20. 'Starla'

"Starla" started off relegated to B-side status very early in the band's career, but over the course of the past two decades, it has gone on to a setlist staple and fan favorite. The song is Billy Corgan's first true epic, building from a slow, meditative ballad to an extended instrumental outro with blaring, intensely emotional solos.
