Sorcerer doesn't have spells memorized at all. That's the whole point. This allows him to pull stuff out like Proj Image - 5x Animate Dead and still have his 5th level spells free for non-summoning spells. It lets him not hae to worry between choosing area attack spells and single attack spells. It lets him do Project Image -> 6x Wish, and retain useful 9th level spell slots (whereas C/M will have no space for anything useful in 9th level slots). Etc.
There are very few random spell combinations that are useful which a Sorc can't emulate just as easily using his 5 spells per spell level.
