Smashing Pumpkins

[Falmer Flutter ©]

Just basically Billy And His Band these days, but any fans of classics such as Gish and Siamese Dream might like to know that the first of 44, yes 44, tracks from their new album is available for free download. All songs will eventually be released for free, one at a time.

The Smashing Pumpkins

It's actually not too bad.

7.2

 

[Mellotron]

Judas O (The B sides to their Best of - Rotten Apples) is one of the best collections of songs EVERRRRRR.

 

[Simster]

Gish & Siamese Dream are two of my FAVOURITE ever albums. Two absolute masterpieces, IMO.

People who like the Smashing Pumpkins are pretentious muso twats. This is a fact and if you don't agree i WILL destroy you.

Why's that then? They've done plenty of absolute TUNES.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Look at them FFS. You cannot seriously like anything that band produces apart from one tune, and I'll get to that in a mo. Billy Corgan is now going out with Jessica Simpson, not only is that f***ing tragic but it is also indicative of a band who partakes the EMO culture which is one of the more boring and NOTHING movements that sums up the awful decade that we have just been through. I blame them, and Keane, for the shocking and plain SAD amount of bullshit nothing bands that parade around as if they own the palce (see Snow Patrol (who know have a greatest f***ing hits album out) and Coldplay).

Anyhoo, here is the only SP song that you can like and you can still only actually listen to it when it comes on MTV2 and you're stoned.

Zzzzz. Great, a picture from the 90s. Most 90s bands looked ridiculous.

Why them and Keane? What a random couple of bands to choose. Which bands do you believe Smashing Pumpkins spawned?

I like roughly 25-30 songs they've produced. No offence mate but you're the one coming across as pretentious and a muso at the moment, for saying you can't like a band because of how they looked in the 90s.

Because Billy Corgan is going out with Jessica Simpson, that makes them EMO? Brilliant logic. Because David Beckham is married to Posh Spice, that makes him a former member of a girl band.

Bear in mind I'm still a little pissed.

Oh and don't confuse my excellent taste and knowledge in music with pretentiousness.

Well you've confirmed "muso" with the above sentence...

 

[gruntage]

Pumpkins were great and are still my favourite band, but not looking forward to hearing this... just Billy

 

[gruntage]

pretty wank tbh.

whereas zeitshite had some good songs, with dreadful production, this song is not very good.

 

[Smithy]

Fact is they were a great band but are no more.

Havn't done anything decent since Adore.

I would agree with that. If you are looking for a band who have consistently produced great albums from the late 80s onwards to the present day, look no further than the genius brainchild of Trent Reznor- Nine Inch Nails.

[Mellotron]

Nine Inch Nails = Brilliant.

 

[simon swagbag]

Their song "Rhinoceros" is a beautiful piece of music.

Smashing Pumpkins that is.

 

[seagully]

Nine Inch Nails = Brilliant.

Indeed. I had the pleasure of seeing them on their 'Wave goodbye' tour. Absolute class. I will admit to having a tear in my eye during the encore of 'Hurt'

Freak - from the second E.P is a brilliant little ditty. much improved from the first couple of songs.
