No arguing!
10. Shame
Adore is my least favourite SP record and it's songs like Shame that really killed it for me. 6:40 of insipid guitars, flatline drums and "Sha-sha-sha-shame!" I started yawning as soon as I started listening to it just now. ZZZ.
9. Blew Away
This is a real Iha misstep. It shows promise for about five seconds but then its true identity is revealed as a limp, lifeless and not worth your time outtake that Pisces Iscariot wouldn't have missed in the slightest.
8. Lucky 13
Oh, the false drama! I can almost taste it! The parallel detuned guitar and squealy keyboard melody is especially hard to swallow.
7. The Crying Tree Of Mercury
The longest three minutes and forty four seconds ever. Stunningly overwrought even for BC. Disappointing, too, 'cause I know there's a half decent (and faintly familiar, I might add) song hidden in there somewhere.
6. The Everlasting Gaze
We all want to hold in the everlasting gaze Enchanted in the rapture of his sentimental sway But underneath the wheels lie the skulls of every cog The fickle fascination of an everlasting God
5. The End Is The Beginning Is The End
The band definitely should have gone on hiatus while JC was in rehab.
4. Real Love
The piss poor production and uninspired performances cast the average-ness of the tune in particularly sharp relief. Shoulda stayed under lock and key.
3. Annie-dog
The most infuriating vocal performance put to tape by Billy Corgan.
2. White Spyder
What a mess. Billy, please keep in mind for next time that redlining is uncool unless your name is Sleater-Kinney.
1. We Only Come Out At Night
No list of bad Pumpkin songs is complete without this little number. Almost universally ridiculed and despised.
Oh dear "Annie-Dog" as 3rd worst Pumpkins song ever? I've really got to disagree with you there, I think Billy's vocals fit the song perfectly. Damn, I really love that song.
There's only a few Pumpkins song I hate. "Cupid De Locke" leads the pack, with "Take ME Down" and "Daydream" following in close ranks.

I definitely disagree with 1, 5, 6 and 7.
How can you have a list of worst Pumpkins songs without Perfect? That shit brick and it's overwrought sequel to 1979 video should have never, ever been.

Cupid de Locke
We Only Come Out at Night
Sweet, Sweet
The Everlasting Gaze
Those are the only ones that pop to mind. Then again, I haven't listened to the Machinas in some time, and I know there are at least 2 or 3 on those that I dislike. But other than that, the ones listed above are the only ones I instinctively skip when playing the respective albums

I disagree with some of those, and some suck because of their production. That being said, there are no three worse SP songs than We Only Come Out at Night, Lily, and Annie Dog.
Pearl Jam shows: Champaign 4/23/2003 Chicago 6/18/2003 St. Louis 10/05/2004 Portland 7/20/2006 Gorge 7/22/2006 Ridgefield 9/26/2009 Philadelphia 10/31/2009

Perfect is a pretty good nomination.
Adore is chock full of clunkers, snoozers and stinkers, which is unfortunate because there was some solid non-album material floating around at the same time.

Cupid De Locke is probably in my top 5 SP songs.
