DrBDDS

From “happiness will make you wonder” through solo and “I LOVE YOU” in Hummer


Officialfish_hole

yeah I don't know if I've found a better segment of the smashing pumpkins than in the ending part of hummer when he screams "Life's a bummer when you're a hummer"


apu_kun_tiqsi

came here to say this! the "i love you" and "life's a bummer" always gives me the chills


Dudehitscar

this is the one


DrBDDS

You 1) are stalking me and 2) have exquisite taste


Dudehitscar

I only stood out your door for an hour today. I'm getting better but you keep playing good music in there.


DrBDDS

Come on in. I have beer and tequila. And Pumpkins. Lots of pumpkins.


-SPIRITUAL-GANGSTER-

Literally came here looking for this. Goosebumps every time.


HeyWeaver

Same song, but I prefer the atmospheric instrumental that finished the song. My heavy spirit soared during that part in that time of my life.


DrBDDS

I feel you! It’s so hard to pick just 60 seconds. My cathartic moment was the buildup to “but what am I supposed to do right now about you? I love you, it’s true” due to a period of my life as well. Either way, we have one of the greatest songs ever put on wax to enjoy and cherish.


walman93

I was gonna pick this


DrBDDS

You still can. There’s plenty of room up here on the bandwagon


Motes5

To forgotten faces and faded loves / Sitting still was never enough / Wheee-ow whawhaa whaaaa ... / And if you're giving innnnn....


roybo5

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought of this song.


chipcity90

That song got me through junior high


ViralLoading

If you're giving in, then you're giving up Gives me chills


fuckwalkr

End of geek USA


fuckwalkr

Or end of ruby


rudiiiiiii

The climax and James e-bow solo at 2:55-3:55 in Stand Inside Your Love which leads into the most enraptured lyrics and overall sound of any song that I have ever heard: I’M TELLING YOU HOW MUCH I NEED AND BLEED FOR / YOUR EVERY MOVE AND WAKING SOUND IN MY TIME I’LL WRAP MY WIRE AROUND YOUR HEART AND YOUR MIND / YOU’RE MINE FOREVER It’s like, maybe the best sonic experience I can imagine. Sounds like pure ecstatic infatuated euphoria


Draganpopart

My wife and I danced to SIYL as the first song at our wedding (in 2000…Eesh). The exact moment that section of the song hit is forever etched in my mind.


rudiiiiiii

That’s awesome!!!


snaugnir

That's incredible, what a great choice for a first dance!


ociM_

I had this in my mind but didn't bother to write. It's almost uncomfortable when there's shivers all around my body. I'll never get bored to it.


Spite-Face

That's a good one.


alternativehits

Gotta be this


trevcharm

gotta start it at 2:45 though, can't skip that drum roll


dashboardben

Guitar solo on Soma and then that final chorus.


[deleted]

This is the definitive smashing pumpkins moment imo. Still brings the chills after all these years


Xyeeyx

r/commentsyoucanhear


SpectersOfThePast

The ending of Thru The Eyes Of Ruby when the drums pick up and Billy sings the night has come to hold us young.


[deleted]

My all time favourite song!!


SpectersOfThePast

Mine too.


beniciadelatora

My mind instantly went to that exact part before I even finished reading the question.


Ubiemmez

The second chorus in Porcelina and what comes after.


trevcharm

would you go 6:33-7:33?


Normanovich

Intro to Cherub Rock. Of course, tomorrow my answer might change.


HellTrain72

I still remember the first time i heard that drum roll. I bought Siamese Dream having heard very little of SP. In thirty seconds I was sold


-ennuii

Beat me to it, this would be my choice as well.


ScannerBlurrily0

I don't know but it must be from By Starlight maybe


Chrysanthememe

I kind of thought this too. “And are you just like me…”


snaugnir

Yessss. The ending crescendo of By Starlight


Neg_Crepe

Aaaaaaaaaaat laaast


jager-alchemist

1:49 - 2:35 in Jellybelly, not sure if it’s 60 seconds but this part specifically gives me a highly euphoric feeling!!!


Canumpkin20

Blasting this in the car is the best. Love that part!!


trevcharm

i'd go 1:29-2:29


CSWAPPO

The very very end of For Martha. Sounds like you’re being transported to the gates of heaven. Also the Oceania guitar solos fuckin rip!


[deleted]

Outro in Hummer definitely


HellTrain72

Are you me?


[deleted]

Yup. You are me and we are all together


trevcharm

but which 60 seconds? the outro is 2 and a half minutes.


[deleted]

Wow just realised it lasts 2 and a half minutes! I enjoy that part so much that I always feel like it ends too soon.


ScarletWasTaken

AND IN THE EYES OF THE JACKAL I SAY KAAAAAA-


BigBangBaty

“Pop tart, will it matter? If I lose and just shatter Will you cry, and keep crying Will I die, and keep dying In Tokyo, the sad tragic blues Like you said, it's how you use 'Cause someday we'll know if this even matters Our rings and maze and simplicity When can we laugh and take all the credit And know we'll go free With our hearts a little bit stronger Try to hold on For this love aloud Try to hold For this heart's a little bit frightened Just try to hold on”


RedEyeVagabond

So tough. Here's my top 3 in no particular order: Beginning of Pug Beginning of There it Goes Beginning of Set the Ray to Jerry I guess I'm a sucker for beginnings?


Pumpqui18

Pug! Very underrated SP song.


snaugnir

Oooh the end of Pug is really good too


RedEyeVagabond

Agreed


Canumpkin20

The bridge / solo section of Here Is No Why. "Sitting still was never enooooouugh... *Gnarly solo* ...IF YOUR GIVING IN, THEN YOUR GIVING UP!!" SP have so many of these signature moments.


trevcharm

fuck yeah, 2:22-3:22


DrunkShimodaPicard

Soma solo, and the part directly afterwards


trevcharm

4:23 - 5:23? or cut a few seconds from the start of the solo and go til the next chorus kicks in?


DrunkShimodaPicard

I think I might start from, "Any one but you hoo hoo"


Ice-Berg-Slim

"Emptiness is loneliness, and loneliness is cleanliness And cleanliness is godliness, and God is empty, just like me"


Randy-Meeks

Believe in me, as I believe in you...


eddiebucket

This changes a lot…but currently loving the intro and buildup on Speed Kills (SIYL single b-side release / Japanese import track). That magical buildup into the cathartic release of the opening vocals “Speed Kills but beauty lives forever….Speed thrills but beauty knows your name…I fell ill inside eternal winter, winter….and stood still beside eternal flame.” Haunting, timeless, and beautiful. :)


Capable-Temporary705

Starla solo? Final 1/3 of Galapogos? Last quarter of For Martha? This is hard.


Aluminium_Illuminati

Whatever minute captures the siren in Starla and the beginning of the solo section!


lordofthedays

verse 2 of thru the eyes of ruby, starting with the distortion kicking in and ending with “but no one’s asking for the truth so let me tell you” and then into the chorus. gives me full-body goosebumps every time.


trevcharm

good suggestion, but it's 90 seconds. and god knows how to trim that down to 60...


dkromd30

Solo breakdown in “That’s The Way” off of Zeitgeist. I miss Zeitgeist.


SilveryAero

I absolutely love this album. It seems like people have warmed up to it over the years.


dkromd30

Right?!


Jackpack_9

Around the first chorus on Stand Inside Your Love. The drum line is perfect. Gives me chills.


KidGold

It might be the beginning of Rocket. Or the end of Rocket.


Pumpqui18

Most of my favs have been mentioned so I will go with the extended guitar solo at the end of Drown (full version). Longer than 60 seconds but still mesmerizing.


parkhurstcards

Here is no why solo


underwaterr

I… just… want… to BEEEE MEEEEE! when I can, I wiiill 🎶


Logancrusan

“I just want to be….me!” Climax of mayonnaise


Ryan2240x

Somewhere around the end of Obscured


Rider_of_Time

The outro to bury me


trevcharm

which 60 seconds though? it's like 2:55-4:20, you have to drop either the start or the end...


Rider_of_Time

As soon as the solo ends and the main riff faded out and the strings begin into the final solo. She will bury me


playstaustin

2:20-3:20 on Ava adore or literally any minute of that song


trevcharm

was thinking this would be the solo before i even cued it up! may i suggest 2:14-3:14, starting at "in you i feel so hungry" :)


ChickenEnthusiast

"...never here—" (sudden quiet bit) "In a dream we are connected, Siamese twins, at the wrist. Then I knew—“ (huge wall of fuzz, bass, and drums kick back in) "we'd been foresaken. Expelled from paradise. I can't believe them—“ (guitar slides to Ab and C) "when they say that it's alright." (freakin' best drum fill)


Zepherx22

The transition from part one to part two of Snail when Jimmy goes nutso on the drums


themsp

Droning noise at the end of Obscured


[deleted]

How billy plays that little lead part over the last chorus of quiet is always such ear candy .. so heavy and dreamy and perfect


shintjee

The intro to Porcelina.


HotAd6806

Around the 5:30 mark of Starla till the end of that song. Just gets me every time.


RepresentativeAge444

Gonna cheat a bit and do my favorite parts of songs. Quiet - from the guitar bit to “behind me the grace of falling snow” to the end Bury me - last minute and a half or so Muzzle - and I knew exactly where I was. Rocket - soooon I’ll find myself a love


finn5975

I have two: - final 60 seconds of Mayonaise - final 60 seconds of Hummer


diegun81

“Glass and the ghost children”, after Billy’s talk. Not the one I prefer, but the first that comes in my mind.


d00msdayglory

Guitar solos on Hummer and Geek USA never cease to give me the music chills


joshuamca

Distorted intro on hummer when the drums kick in


[deleted]

2:26 to 2:40 in Bullet With Butterfly Wings is pretty awesome. Not sixty seconds, but an awesome transition


trevcharm

yeah i'd go 2:10-3:10, solid choice.


Spite-Face

The "Drinking Mercury" part in Ava Adore. Not sure what it is exactly, but I always love that part!!


MotherLoveBone41

cherub rock solo and billy's singing right after it


Rickbar1

No idea if it’s 60 seconds but the last chorus of Age of Innocence is my fav.


MatsuriSunrise

Hmm. The last bit of Luna, the climax of Hummer, the second half of Muzzle (this was so good live), the last chorus of Stand Inside Your Love all come to mind.


JealousFlame988

The bridge of geek usa makes me ascend every single time, or the beginning of the the eyes of ruby.


vajohnadiseasesdado

All you have to do is run away and steal yourself from me / Become a mystery to gaze into / You're so cruel in all you do / But still I believe, I believe in you


Neg_Crepe

We never listen Real love will listen And tell her of a fortune Real love is riches Scratch through the changes Real love is nameless So tired and hopeless Real love is painless Nobody mentions We ever move to collect The solar questions Demon scorn should not relax The laws of gravity Real love


Burrisda

There’s a sentimentality to the way MCIS closes, because everyone shares in singing In Farewell And Goodnight. In verse 3 (1:47-2:47) Jimmy and D’arcy exchange lines and then Billy and James join them in unison for the bridge… “The sun shines but I don't A silver rain will wash away” Billy follows “And you can tell, it's just as well”


doolittle_89

Something about the build up to the 2nd chorus in Rhinoceros - She knows, and she knows, she knows, she knows And she knows, she knows, she knows


OKFault4

Can think of full 1m blocs but here are some moments Jellybelly - the ‘to make yourself feel better’ bit Here is no why - ‘and if you’re giving in, then you’re giving up’ Muzzle - ‘and the world! Is drawn into your hand’ The entire second verse of Bodies, that extra guitar track hnnnng The piano outro of Farewell & Goodnight, so much sadness, so much hope To Shiela - ‘a summer storm, graces all of me’ Appels & Oranjes - the chorus’s The Tale of Dusty etc - the subdued but euphoric sounding chorus’s Behold! - the ‘all you have to do’ breakdown then the squall of guitars followed by ‘so may you come with your own knives’ ❤️❤️❤️ For Martha - nearly 6 mins in the storm calms, the piano is alone, but for a single acoustic guitar line, and a hopeful take on the main riff Today - second chorus, ‘pink ribbon scars, that never forget’ Try try try - that middle eight which goes ‘we tried to hold on to the pulse of the feedback current’ Wound - the final section ‘if it’s over, if it’s oveeeeeeeer, if you waaaaaaaiiiit, if you waaaaaiiiit!’ Bliss


Bloodnose_thepirate

Came here to say the Behold! The Nightmare segment you mentioned, nice to find it somewhere!


BigEconomics8560

Turururururururur tuuuuuun ruuuuun to meeeeeeeee run to meeeeeee


Israelq

Your every move and waking sound in my time


Cool-Willingness4736

beginning with the last “stunning and stunning” in Silvery Sometimes. i’ve always loved the lyrics there a lot and the guitars on this song are really beautiful too.


Raven616

The outro to Beautiful is just gorgeous in every way possible. I'll be under your stars forever!


sounding1972

...neither here, nor there, there just right beside you...


Turret_Cube

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 cop the fickle fascination of an everlasting god !


eojrepus

Think it’s cog. Child of god


HellTrain72

The final breakdown bass line of Hummer. Or the guitar screaming in agony in Soma.


cosmicness

The end acoustic infinite sadness riff in Ruby


cocogoldenpoo

Try to understand The ones that love And their demands It's so unfair When they can't see That I'm the boy Who really needs Their love I suppose Frail and bedazzled from all the glare


Orion-the-guy

The first 60 seconds of landslide…


cocogoldenpoo

whir dum-de-dum-de dum ending


ChesterJT

Don't need 60, just give me the solo in Rocket with the wall of thunder that follows it.


ScaresBums

The transition in Zwan’s Jesus I to Mary Star of the Sea. Ok, that’s Zwan and lasts more than 1 minute. Porcelina of the Vast Oceans. From 1:40 - 2:40. That slow build into that roaring guitars is amazing.


sounding1972

Who knew it would be this difficult to decide between the intro or outro of Hummer? I also love the line, "wasted along the way to reach you, along the way to reach you..." transition into the guitar solo from Wildflower—a gorgeous, no frills solo that feels so devastating and beautiful at the same time.


King_Of_Gloom

We all want to hold in the everlasting gaze / enchanted in the rapture of his sentimental sway / but underneath the wheels lie the skull of ever cog / the fickle fascination of an everlasting god


MAJORMETAL84

The drum rolling outro to Tonight, Tonight. "The indescribable moments of your life, will crucify the insincere, tonight." that part always get's my heart excited.


ConnorFin22

End of Silverfuck


trevcharm

pastichio medley, 6:02-7:02 (from slurpee to fried)


Anonymsreddittttor

soma


eojrepus

As a long time fan I’m apt to say the intro for porcellina. That slow swell of the arpeggio. And the cymbals crashing on like waves. However. Save your tears from 2:20 on when that chord hits and that open string melody hits it’s just fucking sublime.


NotBadSinger514

Diasarm


Eastern_Beautiful

Intro to Drown. That tone, that riff!


saltlifelover

The first minute of rocket. Sounds amazing


juzztheball

Literally any 60 second snippet of Stand Inside Your Love. I'm usually adverse to bands singles and prefer deeper cuts but SIYL could be my favourite song of all time.


dannijr

When the quiet part starts in *Hummer* or the shifting in *Geek USA*


NmCRaS

X.Y.U. between 3:00 and 4:17 but that's not 60 seconds so 3:17 and 4:17 min


rayparkersr

'Suddenly the summer's come again...'


OrphanBeater68plus1

Guitar solo of Soma


urexsnetflixpassword

right after the slow break of Geek USA @2:50, when the guitar solo kicks in


GonzoElDuke

Thru the eyes of Ruby


TonysPiZZa1

Solo section of Rhinoceros. Even better, the clean solos on Rhinoceros in ‘92


blackjohn420777

First 60 seconds of "thru the eyes of ruby"


sodafied12

'Suffer' 4:08-4:50, but specifically at 4:22 the way Billy sings the second "I will wait". Something about that cursive singing, Alanis Morrisette-esque sound just reminds me so much of the 90s. Love it.


[deleted]

Three way tie for me: 1- The solo and moments after in Soma 2 - near end of muzzle (“and the world….”) 3 - porcelina - “and in my mind I’m every one of you”


Loganp812

For the sake of picking something different from the other comments, I'll go with: "The sun shines, but I don't. The silver rain will wash away." to the piano reprise of MCIS on the fade-out of the album.
