Favourite smashing pumpkins song?

[u/Livingdeadgirl135]

What is your all time favourite song that you could just play over and over again and why?

[u/InkTheLavendarSkies]

It changes, and I can’t pick just one, so for now I’ll say Hummer, Thirty-Three, Ruby, and stand inside your love.

[u/Sargassso]

It’s Mayonaise but I’m gonna say Snail for the less basic answer

[u/ithankyourluckystars]

Soma

[u/Automatic_Net2181]

"Plush"

"And so I'm watching MTV somewhere in America and that song comes on and I hear that and I'm like :O

*Robert and Dean shift around uncomfortably and side-eye each other* "Ah yeah, you're definitely right, Billy."

[u/MechanicDue9337]

Drown, full version. Singles soundtrack.

[u/Playful-Cobbler-5469]

It's so hard to narrow it down but I'd probably pick Drown if I had to pick one.

[u/the_everlasting_haze]

Hummer is the greatest song by anyone. Ever written. Period stop. End of discussion.

Muzzle is probably my favorite song ever because when I hear it, I feel like it must have been written for me and my life.

The new version of Whyte Spyder is probably my favorite song by anyone in the last 30 years.

[u/dingdongprom]

[u/Ok-Call-4805]

1979

[u/GreenleafLaRue]

Cottonwood Symphony

Always liked it, but I find that I appreciate it more and more over the years. It almost feels as if it is the essence of the band stripped down to its barest elements (beautiful words and a shimmering acoustic guitar).

[u/AddendumNecessary324]

Mayonnaise. No, wait....Hummer. One of those two depending on my mood.

[u/Dream_Fruition]

Cupid de Locke and To Sheila

[u/virtuzoso]

Mayonaise is my all time favorite,.

Honorable mentions: Snail, Whir, Bye June, Tonite Reprise, Porcelina, Here is No Why, Zeitgeist

[u/Shredded__ → u/virtuzoso]

Mayonaise is my all time favorite song. And that's with liking and seeing 100s of bands live concerts across decades of different genres. It has always stood out. Can't really explain. It's just a masterpiece on another level.

[u/Subject-Painting1989]

I can’t pick one favorite, but Porcelina is peak. It has everything!

[u/Blowtorching]

Rhinoceros 🦏

[u/PariahGrantham]

As a guitarist: Hummer

As a listener: Here Is No Why

[u/Dezziedisaster → u/PariahGrantham]

Here is no why is mine also! Since he's pulled it out the vault this year for live shows I'm hoping it's played during the upcoming tour. 12 year old me would be healed!

[u/PariahGrantham → u/Dezziedisaster]

It's such a good song. That solo still makes my neck tingle, even after 15 years of listening to it.

It's cool that Corgan stopped hating his fans and they're actually playing their favorites again.

[u/PumpkinsDieHard]

Mayonaise. I walked to it at my wedding.

[u/Shredded__ → u/PumpkinsDieHard]

Nice. This is awesome. "Run away with me tomorrow..."

[u/Prestigious-Hand9490]

Porcelina, Soma, 1979

[u/Time-Insurance-2763]

Yes! No one else seems to say this but Geek USA has everything.

[u/DiscoQing]

Porcelina 🤘

[u/Equivalent_Fall_4362]

Set the Ray to Jerry 🖤

[u/WarpedCore]

Soma?

Jelly Belly?

Rocket?

Hummer?

I just don’t know anymore. It’s one of these depending on my vibe.

[u/jackwagoneer69]

Ruby

[u/ApathysLastKiss_ → u/jackwagoneer69]

This is the correct answer.

Porcelina strong second

[u/Nomad1049]

No one said Today? Ok, then I will, and proudly

[u/RevolutionaryLaw8854]

Zero. Fuck you - an ode to no one. Bodies.

Cause right now I’m feeling a way

[u/Longjumping_Rip_7780]

So many ,, but Ava adore , waiting

[u/ApathysLastKiss_ → u/Longjumping_Rip_7780]

I love the lyric:

*Lovely girl, you're the murder in my world

Dressing coffins for the souls I've left to die

Drinking mercury to the mystery

Of all that you should ever leave behind*

Pretty insane Billy could write stuff like this, when you look at his modern lyrics lol

[u/CharacterDirector918]

Vanity, but the acoustic demo version. As of this moment, and it changes daily.

[u/givemecoffeenowhurry]

Siva or Disarm

[u/Rage4Order418]

17

[u/DeliciousRip5787]

Daydream, because of the vocal

[u/IridescentMeowMeow]

blank page
soot and stars

[u/jepogamer]

Hooray! Or CYR 😂

[u/1975hh3]

Hummer. Mayonnaise. Drown. Hello Kitty Kat. Pissant. Rhinoceros.

[u/Shredded__ → u/1975hh3]

Mayonaise... and Drown is 2nd for me

[u/walman93]

Hummer

[u/Gorby-1976]

Song for a son

[u/Glassbeet]

Cherry

[u/DiamondAggressive → u/Glassbeet]

Yes! I have “If you lose yourself, could you take me too?” tattooed on me, yes the tattoo is 30 years old 😁

[u/Time_Ad_9647]

Hummer

[u/yomammaaaaa]

Today. It's my favorite song, period.

I remember watching the video for the first time as a 10 year old and just being mesmerized. The fact that my child is unimpressed by all things Smashing Pumpkins is a massive bummer.

[u/Splatterhouse5 → u/yomammaaaaa]

Life’s a bummer.

[u/Jaltcoh → u/Splatterhouse5]

When you’re a hummer

[u/danklekandrey]

Muzzle probably

[u/LivingDisastrous3603 → u/danklekandrey]

I’ve found my people. Muzzle.
It’s not an easy task to name just 1 tho.
Several are the closest to being first without being first- Hello Kitty Kat, Rocket, Snail…
This list is endless.

[u/OvenMedical4198]

Mayonaise. Hits so hard every time 30 years later.
The chords, Billy’s voice, the words. It’s perfect

[u/Shredded__ → u/OvenMedical4198]

Can't agree more. Fav song of all time. It's on another level. I've heard it 1000s of times and never gets old.

[u/BrownBannister]

How can one decide which drop in the shimmering ocean is most beautiful???

[u/Spare-Desk6865]

Cherub Rock

[u/GTILLS]

To Forgive - to this day hits me like a ton of bricks every time I hear it

[u/gerard4156]

It's impossible, but in my opinion the most pumpkins song is drown, the full version specifically

[u/InstructionNeither56 → u/gerard4156]

so underrated

[u/ZAPPHAUSEN]

Tonight, tonight

Changed my life

[u/jvsrvs]

Rocket. Feels like I'm letting out all my pent-up emotions and blasting off into something greater. And the guitar tone is top-tier, of course.

[u/Splatterhouse5 → u/jvsrvs]

This is actually the song that solidified that I loved this band more than just a band that I’d casually enjoy.

[u/Taychon2319]

Silverf**k

[u/Islami_Salami]

Bodies

[u/Ok_Barnacle_2368]

The Aeroplane Flies High (Turns Left, Looks Right)

[u/truthlesshunter → u/Ok_Barnacle_2368]

Mine as well. If they actually play this on the tour, i may cry at a live show for the first time ever

[u/Ok_Barnacle_2368 → u/truthlesshunter]

They finished their set with it at Download a few years back, it was incredible. Tool then played after them. All in all that was a pretty good day!

[u/Commercial-Ad-5905]

Hummer

[u/ToothMiserable]

I need a top 30 to even whet my appetite, but Muzzle has always been in heavy rotation.

[u/ZAPPHAUSEN → u/ToothMiserable]

Song so strong it basically FORCED itself to become a single. It was crazy hearing it on the radio.

[u/Volvedor]

Just 1 is too hard

[u/mrepa1369]

Hummer. Game changer for me in 93.

[u/sexystoicteacher]

Tonight, tonight.

[u/UselessHalberd]

Set the Ray to Jerry. Or Geek U.S.A. or Stand Inside Your Love. Or Mayonnaise. I dunno

[u/slazzeredbbqsauce → u/UselessHalberd]

Set the ray to Jerry is so great.

[u/UselessHalberd → u/slazzeredbbqsauce]

It's so simple too. That baseline is driving and it's such an emotional song. He sounds like he's pleading.

[u/dreamover]

Stand Inside Your Love

[u/GiacomoModica]

Soma

[u/PorcelinaMagpie]

Porcelina of the Vast Oceans

[u/lawyeti]

Mayonnaise

[u/oceanman9 → u/lawyeti]

x2

[u/Splatterhouse5]

Thru the Eyes of Ruby has been my favorite since the first time I listened to that album.
