I know that it's a long list and a tough call, but what is your favorite sinlge ('greatest hit') above all? It's hard to choose ONE instead of all of them, but I'm gonna go for Tonight, Tonight anyway :)
You can also say which is your least favorite on the list. Some people are gonna hate me for this, but I don't really like Untitled.

I had to go with BwBw, despite how unoriginal it is, its simply is an almost perfect song, it realy is, it isnt popular for no reason.
I got Bolly spit on me :D

i agree that bwbw is almost a perfect song.. the first time i heard that chorus, i was so blown away... but tonight, tonight still gives me chills each time I listen to it.. especially that climax near the end with those violins going wild and jimmy kicking and beating like mad... :o

Well since everyones voting I went with Siva because I love all the real fat, smooth fuzz rock for people who know what I mean, i.e Geek, Quiet, still love all their other tunes but this just stands out for me.

Also a mad one to play all way through on guitar especially if your best friend know it to.

I went for 33 because I love the video so much (why this song wasn't included on Rotten Apples; i'll never know), but I could have easily chosen any other song.

I don't know why i chose Walking Shade, i just think it deserves some credit. Personally its the only song i liked form his solo album. But other than that BwBw is quite perfect, along with Tonight Tonight and 1979.

I agree, i loved how fuzzy and psychadelic they were in the earlier years. I can't wait to get my fuzz pedal for my guitar to replicate some of their tones.

I personally think that Walking Shade is one of the weakest songs on TFE... I like Mina Loy so much more, and I honestly think that TheCameraEye is one of Billy's best songs ever. He sould've released it as a single

Yeah I thought Billy would have released Camera Eye as a single as well. Anyway I think Rocket was the best single.

today was also the first sp song I ever heard :) it was quite strange, but I wasn't immediatly in love with it... it took me like half a year to really get into sp, kinda strange actually. but ever since they've been my favorite band ever ofcourse

I got into them by downloading their songs, i think it was in 2002... *ashamed* the first songs I ever heard were today, disarm and take me down.. I didn't even like disarm in the beginning, it seems so stupid now :)

the first album I ever bought was siamese dream, but I had previously copied Mellon Collie from a friend of mine *ashamed again*, but I threw away the copy and bought the album after a year or so.
