Best smashing pumpkins song.

[JC]

<< rat in a cage are the lyrics of the chorus from the song Bullet with Butterfly Wings

that is my favorite smashing pumpkins song... >>



I stand gladly corrected

 

[Slapus]

wow it's really hard to pick a favorite but Muzzle comes to mind

 

[DaLeroy]

<< Try, Try, Try (alternate lyrics from Machina II) >>



That's new song tho!!!! Old songs are always better

I'd have to go with either Tonight, Tonight or Bullet with Butterfly wings, but it's too damn hard to narrow down!!

 

[Siva]

mayonaise

I'm loving Machina lately though, Glass and the Ghost Children, Heavy Metal Machine, and Wound kick some ass.

If anyone here doesn't have the Greatest Hits DVD, PM me and i'll send you the awesome version of Fvck You from the metro.

Where did you pick that DVD up at?
I have not seen it at Best Buy, Circuit City, or anyother place for that matter.
I am sure it can be found on the web, but I was hoping to pick it up some place.
Maybe the Virgin store.

I got my DVD at Border's books for a scant $14.99!

<< siamese dream was a great album. silverfuck, disarm, luna, today, cherub rock. everything after that just paled. >>



agreed that siamese dream was the best album. i do like the rest of their albums though ,

 

[mjquilly]

Siamese Dream is my favorite album by any artist, but the Pumpkins are not my favorite artist. That album is just sooooooo great. I'm gonna go listen to it now!

 

[mithrandir2001]

Cherub Rock...what a way to start an album.

 

[punkrawket]

<< 1979. >>

 

[bigrash]

<< Where did you pick that DVD up at? >>



they had a whole lot of them at the Virgins Megastore here in NYC the first week it came out. I listened to the whole first cd while i was waiting for my friend

 

[thomsbrain]

Drown, baby, Drown!

Muzzle was great. Porcelina. Soma.

Ava Adore was like the blandest song Billy ever wrote, IMO.

Edit: or how about the awesome performace of Silverf!ck/Jackboot on Vieuphoria?

 

[Atlantean]

Bullet with butterfly wings
A killer in me is a killer in you (not sure if that is the name though, they do say it in the song though)

 

[GT578]

Rhinoceros .
a close second is cherub rock.

 

[Siva]

Ava Adore wasn't great, but it wasn't horrible either. I have to agree, Porcelina is amazing, especially any live version, Silverfvck is sooo awesome live, makes the album version seem tame. The more i listen to it, the more Machina becomes my favorite album (I absolutely hated it at first). Then SD and Adore are probably tied for second (I fell in love with SD, Adore took some time) with mellon collie and gish close behind.

fav songs from each album
Gish: Rhinocerous
Bury Me

Siamese Dream: Mayonaise
Rocket

Pisces: Starla
Landslide/Blew Away

Mellon Collie: 1979 (have the single poster hanging above my computer)
Porcelina/Muzzle/33

Aeroplane: The Aeroplane Flies High
Medallia of the Grey Skies

Adore: Pug
Tale of Dusty/For Martha

Machina- The Everlasting Gaze
Heavy Metal Machine/Wound/This Time/With Every Light

Machina II- Cash Car Star
Real Love/If There is a God (vox)

Rotten Apples: Drown/Untitled


Geek USA with stage diving clowns pretty much sums up the whole band on the DVD

I have been a smashing pumpkins fan since 1992. I can't say that there is a "best" song. There are so many great songs that they have made; each one has its own unique meaning. I don't believe any one is necessarily "better" than the other just because each song is so different. I like almost every one of Billy's songs. But their best album is definatly Machina: The Machines of God.

Today is the greatest
Day I've ever known
Can't live for tomorrow,
Tomorrow's much too long...

[JoeKing]

Emptiness is loneliness
and loneliness is cleanliness
and cleanliness is godliness
and god is empty just like me

 

[TripleJ]

Probably 1979 but it changes. Choosing 1 is rediculous.

What makes The Smashing Pumpkins so good is their strength in the albums as a whole.
