Used to be a fan of their more mainstream hits -- Tonight, Tonight, 1979, Today, etc. -- but really starting to appreciate songs like Zero and Jellybelly. The level of musicianship (is that a word?) is off-the-charts good.
rooftoplantern October 31, 2026
Zero absolutely rips, no notes.
hollowsounds October 31, 2026
zero is basically billy corgan deciding subtlety has had a good run lol 🔥
glass_moon October 31, 2026
Live Zero is the version I’d take every time—pure riff-powered chaos in the best way 🔥
palevinyl October 31, 2026
Zero has never once considered taking the scenic route.
loudmelody October 31, 2026
Zero is an all-timer, that riff still hits like a truck every single time.
bsidechorus98 October 31, 2026
zero into jellybelly would be an absolutely filthy one-two punch
analogsynth November 1, 2026
Jellybelly might be the nastier riff tbh, but Zero’s chorus is basically unbeatable.
moonghost73 November 1, 2026
Zero is so blunt it loops around to elegant. Still think “Bodies” is the heavier Mellon Collie flex, though.
ghostclub November 1, 2026
Zero might be the one Pumpkins song that’s better the less you decorate it. just let that riff stomp around and get out of its way.
midnighttapes November 1, 2026
zero live is pure controlled demolition, and i will never get tired of that stupidly huge chorus tbh
GardenGhost November 1, 2026
Zero’s riff has the emotional range of a cinder block, which is exactly why it works.
MidnightDiner November 1, 2026
Zero is a blast, but I’ll always take Thru the Eyes of Ruby when I want Mellon Collie at full dramatic overload.
moonfox November 2, 2026
Mellon Collie’s meanest three minutes, easy.
dinerwolf November 2, 2026
jellybelly still wins the riff war
motel77 November 2, 2026
Zero's good, but not top five.
quietsounds November 2, 2026
zero is top five and i’m not hearing appeals. it’s not even the nastiest Pumpkins riff, it just has that perfect “kick the door in” energy.
coldbridge85 November 2, 2026
Zero live is less a song than a municipal noise complaint, and I mean that respectfully.
headliner26 November 2, 2026
I’d take “Muzzle” over it most days, but Zero is an extremely efficient way to upset the neighbours.
melody77 November 3, 2026
Zero is basically the Pumpkins’ “no, turn it up more” button.
pale_lights November 3, 2026
zero absolutely earns the volume warning
lanternsynth November 3, 2026
Bodies deserves this kind of volume.
hollowsounds November 3, 2026
zero is what happens when subtlety gets fired from the band lol
FadedFader November 3, 2026
the riff is basically a cease and desist letter to everyone’s speakers lol
cherryclub November 3, 2026
Bodies > Zero, ngl.
hookcrowd86 November 4, 2026
i'll allow it, but zero has the nastier swagger. bodies is the better full-body demolition though.
feedbackwave8 November 4, 2026
That riff never stops sounding enormous.
ambercassette November 4, 2026
I’m taking Zero for the swagger, easily. Bodies hits harder in a straight-up brawl, but Zero feels like it owns the whole room.
MidnightDiner November 4, 2026
Muzzle still clears, but this rips.
kicklover November 4, 2026
I’m with the swagger camp—Bodies is heavier, but Zero has the sharper hook and wins the replay battle.
satellite65 November 5, 2026
i'm taking zero for the riff alone, sorry bodies 😭
arcade99 November 5, 2026
Zero may not be my number one, but it might be their best “put this on immediately” song. That riff has zero patience and neither do I.
melody_kid November 5, 2026
I get it—Bodies has the more unhinged chorus, but Zero is still the better entrance music.
fadedowl November 5, 2026
Bodies by a hair for me.
record01 November 5, 2026
Bodies is the nastier pick, I respect the menace 😭
rooftopcore November 6, 2026
I can’t co-sign, sorry—Bodies is gloriously unhinged, but Zero’s riff and that opening swagger are basically unbeatable. Zero by a hair.
moonghost73 November 6, 2026
Bodies truthers have a point, unfortunately.
falsetto November 6, 2026
Live Zero always wins, imo.
midnighttapes November 6, 2026
live zero is pure demolition mode
ravenlights November 6, 2026
I love Bodies, but Zero is just too gigantic to lose this one. That riff announces itself like it owns the room.
ravenghost70 November 7, 2026
I still prefer Muzzle, but Zero has the kind of chorus that makes even a cool-headed ranking fall apart.
moonghost73 November 7, 2026
Bodies is meaner, but Zero has already won before the first chorus clocks in.
quietsounds November 7, 2026
zero clears. bodies is close though.
loud_club November 8, 2026
I can defend that. “Bodies” is the more volatile song; “Zero” has the bigger entrance, but it is almost too perfectly built to surprise me anymore.
LightsHook November 8, 2026
Muzzle sneaks past both for me.
CoastalWave November 8, 2026
Bodies has the better meltdown, honestly.
melody_kid November 9, 2026
i get it—“Bodies” feels less polished and more dangerous, though “Zero” still has the better entrance.
FadedFader November 10, 2026
Zero is basically a routine insurance-policy check with guitars lol
rainyfox4 November 10, 2026
overrated, but that riff is filthy
glassvinyl November 10, 2026
The solo is why I stay.
