Something had to come last, and I suppose there would be a lot of people who don't even know about Pisces Iscariot, I'm not saying you guys don't ! I'm just saying that a lot of people will have voted for MCIS because it could be the only album they've heard.

Pisces is damn good, so I don't see why it had to come last. Just because it doesn't fit the usual "album" category, it doesn't mean that it's not as good as anything else that the Pumpkins ever released.

However, a poll like that isn't all about quality...it's more about exposure, I guess.

Pisces... isn't actually an album, just a collection of outtakes and b-sides

Yeah, but it can easily be considered as good as an album and in a sense the same sort of thing, but then Judas 0 should be in there too, I bloody love that cd!

Sorry - y'know when you're really tired, you get to a certain point where you go hyper... I'm there :billy

Ooh ive had many a long nights hustling and bustling over this back in the day.

PI is the outtakes and B-sides cd to the Gish\Siamese Dream era.

J0 is the outtakes and B-sides cd to MCIS, Adore and Machina.

SP have so far only had 5 albums commercially released by thier record label. Despite being contracted for 7.

Oh, no, sorry, I knew that, reckon well did, but I just mean that PI is so good, it could be considered an album, or of album greatness, y'know... nevermind lol.

They all rock ok ! :)

honestly i love PI. Frail and bedazzled and pissant, are some of my favorites. And I've yet to hear a solo anywhere comparable to Starla. Agreed, i don't know how it came in last. but yea exposure was probably a big part of it. :darcy

It looks like Machina is in the lead now. I like Machina. :(

We all know that Pisces and Judas O are full of B-sides, but they're cohesive enough that they could be albums, which is why we regard them in that sense.

Wonderful definition Avalon, I voted Adore, just because I just love them all, but I admit I listen to Adore the least, although it is one of the most beautiful records it has ever been my pleasure to listen to, and some of the songs mean so much to me and mark landmarks in my own life, but the same is to be said with other SP albums... sigh, I Love them :heart

I honestly prefer PI before Machina but i'm addict to MCIS, Adore, Siamese, TAFH so no room left for Machina or PI :billy

To be completely honest, drum machines piss me off, i sometimes struggle through some tracks on adore, the songwriting is briliant, dont get me wrong, but i felt they lost a massive part of what made them great when jimmy left.
I got Bolly spit on me :D

I don't mind drum processing if it's done well. Adore is a prime example of good usage of electronic percussion. More importantly, the way organic drums were mixed in along with it (at very appropriate points in each track...or not at all) is excellent.
