    It might be my favorite Pumpkin song. It never gets old. You're right, that's a heavenly solo.

    Pumpkins B-Sides are as good as A-Sides.
    Love Drown!

    Such an awesome song, one of my favorites from them and I love the guitar as well.

    Good tune.

    I gotta say the riffs on Geek USA and Ode To No One kick my ass more though.

    the whole album is just plain incredible. I can't believe I never really realized it when it came out. I had it and everything, but I just never thought much about smashing pumpkins until like, I dunno, 6-8 years ago...

    Yep, same with me...I didn't start listening to them until '02 or so.

    A beautiful song.Their best without doubt.Worked really well on the Singles soundtrack.
    I only ever saw them play it live once.It was at the Glasgow Barrowlands on 18th September 93.Towards the end of the set they launched into it.I thought my heart was going to stop I was so excited.It would have been a wonderful time to die if it had.Luckily I was able to continue to be obsessed by the Pumpkins.But in my mind they would never sound greater than that night.

    It's my favorite Smashing Pumpkins song

    I have nothing to say that the others didn't, but this song is so great I thought I would post anyways :D
    Stone Gossard...riffmeister extraordinaire!

    This and Mayonaise are their best songs IMO.

    I love this track.

    I too love this track. First time i heard it was way back in the day when i purchased the singles soundtrack.

    I also agree that Mayo is all sorts of awesome too :)
