This is actually the song that got me listening to the Pumpkins. It's my angry song. I turn it up really loud and drive really fast if I'm pissed about something. I would say this is one of their most well known songs...Bad? Pfffftt...whatever. Billy Corgan and his voice still kick ass.

LMAO I do the same thing! Totally agree with ya!

Good Lord... how many of us out there are there?... I, too, discovered the Pumpkins because of this song and use it to assuage my rage. Wh knew?

Same. I love this song and what got me listening originally. I think it's all in the taste of the listener.

who came up with this?!?!
this is one of their best songs... and videos.....

adamat 5-13-2008
lol, my guess is next on the list there gonna say that 'Let It Be' is the worst song in the universe, due to what? oh its too long? the sad mistake of recording it live?
retards. did you ever listen to mellon collie, it's two disks and like 40 songs, there's no way anyone could listen to this and find this to be a BAD song on that album, there are pure noise rock songs on there... for real...
totally terrible list.

Obviously an attempt to get people to say "Nuh-uh!" so they will post comments. Well, I guess I fell for it. What a pathetic ruse.

Ok... this list officially fails at life. WAIF ME??? And this song is... bad?? If you're gonna make fun of SP, at least rip on them for Zeitgeist. I mean, seriously. Come on.

What about Billy Corgan's other band, Zwan? That was better than this?!?
This sounds like some 60's folk singer trying to write things about bands he doesn't listen to just to sound relevant.
Kevinat 5-13-2008
Christ almighty - I don't even have the energy to wrap my mind around why this song is on the list and argue. I whole-heartedly agree with the "WORST COUNTDOWN EVER" poster.
Michaelat 5-13-2008
...really? They have worse songs. This is one of the best.
Spinner, you fail at life.
Jennaat 5-13-2008
Lol, this list is ridiculous.
This song is amazing.
Juliaat 5-13-2008
OMG, One of my favorite songs by the Pumpkins!!! & I am a 37 year Latina. This list is freaking retarded! Ooops that's an insult to the mentally challenged 'cuz even they would know the difference between good and bad music better than whomever made this stupid list.
lc21at 5-13-2008
holy shit.
pure and total idiots.
who ever keeps putting "worst countdown ever" on here
your my new best friend.
spinner fuckin sux.
Thom Yorkeat 5-15-2008
Wow...I can't believe it... This list is still proving to shock me ever more at every turn.
At one time, the pumpkins were one of my favorite bands (if not my favorite), but nothing before "Adore" belongs on a bad song list. THis was the signature song on one of the best selling double-disc albums of all time (and frankly, a top 5 almbum of the 90s, bar none).
I can't wait to see what song comes up next...could he really beat November Rain and BWBW? What's it going to be? Hey Jude? Stairway to Heaven? Hey You? London Calling, perhaps?
Jillat 5-18-2008
This song rules! Let's put you, Spinner Staff, on the Top 20 Worst Reporters Ever list.
j4000at 6-08-2008
Wow, there are some great songs on this list! And yes, some bad ones too. But if this is an indication of the 'Spinner Staff's' taste in music, I need go no further on this site.
