It's hard to put into words what seeing this band was like. I took my daughter to the OKC show on Saturday, and she was blown away. She only knew three songs going in, but her favorite of the night ended up being "Edin."

​I hardly took any pictures, and I didn't take any videos. I just sat there and soaked everything in. It was an incredible experience. I couldn't get over how good they sounded and how great Billy's extended guitar solo at the end of "Porcelain" was. This music still feels as fresh and new to me today as the day I first discovered it 30 years ago.

​I cannot remember the last time I went to a concert that lasted three hours, yet it didn't feel that long at all.

​As soon as we got in the van for the ride home, my daughter put together a playlist of the songs we had just bore witness to. She now wants to learn more about this wonderful band.

The visuals for this tour are absolutely stunning and add a great deal to the experience of the show. Kudos to Linda Strawberry for your work. The song title images are particularly iconic, and worth compiling and admiring, much like the MCIS lyric book. Surely there will be tattoos to be had from this art! Let's compile them together!

Those title images were only flashed for a few seconds before disappearing, so they were hard to catch. I got a picture of most of them, and a few did not have a title image, but there are a few missing and some could be a lot better. If you have any pictures of them (or screenshots from videos) that are better and/or more complete than these please leave them in the comments. All of these are cropped at 4:5 fyi.

1979 - missing

BWBW - missing

Cupid De Locke - missing

MCIS - no title image?

I feel like since Oceania, SP has been moving forward by looking back — maybe tackling unfinished business — but one stone that remains unturned is Billy working with James, or James contributing songs to their records again. I love Iha’s guitar work on Black Stars but would love to hear his songs make a comeback (the Tinted Windows post reminded me how good he is!)

Pisces Iscariot - July 17, 2012 2CD+DVD+Cassette (MSRP $54.98)

Adore - September 23, 2014 6CD+DVD (MSRP $99.98)

Machina - October 10, 2026 5CD (MSRP $100.00)

While we had to wait 12 years between the Adore and Machina CD box sets, the CD box sets of the classic catalog have finally all been released.

Gish & Siamese Dream coming out the same day and being so reasonably priced was very cool. Big price jump for Pisces Iscariot and many didn't seem to care about the cassette, although my appreciation for the cassette has grown in recent years.

Mellon Collie was very polarizing. Massive jump in price, although it was in a larger format, included a book, etc. I think this was the only one I pre-ordered at a discount site to save money instead of paying full price at an independent record store.

The backlash was heard loud and clear though, resulting in 6CD+DVD boxes at only $99.98 for The Aeroplane Flies High and Adore.

When you figure in inflation, $100 isn't terrible for the Machina box, although it really should have had the Metro DVD since all of the other box sets came with a DVD. I know Billy mentioned in a recent interview that the Metro DVD may finally be coming out, but it really belonged in this box IMO.

For those of us who bought all of these boxes as they came out over the last 15 years, I thought it might be fun to reminisce. Would love to hear anybody's memories about any of these boxes coming out over the years!

This is the fifth track from the Smashing Pumpkins’ debut album, *Gish*. How do you feel about this song? What are some of your favorite lyrics? How would you rank it among the rest of the band’s discography? How would you rate it out of 10 (decimals allowed)?

At the end of this discussion series, I will be aggregating the rating results from each discussion and compiling a full discography ranking. I will also update the [spreadsheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BjhHzZuZ6BMVOvdMp4i9X2UDVRjtotWGxTZTk1xJ9KU/edit?usp=drivesdk) at the end of every day and post previous results for each album in future posts.

SUGGESTED SCALE:
1-4: Not good. Regularly skip.
5: It’s okay, but I might have to be in the right mood to listen to it.
6: Slightly better than average. I won’t skip it, but I wouldn’t choose to put it on.
7: This is a good song. I enjoy it quite a bit.
8-9: Really enjoyable songs. I rank them pretty high overall.
10: Masterpiece, magnum opus, or similar terminology.

Feel free to suggest any improvements, as this is my first time undertaking a project like this!

Gish

1. I Am One (7.43)
2. Siva (7.65)
3. Rhinoceros (8.58)
4. Bury Me (7.87)

I purchased the VIP ticket (the ultimate Mellon collie experience)
I was hoping someone could help me out as I was wondering when you got the details for the acoustic set and the q&a as i don’t have any details sent to me and the show I’m attending is in one week
So if someone can help me here that would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Preston

Anyone know where I can buy the song Zeitgeist? I somehow never got it.
