Ah, the new (or old) music you can stumble upon in iTunes. I just found this band yesterday (after hearing about them for a year or two) and absolutely love them so far. I don't know what it is but I keep buying songs and putting their cds on my wishlist. What about you guys?

Wow, you're just now hearing of them? Personally, I see SP as one of the best and influential bands of the 90's. Corgan has a way to add a lot of art to his music. After Queen, I see them as one of the most artistic bands to hit the scene.

Man CJ, you gotta remember I was raised on Christian pop and am only sixteen. ;) What cd would you recommend to me?

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. Ahh.

That and Siamese Dream

Both those cd's rock. They are just so...I'm not even sure how to say it. Fire-Inside had it right with "Ahh." :D

I think the only cd of theirs I have is the greatest hits. But you should here there songs Disarm, Bullet With A Butterfly Wing, Tonight Tonight, 1979, and Today. All great songs.

I never liked their sound, so I never got into them . . .

I'm just completely spellbound because normally with bands I can either say 'I love them for THIS reason' or it takes me a while to get into them...but when I discovered them I just said 'oh wow...oh WOW' And I have no idea why.

His voice gets annoying after awhile but good band.

I have Adore, I like it well enough.

They're decent, and I'm sure were influential. Being 18 I wasn't overly familiar w/them until recently, and I simpy prefer some of the newer bands of their type.

Wow, yeah... what CJ said.

My brother and I would smash some pumpkins from our garden... He called it 'Corganism'... That was, like, 6 years ago... but we both still call it that.

It's official, new SP album coming out. No date set yet. :)

Yep, I have that one. Good album.

This thread makes me feel old. I remember hearing all about Smashing Pumpkins years and years ago. That was back in my young and naive days, so I looked upon them with contempt (I was a good little brainwashed Christian back then), even though deep down I thought they were incredible.

They're putting out a new album? That's amazing. I thought they'd never get back together.
