Yeah Adore gets way too much hate. It's really the last above average SP record.

Does this have something to do with them being their most popular songs? Those are great songs and highlights from the album, they just suffer from radio overplay. Which contrary to popular opinion, does NOT make good songs bad.

The two I mentioned, for me, have nothing to do with their popularity. I just never liked them. I always thought Bullet With Butterfly Wings was ok but I admit I like it a bit less now from having heard it so much. It's almost become a cliche. And while radio overplay does not make a song good or bad (one would be silly to think so), it can affect your enjoyment of it in a big way.

Tonight Tonight and 1979 are still among my favorite tracks on the album. I mean of all the Mellon Collie songs why pick those out? Are they really worse than We Only Come Out at Night and Love?

I just consider it one of the weaker tracks on the album. But I don't really hate any songs off of Mellon in particular. IMO it's the best double album ever made.

This coming from a prog fan? That's awesome...I agree totally. Though I still like Siamese Dream a bit better.

I could ask you the same about We Only Come Out at Night and Love, both of which I do like better.

I only have the first three albums, but my favorites off of each are 'Bury Me' (love the bass line), 'Geek U.S.A.' (love the guitar in general), and '**** You (An Ode To No One)' (love the intro) respectively...

An excellent band but damn, why did they have to make SO many ballads?
