That's a good question. I would like to do it one day. I think I did a top 11 on the O-boards, and I couldn't even rank them aside from Tonight, Tonight.

08. Blissed And Gone

12. Disarm
13. The Last Song
14. Stand Inside Your Love
15. Bodies
16. Pug
17. The Fellowship
18. Bleeding the Orchid
19. Muzzle
20. Age of Innocence
21. Quiet
22. Glynis

28. Speed Kills (SIYL single version)

Your list is pretty good. I'm surprised by how high up Obscured is. I'm glad you found a spot for Farewell and Goodnight but what about For Martha and Behold the Nightmare!? They're too good to be omitted! Also, kudos for putting Home so high up, that song is pure class.[/quote:D ]

The week after Oceania comes out we better see a list from you :)
I know I wanted to include all three of them but only ended up choosing Blank Page because it was my favorite out of the three. For Martha was an extremely hard one to cut. I had to include Home, it would be a crime for me not to include it on the list.

Well it's all subjective right? Everyone ranks the song differently and on a different day I might rank them differently. XYU and Drown are great songs, don't get me wrong. They might have ended up on the list on another day or if I was considering just pre-2000 stuff. I kind of started out with a list of songs I liked the most from each era and went from there. I'm admittedly not even sure of the ranking I gave .I tried to give my best estimate of how I felt in the moment, but who knows. But XYU and Drown are not in my top 10 for sure, even though I think they are great songs.

I thought of putting Blank Page and Home too. I like Behold! The Night Mare as well, it's hard. Obscured as well. I contemplated putting With Every Light and Raindrops and Sunshowers on there as well (I know that's not a favorite of some, but I liked both of those songs).

Ye i fully understand. Wasnt having a pop. Its like, imnot a big fan of machina at all. So that would change orders and rankings. Suppose with every pumpkins album being unique, everyone has their personal preference with the pumpkins sound

Yeah I understand. Right, in contrast I really love Adore and Machina, so that really impacted my rankings. At the same time, I contemplated putting songs like Soma, I Am One, Set the Ray To Jerry, Starla, even Thru The Eyes of The Ruby (which is much further down on the list) etc at #2 instead of Let Me Give the World To You. I think it really depends on my mood. There were times where I would have even put The Last Song or Glynis in my top 5. Sometimes I like Blissed And Gone better than Let Me Give The World To You and Wound would be much higher up if it was The Arising version. I guess I'm all over the place lol. The only constant for me I think is knowing that Tonight, Tonight is my favorite SP song and probably always will be.

A week after Oceania comes out? Errr....I'll try! :D
You're obliged to pretend respect for people and institutions you think absurd. You live attached in a cowardly fashion to moral and social conventions you despise, condemn, and know lack all foundation. It is that permanent contradiction between your ideas and desires and all the dead formalities...
