Only song I can vote for is 1979 because it was a big hit, and I know it. They did many other songs that were beautiful but I don't know the names of them , and if I did, would most likely vote them as my faves.

I like the entire "Melancholy..." album. It's great. Another song of theirs that I like very much is "The Everlasting Gaze" which was on their final album, "Machina: The Machines of God."

"Cherub Rock" is definitely my favorite pumpkins tune of all time. I'm disappointed that nobody has mentioned it yet. I still actually have the "Siamese Dream" cassette kicking around the house somewhere. :o

"1979" - I'd almost describe this as 80's new wave meets 90's alternative. Catchy as h*ll - another song I liked when I first heard it back in early '97.

I also like "Tonight Tonight", the heavier "Bullet With Butterfly Wings" and a few others I can't place offhand.

I would definately go with "Tonight, Tonight"

It was a Big Hit on MTV back around the Summer of 1996, and it's just a Great Song overall

The Smashing Pumpkins, I'd say, were the best band of the 90s. And their music had such great diversity, too. They did slow, acoustic sounding songs using orchestral instruments, as well as loud, heavy songs with distorted guitars and synthesizers.

My favourite song would have to be "Stumbleine" from Mellon Collie.

Mayonaise, from Siamese Dream.
one of the best albums of the 90s, in my opinion.

Please tell me there's a good reason that "Cherub Rock" has received only *one* vote.  :o Add mine to it and go pick up "Siamese Dream" for a refresher course in rock!!  :)

I voted for 'Today.' I have a soft spot for 'Siamese Dreams' because; (a) it was the first SP album I bought, and (b) I associate the songs on Siamese Dreams with a particular period in my life (Graduating high-school.etc). While 'Mellon Collie' is a more sprawling, perhaps comprehensive work, I still think Siamese Dreams was the Pumpkins' best album.

The Smashing Pumpkins, I'd say, were the best band of the 90s.




Michael Hutchens of INXS said SP's were the GREATEST BAND IN THE WORLD.

Maybe not enough people have heard of it?  I know I haven't.  Or those that have probably didn't care for it in relation to other songs on the list.
