Re:popular SP classics you dislike 4 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
Personally I like to think that there isn't a single bad SP song. ever. But I went through a stage where I wasn't keen on BWBW, 1979 and Tonight, Tonight because they were singles and other people I know seemed to know them without knowing who SP were.

I initially wasn't all that keen on TTW(MLI) but it's really growing on me at the moment.

Disarm
I love the song, but "Disarm Freak" at the Notts gig killed it for me

The trouble with bad covers is that when you hear the actual song again, it reminds you of the fags that made the awful cover and how much you hated it.

What's more, a lot of PATD's minions think it is their own song.

I think it's best to try and dissociate the covers from the original songs.


I haven't heard many covers of SP songs. Amy Lee's Zero was terrible. The only other one I can think of is Killradio's cover of Bodies which was actually very good - and their lead singer sings it with ferocity, something Billy wouldn't be able (or willing) to do now.

Well, in my opinion Perfect is the most weak classsic pumpkins song...it's OK in the sequence of Adore, but really, really lame...

I agree. I've never been a fan of Perfect very much.

Re:popular SP classics you dislike 4 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
yeah, i'm not a big Perfect fan either. i agree with Don- its ok on the album, but kind of lame otherwise.

i'm sad to admit though, it took me a moment to figure out what TTW (MLI) stood for in Micky C's post. awww, the shame of a pumpkin fan. haha

Re:popular SP classics you dislike 4 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
out of the popular singles(which this thread is for) that came out, the single song that i never really cared for was bullet with butterfly wings. when i go to see a show i dont want to here the same songs that are on the radio everyday for the past ten years. i hated when everyone was happy when they played it. it made my stomach turn.

galapogos is under rated. behold! the night mare and for martha are probably my favorites for being such beautiful songs lyrically and musically. the lyrics in This Time are genius, it almost makes me cry as for the machina and machina II albums are under rated.

thats my two cents.

I don't mind Take Me Down, I actually think it's one of James' better songs. But I know it's quite different, so I'm not surprised that some don't like it. haha

awww, poor James.

i like a couple of his songs, just not that one. it is one of his better ones though i suppose.

and actually i'm listening to A Night Like This right now so i don't hate all James.

There isn't a single bad song by the Pumpkins? What about "Towers of Rabble"? "Jesus Loves His Babies"? "Because You Are"? I mean I like most of what SP has recorded, but there are just some songs I can't stand. I find it hard to believe there isn't a single song, even one early demo out of the hundreds of songs they have recorded that you dislike.

I love Jesus Loves His Babies!

Bullet with Butterfly Wings is a song that I've never not liked.

I probably first heard it properly when I was listening to my friend's iPod, and I had a squizz at SP, and there was BWBW. I played it, and instantly thought "Ohhhhhhhhhhhh, THIS song!!"
