are probably my favorites

I don't like Adore and think everything SP did after was pretty shit. Behold the Nightmare is my favorite from Adore I think.

Siamese Dream moved the %!÷: out of me!

I guess the point is diff'rent strokes..

I'll help out too. I have a lot of free office time late at night when I'm closing my bar.

Unfortunately, stip puts the new matches up in the morning when most of us are working diligently or sleeping peacefully.
Not criticizing, it just is what it is. Others will hopefully help too.

I had zero included in the b-sides, which means there is space for someone to nominate one more b-side, or one of the filler tracks I left off.

Also, if I could cut Aeroplane down to:


Meladori Magpie
Rotten Apples
Medellia of the Gray Skies
Tonite Reprise
God
Pennies
Ugly
Cherry
Set the Ray to Jerry
Clones
Destination Unknown
Transformer

I'd have a pretty fun little album

actually I just realized we could add against the 70s, so I'm going with that over Face of Love, which was inspired by this post

Pisces Iscariot is a lot better than I remember. I really just remembered Pissant, Frail and Bedazzled, Whir, and Landslide. There's a solid foundation of songs there besides those four.
