The Aeroplane Flies High (Turns Left, Looks Right)

Would’ve fit perfectly on Siamese Dream or Mellon Collie, imo. I’m admittedly a sucker for the quiet/loud/quiet dynamic.

Drown from the Singles soundtrack is the first Pumpkins song I ever heard. It’s still my favorite.

Meh that was pretty bad. Song in OP is better. My vote for best goes to Drown.

Can I lump "The Beginning is the End is the Beginning" and "The End Is the Beginning Is the End" as one song?

For those of y’all who are big Pumpkins fans, SPIN did a great ranking of all of their songs including all the oddities and outtakes with pretty good analysis of most. I appreciated them giving credit where it was due to absolute gems like This Time and That’s the Way My Love is rather than lazily categorizing every post Adore release as crap (like most music media did).

That’s the great thing about lists like this. There’s pretty much an equal amount of nodding in agreement and WTF?!?, how could they put that song there.

Reading that list reminded me that I haven’t heard “Glynis” in a really long time. I’ll remedy that tonight. I loved that “No Alternative” compilation.

Nice list, I had to check to see if this was my post.
haha! I've actually heard all of those songs live.


I would like to second Stellar to the post above. It is a bit newer, but all of the Starla/Drown posters would dig it.

Others to mention:
Let Me Give the World to You
Ugly
Czarina
Whir
Obscured

*We are calling Pisces Iscariot and Machina 2, not proper albums which makes sense.
