Any fans here? Mellon Collie and The Infinite Sadness, for me, is one of the greatest albums of all time. Adore was also great.

Hit or miss for me. Have some really good music that I like hearing for nostalgia.

Certainly don't go out my way to hear them though

Possibly my favorite band. Gimme Siamese Dream all day though. I'm in the minority that really liked Machina too.

They really remind me of mtv in the mid 90's.

I would have smashed the bass player back in the day, not so much now.

I love Gish and Siamese Dream. Mellon Collie is hit or miss for me, some stuff I love and some I don't care for. Never listened to much after that.

Siamese Dream is great. Gish and Mellon Collie are pretty good. The rest sucks.

Been listening to The Smashing Pumpkins off and on recently. Something about their sound that I really like from that 90's Alt Rock genre.

I'm hoping they are included in the lineup for Firefly Music Festival this year.

They're one of the great bands from the 90's.

Unfortunately, they are a terrible live band though.

I hated them in the 90's then started liking the 90's stuff in the early 2000's. I'll admit I've only got their most popular songs from the 90's except for the album Thst came out a couple of years ago and it's terrible.

Gish, Siames Dream and Pisces Iscariot were great.

Melancolie had aome good stuff but could have been cut douwn to 1 CD.

Everything else they did was hot garbage.

On a side note, listneing to their stuff now that I'm a little older... Billy Corgan was one whinny little bitch.

Corgan is an insufferable count.

Jimmy Chamberlin is one of the best drummers around.

Siamese Dream is great. Mellon Collie is really solid but also one of the most self-serving albums I've ever heard.

Great band. I don't think they get nearly enough credit. Just listened to a really cool interview of BC by Howard Stern on Youtube. I always liked their music but never knew much about them outside of their music, but BC is a really smart, interesting guy. For some reason, I didn't really expect him to be.

Pumpkins are my 2nd favorite band next to Pearl Jam.

Seen them a few times & got to meet them at a small after-show party back in 2000 just before they announced the breakup.

Billy & Jimmy were pretty cool & very friendly. James seemed like he wished he was anywhere else in the world at that moment.
