i wanted to listen to some Smashing Pumpkins today for some reason. decided to do a poll since i was going to throw them on.

It's weird to learn that Soma and Mayonaise weren't released as a singles, since I've heard them so much on the radio. In lieu of those, I'll pick Rhinocerous.

torn between "Drown" and "Cherub Rock," maybe "Tonight Tonight" too

― some dude, Wednesday, 6 January 2010 02:08 (fifteen years ago)

cherub rock edging 1979 imo

― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 6 January 2010 02:10 (fifteen years ago)

i am one

― mookieproof, Wednesday, 6 January 2010 02:10 (fifteen years ago)

I realize they have better songs, but I'm voting for "Untitled" so it won't go voteless. It's really good. One of my long-time favorite bands, though, these guys. I love pretty much every song on here.

I think I've mentioned before on ILX that Machina is my fav Pumpkins album... right?

― I just wish he hadn't adopted the "ilxor" moniker (ilxor), Wednesday, 6 January 2010 02:29 (fifteen years ago)

"ava adore". love that song, love that album.

― original bgm, Wednesday, 6 January 2010 02:51 (fifteen years ago)

Siamese Dream is the only Pumpkins album I really like, and of the three tracks representing it here Cherub Rock is the best.

― Communi-Bear Silo State (chap), Wednesday, 6 January 2010 03:00 (fifteen years ago)

"Real Love" is a great Machina II track that is on this comp for no discernible reason.

― Brad Nelson (BradNelson), Wednesday, 6 January 2010 03:16 (fifteen years ago)

also thank god they never reunited right

― Brad Nelson (BradNelson), Wednesday, 6 January 2010 03:18 (fifteen years ago)

Just listened to "Drown" last night -- so very good and epic and beautiful. It gets my vote, narrowly over "cherub rock"

― the architecture of horniness (askance johnson), Wednesday, 6 January 2010 03:47 (fifteen years ago)

I voted Beardsley nipples video!

― girl moves (Abbott), Wednesday, 6 January 2010 03:49 (fifteen years ago)

drown over cherub rock here too.

― t0dd swiss, Wednesday, 6 January 2010 03:51 (fifteen years ago)

The more gothier they are in the video, the better the song from that album.

Ava Adore>>>>>Perfect

Tonight, Tonight>>>Zero>>>Bullet With Butterfly Wings>>>1979 (actually I wld switch the last two if my monochromatic overseers wld let me)

Stand Inside Your Love>>>Everlasting Gaze

It's so simple!

― girl moves (Abbott), Wednesday, 6 January 2010 03:53 (fifteen years ago)

Rhinoceros just barely over Drown

― Big K.R.U.T. (Curt1s Stephens), Wednesday, 6 January 2010 03:55 (fifteen years ago)

also thank god they never reunited right

Technically they didn't.. the current state of "Smashing Pumpkins" is essentially a continuation of Zwan.

― billstevejim, Wednesday, 6 January 2010 04:13 (fifteen years ago)

Not even, because Jimmy's gone. So now it's Billy's solo album with more prog and less synths (an awful development!)

― Brad Nelson (BradNelson), Wednesday, 6 January 2010 04:54 (fifteen years ago)

Unfortunately its not the full version of "Drown" here, just the 4 and a half minute radio edit, so its missing most of the epicness. Given that, I'll have to vote for "Cherub Rock".

― you gone float up with it (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Wednesday, 6 January 2010 05:22 (fifteen years ago)

still voting drown, but the radio edit pales heavily against the singles s/t version

― jack black is the worst jack black (stevie), Wednesday, 6 January 2010 09:15 (fifteen years ago)

What a lame compilation without 'I Am One' and 'Bury Me'

― Shin Oliva Suzuki, Wednesday, 6 January 2010 11:14 (fifteen years ago)

also thank god they never reunited right

Major LOLs. First reunion tour was really entertaining, though! Great shows (I went to two of them).

I thought the subheader was a joke at first.

"Rhinoceros" vs "Ava Adore" for me

― ah ah oh ooh ooh oh ah ah ah ah ah oh ah ah aha ooh (HI DERE), Thursday, 7 January 2010 21:00 (fifteen years ago)

god, all the Melon Collie and Adore singles look great

― da croupier, Thursday, 7 January 2010 21:12 (fifteen years ago)

kinda can't believe starla didn't make it
witholding my vote!

― Meteor Crater (jdchurchill), Thursday, 7 January 2010 21:22 (fifteen years ago)

kinda can't believe starla didn't make it

if the A-side to the "I Am One" single didn't make it, why should the B-side????

― Big K.R.U.T. (Curt1s Stephens), Thursday, 7 January 2010 21:45 (fifteen years ago)

cuz it's my favorite

― Meteor Crater (jdchurchill), Thursday, 7 January 2010 21:48 (fifteen years ago)

amazing how many of these songs i like considering how often the singer sounds like a troll slipping into a hot tub

― da croupier, Friday, 8 January 2010 01:50 (fifteen years ago)

for me, it really is a toss-up b/w the first four, but I'll toss another one in the hat for "Drown."

― $hatner's Bassoon (Pillbox), Friday, 8 January 2010 01:57 (fifteen years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

― System, Sunday, 10 January 2010 00:01 (fifteen years ago)

"Tonight Tonight". No competition as long as "Porcelina" isn't an option (and, well, it was no single, thus no hit)

― Tied Up In Geir (Geir Hongro), Sunday, 10 January 2010 02:36 (fifteen years ago)

"Cherub Rock," Siamese Dream is still awesome.

― slagterm, Sunday, 10 January 2010 02:51 (fifteen years ago)

i voted for "Rhinoceros" because "Drown" got enough votes.

― Bee OK, Sunday, 10 January 2010 03:54 (fifteen years ago)

― System, Monday, 11 January 2010 00:01 (fifteen years ago)

add 'tristessa' to that top 4 and you have my top 5 SP

― journey to the center of fat butt (electricsound), Monday, 11 January 2010 00:11 (fifteen years ago)

Glad to see "Untitled" get two votes! I mean, it really didn't deserve many more, but its actually a pretty great song and definitely the best single to come after Adore.

― you gone float up with it (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Monday, 11 January 2010 00:43 (fifteen years ago)

Siva and Zero both got kinda robbed

― Big K.R.U.T. (Curt1s Stephens), Monday, 11 January 2010 02:35 (fifteen years ago)

Yeah I really like Siva, I'm suprised it got no kudos (I didnt see this poll til just now)

― millivanillimillenary (Trayce), Monday, 11 January 2010 03:14 (fifteen years ago)

wasn't ROCKET a single?

― piscesx, Monday, 11 January 2010 09:57 (fifteen years ago)

it was...this isn't the kind of GH that collects every song released a single, though, obv.

these results are so correct it's almost scary.

― some dude, Monday, 11 January 2010 15:12 (fifteen years ago)

Really surprised at the strong "Rhinoceros" showing, otherwise this is pretty OTM.

― I just wish he hadn't adopted the "ilxor" moniker (ilxor), Monday, 11 January 2010 15:14 (fifteen years ago)

awwww, had i known "perfect" would get a goose-egg i would have voted for it. sometimes i even prefer it to 1979

― da croupier, Monday, 11 January 2010 15:16 (fifteen years ago)

Rhinoceros was the first definitive Pumpkins song imo

― Big K.R.U.T. (Curt1s Stephens), Monday, 11 January 2010 15:56 (fifteen years ago)
