Which are your favorite Billy Corgan-written songs since the Smashing Pumpkins revival?
Which are your favorite Billy Corgan-written songs since the Smashing Pumpkins revival?
good poll
there’s a few of those I havn’t heard so couldn’t vote for
done!
very interesting pool jjb :)
A lot of songs I’ve never heard of. Maybe there are Backwards Clock Society songs? Any links to those unreleased ones, like Emerald Green Is the Colour, Make It Happen, or Shadowland?
Voted for “The Rose March,” “BTL,” “99 Floors,” “A Stitch in Time” and “Gossamer.”
It just figures that Corsage in Flames and Choose to Choose Love would be the last ones without any votes, since I’m unaware of anyone who likes them except me…but I didn’t vote for them :( They deserve better!
Tom Tom, Emerald Green, 99 Floors, Stellar, & Gossamer were the best ones on there IMO
Gossamer, Tarantula, Rose March, Ma Belle, Stellar, Death from Above, 7 Shades of Black, 99 Floors, When the Cocks Crow, and Freak were my votes
Also, do we have full recordings of Corsage in Flames or Orpheus Descending?
I’ve been surprised Caroline, Yes doesn’t get more love. Hauntingly beautiful, dark, lonely, tragic, basically an adore song.
@Pumpkinseeds: I agree about Caroline, Yes! I’m praying that’ll make the cut for Teargarden..it’s been in my top 3 since 2007 for sure!
Where does Corsage in Flames come from??
I voted for…99 Floors, As Rome Burns, Gossamer, The Rose March, Tom Tom, Make it Happen, Circular Change, Lonely is the Name, A Stitch in Time and Song for a Son.
Here is info on Corsage in Flames…

speaking of new songs, anyword when the new tbk song is going to be released?
4th of July?
Well I’m am hoping it’s sooner than 4th of July. Astral Planes was released 16th April which is nearly 8 weeks ago. Billy said in the recent interview that each song will be available every 4-6 weeks. So I wonder what the delay is. I am trying to be patient but it’s hard sometimes.
So in a semi-related note. What is the best quality/sounding Spirits in the Sky show to download?
Everything I’ve heard has really LOW audio and sounds like it was recorded in someone’s pocket.
August 26th and August 27th are quite good. I downloaded it at livearchive.
Thanks HU for this survey! The results have surprised me a bit… There are some songs which people REALLY criticised when they were released, but which are scoring well and others which people gushed about, but which are going badly… It makes me wonder what the results would be like if people could only vote for one song: Is Gossamer an absolute favourite or just something from people’s top ten?
Thanks for all your other good work too!
@MAKO
Got a link – I can’t get Spirits in the Sky to come up on a search of that site!
THANKS!
billy needs to devote more time to making me happy. give my all your songs billy.
What is the song Billy Corgan sings with an acoustic guitar while wearing his nightie in If It All Goes Wrong? I vote for that one.
It’s here: http://www.archive.org/details/bc2009-08-27.dab.flac16 and there: http://www.archive.org/details/bc2009-08-26.dab.flac16
Billy Corgan I personally suggest you release more Teargarden By Kaleidyscope tracks before I am resurrected in the zombie apocalypse. If not I will be feasting your brains first.
I didn’t see it until after I voted, but Communion is amazing– only made a brief appearance during the latter shows in 08.
Thanks MAKO!
I owe you a drink or at least a basket of fries or something. Coming to Richmond or Norfolk?
@Spumkins33: I’m from Germany so… no.
But, Coming to Hamburg?
Sorry MAKO…
I do need to visit Germany soon, but will not be able to make the Hamburg show. Thanks for everything!
They all suck IMO, bully lost his touch about halfway through the mellon collie album, and pushed the suck button, and hasnt turned it off ever since.
