'Bullet with Butterfly Wings' has been named at #11 in Spinner.com list of 'Bad Songs by Good Bands': Still just a rat in a cage, and about as appealing: The signs were ominous when the Pumpkins released this skin-crawling lead single from their double album 'Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.' Billy Corgan's voice was always an acquired taste; on 'Bullet,' we just never got it.Source: www.spinner.com/2008/05/05/bad-songs-by-good-bands-no-11/ |

For real? Wow ... one of the biggest songs of the mid 90's that really seperated the Pumpkins and was an anthem for many teenagers ... thats a bad song? I don't understand it.
Thats a lame article. Not because its bagging the Pumpkins, but its always a persons opinion.
And they gave Should I Stay or Should I Go y the Clash number 1 ... WTF?!?!?

Hmm...if anything it's overplayed
Great song obviously and like you said Sunks, it is always just an opinion whenever Pumpkins bashing is about

Credit where credit is due - they consider SP to be a good band!

Perhaps I'm biased cause I love everything Billy does on some level but what a tosser. Just seems to go with the new mindset that something that the band's most popular is automatically their worst or crap.

This article is a load of drivvle on all accounts. I think this was written by the same person that trashes celebrities fashion sense in the 'New Idea'. Obviously accounts for their musical taste and knowledge - shallow. Most of these songs are quite credible...
Madonna is the exception. LOL

Meh... I don't really care too much for these sort of articles attempting to force feed me their opinions. However, while Bullet is a good song... there is something about it that makes it stand out from other Pumpkins songs and not necessarily in a good way. It could be because it's their most well-known song because I get the same feeling with Smells Like Teen Spirit for Nirvana.

People dont think when they make these lists. They just look to turn on bands that arent the flavor of the month anymore.
