@Loganflowerchild Thanks!

@zoziosawakening I like the title track but I feel like it drags on a bit too long.

[maalbe987]

@zoziosawakening I just realized I forgot to take track order into consideration. I'll remember that when I do the next installment of this.

[zoziosawakening]

@zoziosawakening Dunno about running order, although the song Mellon Collie, Tonight, Tonight and Jellybelly makes a fine opening in my opinion. I might want to end with Thirty-Three, or Thirty-Three and then By Starlight. I think I'd keep 1979 down around the third quarter, just so there's a slightly more energetic song towards the end of the album, and possibly even do the same with Zero. One of the mellower tracks, move up to after Jellybelly.

[zoziosawakening]

For the record I don't think there's a bad song on Mellon Collie, and I'm happy with it as a double album, but paring it down to half the tracks, my personal inclusions would be the following: Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. Tonight, Tonight. Jellybelly. Bullet With Butterfly Wings. Zero. Fuck You (An Ode to No One). Cupid de Locke. Porcelina of the Vast Oceans. Thirty-Three. 1979. Stumbeline. Beautiful. Lily (My One And Only). By Starlight.

I never thought about that before, a double album into a single...nothing comes time mind right away, but I'll think on it and let you know. Thanks for the thought-provoking and entertaining piece; as if I know anything about smashing pumpkins, but I'll completely agree with your choices...
