"Still just a rat in a cage, and about as appealing: The signs were ominous when the Pumpkins released this skin-crawling lead single from their double album 'Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.' Billy Corgan's voice was always an acquired taste; on 'Bullet,' we just never got it"

Bullet isn't my favorite song but it's far from being a "bad" song in my opinion.

Other strange choice are on the list ;
November rain, Rape Me, Should i stay or should i go...

BWBW was a great song when it came out, but as time passes it's just another song that was overplayed...so it is now hard to listen to because of that reason.

that realy pisses me off. i love that song.

Chrismastime is ranked 10th worst chrimas song...

Christmastime is an awesome Christmas song; its got so much innosence in it it really is lovely. Granted there are many better Christmas songs, but I dont think creepy. I dont think these guys get Billy haha

Also BWBW is without doubt one of the most popular pumpkins songs. Even people I know who dont like the band will confess to thinking that song is pretty cool; and I actually think his singing is more tollerable on that than say Zero.

Who ever wrote those ridiculous countdowns either have no taste in music and shouldn't be working for Spinner, or they are just wanting some publicity. No one in their right mind would call BWBW a bad song. Overplayed, maybe, but still great.
And I agree with Shame, they obiviously don't get Billy if they think Christmastime is creepy.

I will kill anyone who said Rape Me. That's a Nirvana classic. In Utero kick major ass. But I do agree somewhat with BWBW. I don't particularly like it, but it's still a decent Mellon Collie song. Much better songs there.

bullsh*t.

that is all i have to say about it. bwbw is a good song, a little overplayed yes, but still a kick ass song, and christmastime, good song.

they don't know what in the heck they are talking about, for one, all of the songs you mentioned are good, november rain? wtf? that is a good song.

christmastime is a good song....so is BWBW...so are 99% of their songs.

BWBW is a great song. Can't really say it's one of my favourite Pumpkins songs- but then I can't say that about many of their songs as I love the majority of them so the list would just be too long.
I'm surprised someone could say they don't like BWBW naming Billy's vocals as a reason but still say they like the Pumpkins.

Christmastime is a good song too. I never pay much attention to those lists, and the BWBW one just proves how nonsensical they tend to be.

Christmastime: Shit
This list: Absolute SHIT

BWBW: Not brilliant, but definitely not bad either.

I can't believe how bad this countdown is.

Should I Stay or Should I Go,
Roses,
Rape Me,
Beverly Hills,

and

Who Are You???

Of all the Pumpkins singles, they picked BWBW? It's not bad! Not great in the scope of things, sure, but man oh man, I agree with whomever said the list compiler has horrible taste in "bad" songs.

I also hate that everyone calls Weezer's "Beverly Hills" a "bad" song. It's freaking catchy, it's got a cool riff, it's tongue in cheek! Shame to those who don't get Rivers Cuomo's humor.

Yeha, and it's stupid that "Rape Me" is on the list simply because it's "begging to be misinterpreted"

whoever did those countdowns is dumbass a clearly deaf dumbass who doesn't know good music when they hear it

what a freaking moron. "hey look at me im hip, im calling bwbw and november rain bad songs because it will make me sound important yay!"

seriously, bwbw isnt the greatest song ever, but it is a very good song that helped sell millions of records. just because it was overplayed and way popular doesnt mean that its a bad song. thats not the song's fault. are we gonna say that let it be by the beatles is a horrible song just because it was popular? this guy is a total douche.
