Simply the best!
Last time I saw them live they started playing music from their last album and everybody was asking for the basic songs. Out of nowhere, Billy just says: "OK we are gonna play the whole new album and then we're gonna do some classics so stay put... That is how a true master behaves...
my fave band in the 90s, based on that alone worth my 95/100. Siamese Dream and Mellon Collie both in my top 5 albums of all time
85/100 if they had put some effort into their 21st century work.
Billy Corgan= artist
The Smashing Pumpkins were 90s music gods. They produced dynamite albums consistently (Gish, Siamese Dream, Mellon Collie, and even Adore is decent). However, drugs (Chamberlain) and egos (Corgan) got in the way and drove them into irrelevance in the 21st century. Too bad - they started so well.
Essential 90's. Favs; Siamese, Mellon Collie, Gish, Adore, Pisces
The Smashing Pumpkins were a solid nineties band but after the nineties had passed their albums went way downhill. After the year 1999 The Smashing Pumpkins only had one good album to speak of and that was Machina II. Machina I was awful. Zeitgeist was no good, and Teargarden was a mess. All of that being said The Pumpkins did have some great albums in the 90s such as Siamese Dream and Mellon Collie. Best Smashing Pumpkins albums in order: Siamese Dream, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, Gish, Machina II, Adore, and Pisces Iscariot. I recommend all of those albums and nothing else from Smashing Pumpkins.
On the basis of Siamese Dream and Mellon Chollie the Pumpkins seemed like they were messiahs. More visionary music like that seems like it would have put Billy Corgan on par with Pete Townsend and Paul McCartney. Instead, they peetered out with Adore and the decline continued after that to where they are now irrelevant. They are still well remembered for those two albums by those of us who were there. But Corgan is nowhere near as highly regarded as he could have been, as Eddie Vedder and Kurt Cobain are and he has not had anything of the staying power of Dave Grohl, Green Day, Radiohead and a slew of other '90's biggies. Why? What happened?
Were once considered a benchmark of music. Just like Paul's perfection ruined the Beatles, Billy's ruined the pumpkins. I love the introduction of psychedelic music into 90s alternative. Also Billy's solos are some of the only solos that I really and truly like. Anyone that goes off on a solo usually bores me, but his grab me further in.
1. Siamese Dream
2. Mellon-collie and the infinite sadness.
3. Adore
4. Pisces Iscariot
5. Zeitgeist
6. Teargarden Kaleidoscope
7. Gish
