Top Ten Most Poignant Smashing Pumpkins Songs

The Top Ten
1 Mayonaise

Obvious number one spot. Who honestly didn't see this coming? The song is packed with emotion and melancholy.

2 Disarm

Followed very closely is Disarm, one of their most popular (and saddest) songs. I put Mayonaise over this song because it's way longer and more powerful. But this song is powerful too!

3 Let Me Give the World to You

I'm talking about the Machina II version, not the 2014 re-master. Anyways, behind all of that fuzz and white noise, there lies a beautiful song. Actually, the production makes it even better, because it's much more vibrant and optimistic.

4 This Time

Go back and listen to Machina I. Play this song. Watch as your tears flow.

5 Soothe

This song is only a demo, but the opener to Pisces Iscariot will definitely make you cry.

6 Tonight, Tonight

This songs sends chills up my spine, and for good reason. The orchestra is simply wonderful, and the song gives off a happy, yet tear-jerking, vibe.

7 Once Upon a Time

This underrated gem off of Adore is simply gorgeous. From the very first second, this song will definitely make you cry.

8 With Every Light

Another great song from a criminally underrated album. This song, like many of the others, gives of a happy/sad vibe.

9 Wound

This song reminds me of a post-graduation song, specifically college. That, and how it's so damn happy it's kinda sad.

10 Today

The opening riff alone is very poignant. The rest of the song is moving too, with excellent guitars and an amazing sound.
