Excellent choices! I should make one too but with just keep it to 10 songs I´m afraid there will be alot of "Kill Your Darlings" moments...

[MindRuler]

Now this is going to be really tough...

QUEENSRYCHE (Tate era)
In no particular (rage for)order...
Eyes Of A Stranger
Walk In The Sadows
Jet City Woman
Empire
I Don´t Believe In Love
En Force
Breaking The Silence
Best I Can
Revolution Calling

Yes, no songs from the EP or post Empire...

 

[Kill Devil Hill]

The Smashing Pumpkins
1. Mayonaise
2. Siva
3. Ava Adore
4. Stand Inside Your Love
5. Soma
6. Obscured
7. Snail
8. Porcelina of the Vast Oceans
9. Geek USA
10. X.Y.U.

This one was tough because they have so many interesting textures, and I find it hard to prioritize their best vs most interesting. I also mentally tie some songs together (Porcelina/Ruby, Crush/Suffer/Snail, Soma/Geek USA/Mayonaise). Even though Billy Corgan is a nut job, this band deserves credit for trying to push boundaries every album imo.

Not a Smashing Pumpkins fan outside of their big hits, but now you got me curious — if you were going to group together those songs, what would your list look like then?

 

[Deleted member 7164]

This is extemely difficult but let's give it a try.

Dogs
One of these days
Sorrow
Shine on pt1
Time
Sheep
Shine on pt2
Pigs
Marooned
Childhood's end

Well now it’ll look like I’m cheating by sneaking some songs on but the way TSP styles their albums, some textures just kind of run into each other and intensifies the dynamic. That’s why I love Gish — each song flows pretty perfectly into one another. I was able to separate Mayonaise from Soma/Geek just because that’s just obviously their best song.

1. Mayonaise
2. Crush/Suffer/Snail
3. Siva
4. Ava Adore
5. Porcelina of the Vast Oceans/Thru the Eyes of Ruby
6. Stand Inside Your Love
7. Soma/Geek USA
8. Obscured
9. X.Y.U.
10. Save Your Tears

I wish I could showcase their shoegazey side (1979/This Time/Try Try Try/Perfect) since I actually think it’s their biggest strength (as much as I love the grunge metal, the cinematic mix of hard guitar and shoegaze, and the out-of-the-box tunes, they’re definitely messier).

Pretty cool picks, Avalon needs to be higher though. I definitely need to try that as well.

No Carolina IV ?

 

[Shmoolikipod]

I felt it's kind of predictable, but I mean that's kind of what happens when you're on the last album I hear. I always wonder what would happen if I went through the discography in a different order... Though that kind happens after I take a break from a band and hear it again with fresh ears.

 

[Dityn DJ James]

Glad to see love for Heal Me. Such an underrated heavy metal song.
