Life on Mars for sure here, but I also love the energy of Cherub Rock (notwithstanding Corgan's whiny voice that eventually turned me off with the Pumpkins).

 

[foxco]

Life On Mars, though Eminence and Cherub have awesome openings.

Yea...1a and 1b with Life on Mars and Cherub Rock. That song and that album was special for me at that time in place back in Chicago.

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

Definitely Life on Mars and it’s not particularly close for me.

 

[Judge Smails]

Huge Petty fan so my vote’s obvious

 

[Zow]

While I currently really dig Mary Jane's Last Dance (on my golf playlist), generationally Cherub Rock hits my sweet spot so went with that.

ETA: I do really like all four of these songs, though, in this set.

 

[Don Quixote]

Life on Mars for sure. It was in my Top 5 when the Middle-Aged Dummies ranked favorite British Isles songs.

 

[zamboni]

Did a bit of back research on Cherub Rock and didn't realize that it was heavily influenced by Rush's "By-Tor & The Snow Dog", a fact that Corgan readily admitted.

1. Life On Mars easily
The rest are pretty close, but ranking them on the nostalgia they trigger
2. Cherub
3. Eminence
4, Mary Jane

I’m a big Petty fan but the main riff in MJLD is a ripoff of this song:

Waiting For The Sun

The Jayhawks · Hollywood Town Hall · Song · 1992

Life on Mars? - and it’s not close.

 

[FairWarning]

The Who by a nose over the Pumpkins.

“Life On Mars?” because of Bowie’s voice.

“Cherub Rock” was very cool in ‘93. I was living in San Diego when that record came out. Definitely a rocker for the time.
