I haven’t done an “Ultimate Set List” in awhile. I was thinking to myself the other day that The Smashing Pumpkins have so many great songs on their albums that get overlooked that I should do an Ultimate Set List, if only to put it out in the ether that these songs should be played live. So without anymore delay, here is what I would like to hear if I could customize the perfect Smashing Pumpkins show.

Here are the rules:

Rule 1: maximum 25 songs

Rule 2: What line up of the band would it be

Rule 3: Where would you want to see the show

Lineup: Billy Corgan, Jimmy Chamberlain, D’arcy Wretzky, James Iha

Venue: Double Door in Chicago

Set List:

The Beginning Is The End Is The Beginning
Tonight, Tonight
Cherub Rock
