Thread: Smashing Pumpkins

Actually they had a greatest hits come out last year I think you should pick that one up first, but also Siamese Dream is my favortie album of theirs. And the only one I think that is equal to Mellon Collie and Infinite Sadness. Their later stuff (Ava ADORE and Machina) are a little different from their earlier stuff. More industrial, less grunge guitarish. I prefer their earlier stuff like Gish and Pisces to their later stuff though.

Also the band Zwan (lead by Billy Corgan) had an album come out a couple years ago worth checking out if you find yourself still craving more.

Oh wow youve never heard that album before? Classic. My tracks of choice off of that cd are "1979" - it just makes me reflect and think back and "Bullet With Butterfly Wings" - one of the best shoot out songs ever

That's one of my all time favorite albums. It's too bad Smashing Pumpkins broke up.

I don't know much about their albums, but my personal fav. song by them is Mouths of Babes. It friggin' rocks. No matter what u get, get something with that song.

It's all pretty good and usually expensive to get your hands on (even used).

yeah 1979 is one of my all time favorite songs. Great album, liked many of the ones mentioned and Zero from it. Their newer stuff had a good sound to it and yes sad they broke up. Didn't Zwan already fizzle out too? I didn't hear much about them after they first came out.

My English teacher had the class listen to "bullet with butterfly wings" in class to study methphor, assonance and what not. They are pretty good I must say, I had the song stuck in my head 3 weeks afterwards.
