If I ever want to get revved up for something these are my go to songs. Where boys Fear To Tread would be a kick ass pro wrestling walk out theme.
I think Aeroplane Flies High is a consistent favorite. Lucky 13 or the covers from the Bullet With butterfly wings single have been recent indulgences for me.

That singles pack is quite possibly the coolest thing of the major label alt-rock band era.

Thats interesting to hear as I always thought it was super cool but also I was and am a huge ass pumpkins nerd so I'm way biased. It's my favorite physical release I own.
Did any other bands of that time do something similar?

I was that stupid mfer who bought all the import singles from The Aeroplane Flies High box set about 3-4 months before the box set came out.
and i was not wealthy by any means.
i grew up on a farm in the middle of nowhere.
The ZERO single/EP was always my clear favorite.
I still want to start a band based on the sound of that, especially this track

i think billy was using mesa boogie rack stuff then.
and the strats.
not totally sure on that tho.
"is your innocence all that you can give" is a great fucking lyric
fuck you billy corgan for being brilliant but not cool at all, in any way.
i recorded a cover of "pennies" around 2007 for a covers compilation on a pumpkins forum. can't remember the name of the damn forum.
had a black background
anyway i will try to find the "pennies" cover. it received some good reviews
i am sure i have it here on one of these hard drives.
