Bad Songs by Good Bands: No. 11

'Bullet With Butterfly Wings'
--Smashing Pumpkins (1995)

Still just a rat in a cage, and about as appealing: The signs were ominous when the Pumpkins released this skin-crawling lead single from their double album 'Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.' Billy Corgan's voice was always an acquired taste; on 'Bullet,' we just never got it.

I discovered the smashing pumpkins from the song disarm but i still love bullet with butterfly wings... bad countdown... you should really ask '90's kids to do countdowns like this instead of kids born in the '90's.

I'm a huge Pumpkin fan, this isn't one of my favourites. If I never heard it again, I wouldn't feel I'm missing anything. It's the obvious single. Also, to whoever, Tarantula is a great song and if it had been on Mellon Collie, everyone would say it's a classic. Siamese Dream people. Go listen NOW.

Okay. WHO'S THE CLOWN BEHIND THIS LIST?

Smashing Pumpkins kick ass! Their stuff from ZEITGEIST should make the list. Not this classic.
