The Official Smashing Pumpkins/Billy Corgan Thread

[Booty]

Oh yeah, it is by far one of their most underrated albums. Behold the Nightmare and For Martha are two of the Pumpkins best songs.

I'd be pissed if I thought the smashing pumpkins were any good.

Bullet is indeed a fine song - and perfect for those really stupid days when you feel completely pissed off, yet trapped by something.... ie work or whatever it is making you feel like something of a "rat in a cage"... hehehe.

Really, though, great album to blast out of the stereo and let go of all that rage!

[Melina, Ms. Paparazzi ♡]

It's all good. So, your sig says your listening to Jimmy Charaberlin complex. I love that whole album.

I absolutely love Bullet With Buttefly Wings.

And. The band.

I like the new song 'Song For A Son' but i just don't see it as the Smashing Pumpkins. It just feels like Billy Corgan solo material or Zwan Mk II. The Smashing Pumpkins used to be my favourite band but Billy and his ego destroyed all that. However i try to be an open-minded guy so i will download most of the new songs as they are released and give them a listen, there's bound to be at least 10 songs that are great on their own terms, but i will pretty much hear them as Billy Corgan's solo project.

the pumkins were good. i think siamese dream was my favorite album. the singers solo stuff isnt that good though.....

The greatest group in Alt history, and my personal favorite. Seeing as how I could list every song they've ever performed in the exact order of their appeal to me (last being Take Me Down, naturally, as James Iha simply doesn't have a rock voice), I'll spare you and simply list my favorites from each studio album.

3. Siva

Siamese Dream
1. Disarm
2. Spaceboy
3. Mayonaise

I think the whole see sawing fortunes of the Smashing Pumpkins has taken a toll on Corgan somewhat, but Zeitgeist was a valiant and even somewhat successful attempt at wiping the slate clean and starting from scratch - it kept the formula simple, but recogniseable, similar to what we know, but not a carbon copy of it...

It was a conservative dip in the water after getting slam dunked by a tsunami sized wave...

I am betting that after getting back into the water and getting his feet wet we might see a less conservative approach...

I sure hope so, because when he is rampantly creative, it sure yeilRAB some damn good music...
