The Official Smashing Pumpkins/Billy Corgan Thread

Actually..

I'm not sure which is worse.
 
You always resort to labeling something 'trolling' when it just happens to be a post discrediting a band that you happen to like. If I'd written the same thing in a thread about Deerhoof, you woulda been entirely unmoved.

I justified my position on the band in earlier posts before that one, so see them. I think Gish is alright, Mellon Collie is good but should have been a single album, and that Siamese Dream is an unbelievably great record. I think everything after Mellon Collie was atrociously bad, right up to Zeitgeist and including Corgan's bizarre self-release. So no, I don't hate "EVERY good band", but my appreciation of the Pumpkins is somewhat limited.

Aside from that, I think a 'good' band is one that over the long term proves to be more than just a one-trick pony.
 
Honestly, they should have stopped after Siamese Dream. Gish is a good album, I'm not much of an SP fan to begin with, but I would agree that it is their "best." Their career just progressively spiraled down the toilet with each album release. That is all I have to say.
 
Really looking forward to what they come out with next - if Corgan remains creative, dedicated to pushing his own and others boundaries as as a songwriter, then the next album could be killer... I'll be certain to lay down my hard earned dollars on a copy!
 
After Billy's first band the Marked didn't work out, he didn't want to jinx it by taking his next band too seriously. He ended up pulling the Smashing Pumpkins out of his ass (and it is the adjective smashing not the verb smashing). He always told people interviewing him that it was god's cruel joke on him when they would ask.
 
Way to go, you are now on Conan's 10 rabroad Merabers I'd like to Kill list.

You are seriously calling Mellon Collie unlistenable?

I dont listen to them as much as I used to either =(. Theyre one of my top 5 favorite banRAB though, melloncollie is pure genius, the only album I really dont like of theirs is the new one which is pretty much total goth weirdness.
 
I was never a huge fan of the pumpkins or zwan for that matter other than its real easy to file at work, but I think he has alot of talent that is going to waste right now. he stanRAB to be the best musician of the 90's.

Since we do nothing but say what banRAB we like on this forum, how about we at least break it down to components and dice out why banRAB are great.

so...what do you think of Corgan. :band:
 
I wouldn't post on a Deerhoof thread if there was one, because I don't like them.

It's one thing to express your opinions on a thread that asks for them, there is enough negative threaRAB here to express your distaste for a band, there's no reason to troll a thread specifically for that band.

I may post on a thread for a band I don't like and say I don't like them, but I never bother posting more than once and trying to start an argument.
