and emotions are as raw as it gets for such a mellow song. It was recorded after the bulls playoff right? Something about the vocals get me off everytime. I'm not gay or anything but man those vocals kickass. (as do unicorns)

[redbreegull]

Jesus fucking Christ, I've never seen so many good songs on "worst of" lists.

[Desolation_Disco_King]

Sorry

but this is why a lot of you have no idea what you are talking about
and how a lot of you are just talking out of your ass.

Not 1 single person even mentioned Chewing Gum
i see songs on here like...TCTOM and Perfect and The Everlasting Gaze
This Time....and the entire adore album.

Yeah....all of those songs are worse than Chewing Gum
a basic accoustic song where he mostly just says Chewing Gum over and over

"got myself a piece of chewing gum.....chewing gum, got myself a piece of chewing gum"

choosing ANY of these songs over that song, is retarded
and like i said
proves that most of you are talkin out of your ass
and you don't know SHIT about music...or even the pumpkins

go to some other msg board

with that said, i still don't mind chewing gum..just a simple fun song
but it is 100% the worst song they've (billy) has done
