What this song really needed was the mellifluous stylings of  Bob Dylan   at the mike.

Also, the full version was played on the radio stations I listened to when it was current.  It was one of the rare long plays I ever heard on the radio, a special exception was always made for this, even in the commercial radio playlists I listend to.
 
If you can play the entire Sucko-Barfo Bohemian Rhapsody, you can play the entire Drown. Please. It isn't too long, and isn't the same without the ending.

Jimmy Chamberlin is a very underrated drummer. One of my favorites- jazz influenced and so powerful. He really put the Punch in their first 4 albums. I had always heard that Corgan and Chamberlin would jam together and that's where some of the song structures/ideas came from. Love P.I.,Gish, and S.D.

Next you'll be saying: "I'll be honest with you, I love his music. I do. I'm a Michael Bolton fan. For my money, I don't know if it gets any better than when he sings "When a Man Loves a Woman".

Or asking about the TPS reports.

I'm gonna go ahead and disagree with you about Billy. He's almost as big an a-hole as Axl Rose, but The Pumpkins wouldn't have been the same without him.

Luckily, I bought the soundtrack from CD exchange when I was 15....dusted that bad boy off today :)

I have loved the pumkins for years. Looking at the picture of the band on the greatests hits album, It just came across me of how young they were and I was listening to them in the early 90's.

The song may have been uploaded that way.  If there's a longer, better version, upload it!  I've noticed there are some songs on the playlist that have several versions, so perhaps the version you like just hasn't been uploaded yet. *shrugs*  I'm still trying to get over that picture of Billy Corgan with hair.  {#Whistle}
 

It's not a different version,  it's the song as recorded which for some reason is being cut short.
