i'm going to add "dreams never end," and "leave me alone."

Munchkin? I think the guy's like 6'4. And I can't stand reading anymore of this crap about the Smashing Pumpkins being horrible. Yes, after Siamese Dream they started to decline, and perhaps the man is pretentious. But just going on probability, I would guess that Billy Corgan has got more musical talent in a single booger than is contained in most people's entire bloodline.

Poison Arrow by ABC. I fucking love that song, yet really dislike anything else that band ever did.

"Lost & Found (Over and Over Again)" - Clap Your Hands Say Yeah (their ONLY good song)

"Three Days" - Jane's Addiction (whoo when that guitar comes in, I ALWAYS get the goosebumps)

"Why Georgia" - John Mayer

"Dramamine" - Modest Mouse

"To Be Young (Is to Be Sad, Is to Be High)" - Ryan Adams

Lips Like Sugar: Echo and the Bunnymen

and a handfull of early Duran Duran.
Girls on film(night version)
Rio(night version)
Hungry like the Wolf
Hold back the rain(night version)

Not really the fault of the artist, but I enjoy some of those "String Tribute" albums that no name labels put out. Tool really lends itself to chamber music. I'd like to hear the chromatics on a slayer tribute.

He's always seemed like one of those megalomaniac types to me - that is, he's got massive amounts of talent compromised by total egotism and no ability to self-edit. The good Pumpkins stuff still blows my mind, but there's been a lot of filler over the years.
