    I can't believe gish is scoring so low... It offers an innocence that they lost on all albums after it.. anyway. less waffle:

    Melloncollie
    Siamese Dream
    Gish
    Adore
    [Machina II] (I include this becuase I think it was pretty groundbreaking to release it in the way they did - the first mp3 offical leak by a platinum selling artist?, it also shows different perspectives of songs which really gives you an inight into Corgan's composition, orchestraion etc.)
    Machina
    Zeitgeist

    Siamese Dream
    Mellon Collie...
    Gish
    Machina II (it won't be released on disc, anyone can stream or download it from http://www.archive.org, and Speed Kills, Glass' Theme, Cash Car Star, In My Body, Home, Dross, Lucky 13, and Let Me Give The World To You would make a stronger album than Adore, Machina, and Zeitgiest.)
    Adore - good writing, bad arrangements and production
    Machina - Three, maybe four, good songs, the rest are crap.
    Zeitgiest - Aweful production, boring songs. United States is the only redeaming factor here.

    I'm with you. Spot on. Pisces Iscariot is like one of those hidden gem albums, kinda like Blind Melon's Nico.

    Gish
    Zeitgeist
    Adore
    Machina

    I did not include pisces because i always was under the impression it was a b side album from gish & siamese. I generally don't include those as proper albums. Like i don't list lost dogs when i'm listing my fav pearl jam albums. I do love pisces though :)

    Siamese Dream
    Mellon Collie
    *huge gap*
    Adore
    Machina
    Gish
    *even bigger gap*
    Zeitgeist

    I'm also going to use this as a way of expressing how fucking bad Zeitgeist is and how disappointing it is. I was excited when I heard about it, then I listened to it and felt almost depressed.

    Also, Siamese Dream is one of my all time favourite albums. Man, it's so good.

    Siamese Dream
    Melon Collie
    Pisces Iscariot
    Gish

    ...and everything after Melon Collie mostly a letdown with some redeeming qualities.

    On the flip side Zwan was the balls. If it were a Pumpkins album I'd slip it in at #2. You heard me right.
