Gish was one of my favorite albums for a while when I was in high school. I loved Siamese Dream too. But beyond those and Pisces Iscariot and whatever other old singles are around - I find them pretty unlistenable. Funny story: between the years of about 1998-2001 I tried to sell my Mellon Collie CD to used record stores 3 different times (as one in a stack I was trying to sell) and it was turned down every time. My copy was in excellent condition - it was just that the record stores had too many already (one of them told me that, anyway). But I'm actually glad that I held on to it - even though I may never listen to it I still consider it the final legit SP album.

great band, german friend got me into them. love bullet, everlasting gaze, and tonight tonight.

i got a clip of them on the tonight show *or one of them american things* and they actually sound pretty good...

oh well, each performance is different., my band, first gig, not too great, next gig, awesome.

He only did it to advertise his new album.

They weren't, though. MAYBE so to a diehard fan of the band, but not to anybody else with two ears, working nerve-endings, and a mind unclouded by blind bias. After Mellon Collie they did absolutely nothing that was good for the sustained length of a whole LP, and some of the releases were just truly terrible. Hell, even Mellon Collie runs out of steam.

[Percyboy:R.I.P MJ !]

Just so long as we don't get TheFutureErabrace part II I don't really mind who is in / out of the band... I mean it was all pretty much Corgan's stuff anyways...

... But I will most definitely miss Charaberlins choppy, edgy style...

Lets hope the new Smashing Pumpkins doesn't suffer too badly musically speaking...

havent heard much of them but my frienRAB like em alot... ill get round to tryin them one day....

The thing about the albums he's done since, is that they're all a different type of music... Each and every one. And i cant believe u dont take Mellon Collie seriously... Coz thats their third album... If u dont, u should be shot...
Corgan is simply THE most talented artist around... Anyone who can write Soma, Zero, Mayonnaise, BWBW, Tonight Tonight, For Martha, omg, there's too many, well, he deserves RESPECT!

Oh, I'll probably get it for my birthday . What is your favorite song on Siamese Dream?
