Set the Ray to Jerry, Aeroplane Flies High, Marquis In Spades, Mouths of Babes...all great songs.

I must be missing something, thought we were talking SD? No? I'm lost.

I have no idea...I assumed since it was the only album he didn't mention by name he was talking about Mellon Collie. So I responded to that. I have no idea what was going on above that.

My mistake. I thought Vancouver was referring to Mellon Collie instead of SD

1-Siamese Dream

3- Mellon Collie
4- Gish

Siamese Dream, Adore, Mellon Collie, Machina, Gish, Pisces Iscariot

I was never really too crazy about Machina. The first half of the album is great but it just tends to drag towards the end. But Stand Inside Your Love and I Of The Mourning are classic SP. Machina II is probably better but the sound quality of mine is poor.

If you are ever inspired to listen to Machina again, break it up into 2 halves. The first time I tried it, I realized the second half has material just as strong as the first, it just gets bogged down since the album is so long.

I also like Machina II a bit better, too...maybe one day we will see a mastered release.

I know Billy kinda separated the album into two halves. The first half was the more poppier and accessible half and the second was the more experimental half. I just tend to listen to the first half more.
