I like The Smashing Pumpkins more than the Cure or the Clash, so answer me this. I think my favourite is "Mayonaise", though it's a very hard choice.

My thread is more interesting because there's a poll for you!

Yay! Poll!
:fluffle:

Cherub Rock, Disarm, Today.

In fact just the entire Siamese Dream album.

In fact just the entire Siamese Dream album.
I agree, it's virtually a perfect album. Definitely in my top 3.

PS... you might be confused as to why I did not put my favourite in the poll. I put all the songs that were famous and that people were most likely to vote for.

I think the song is called "Tristessa". It's on the "Gish" album.

Cherub Rock is easily my favorite.

That's an unusual one! Yes, it's on Gish.

I think that their album Pisces Iscariot is very underrated, as is Adore. Pisces Iscariot was released after Siamese Dream and has songs like "Starla", "Soothe", "Blew Away" and "Pissant"

Grr, I can't choose...
I love "Today", "Cherub Rock", "Disarm", "Zero", "Tonight, Tonight", "Bullet with Butterfly Wings", out of just what's on the poll.

I suppose I'll vote "Disarm", since I've just learned to play that and have been playing it a lot lately.

ah, a mighty band if there ever was one...

i voted for tonight tonight, as its my fav on the list, but my over all favourite has got to be "soma" off of "siamese dream"

EVERLASTING GAZE

I love them all but I love the dirty low gutar sound of the base :D

makes me want to :fluffle: her

Mouths of Babes.

Cherub Rock or Today i would say

Wow, sunday I was at this club and suddenly "Ava Adore" started to play and I blackened out, like, in pure joy and happiness, the world suddenly melted and it was me, ava adore and nothing, it was one of the greatest experiences in my mind. When I "woke up", I was kissing this girl and... gee, I dunno what else happened, but Ava Adore made my day sunday, really, funny you start a thread about Smashing Pumpkins, because it´s really stuck in my mind how amazingly happy they made me this weekend.

Drugs are great, aren't they!

j/k

Yeah, I know how it is to love a song like that so much.

I think my favourite is "Mayonaise", though it's a very hard choice.
Whoa, I forgot about "Mayonaise"!
*slaps forehead*
That song is awesome.

"Fool enough to almost be it
Cool enough to not quite see it
Doomed
Pick your pockets full of sorrow
And run away with me tomorrow
June

We'll try and ease the pain
But somehow we'll feel the same
Well, no one knows
Where our secrets go..."

For the purposes of this poll, I put "Bullet with Butterfly Wings" because it's better than "Zero", and I'm in the mood for something loud.

Overall, I rather like "Lily (My One and Only)", "Galapagos", and "Landslide".

Yeah, damn right. It also contains the most emotional moment on the album at about 4:54!

Also has great riffs and guitar tone.

My favorite is Porcelina. Very relaxing.

Yeah, at first, I never listened to the whole thing since it was so long. But when I actually did, I realized it was good.

Whoa...
The video for "Zero" is profoundly weird.

One of my favourite songs off Mellon Collie.

Did you just watch it on the internet or something?

Ja.

Ooh!
I just saw the video for "Bullets with Butterfly Wings", and it's awesome!
Yay weirdness!

Also, Billy looked better when he had hair...

Ja.
Where can I download these videos?

Today and Zero

Where can I download these videos?
I was looking at them over RealPlayer, but I'll go look for them.
Ah, it appears you can watch them here:

I can't seem to find downloadable versions at the moment.

Thanks! I wasn't aware of this before!

Everlasting Gaze for me. Tis a very good song

I selected "Other" becuase it's too hard for me to chose. They're all good.

Damn, I should have put that on the poll instead of Perfect.

Isn't that an oxmymoron?

"Thirty-Three" + "Rocket" = Very Yes.

Because I don't have any of their albums, I'll have to go with Bullet with butterfly wings. Its a song I randomly sing to myself sometimes.

mayonaise or stumbleine

Hmm, I randomly sing "X.Y.U." to other people sometimes...

You're making me pick?????????????

*passes out*

I need time....

I'd say a tie between "Bullet with Butterfly Wings" and "Disarm". They're both songs I relate very well too.

Going with 'Tonight, Tonight,' but giving honerable mention to 'Disarm.'

Did anyone ever see them live? I did not. :(

Damn, tough call. I voted other 'cause i'm torn between X.Y.U. and Geek USA.

:D

No, but it's redundant.

I picked other, because there are too many to pick. My inclination is "Bullet With Butterfly Wings," though "Ugly," "Silverfuck," "Hello Kitty Kat," "Rhinoceros," "X.Y.U.," and "Tales of a Scorched Earth" are all up there.

I agree, although I'd add mayonaise and porcelina of the vast oceans as well.

Smashing Pumpkins are what got me into music so I almost want to say all of them but if I have to choose...
