A talented group. That Billy Corgan seems like a humble, intelligent and chill dude judging from interviews.
--Michael D. Clarke
I AGREE WITH YOUR THOUGHTS...ALSO...1979 IS ONE OF THE GREATEST SONGS EVER RECORDED.
shareI was a big fan till Machina. After that, I lost track.
shareAn iconic group of the 90s.
shareLoved them before they broke up. Now they record shit album after shit album. Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness is one of my favourite albums of all time.
shareThe lead singer has a weird voice but I like a few of their songs.
shareHaven't really payed attention to them past Mellon Collie, but always thought they were the most underrated band of the grunge era. Billy Corgan is a very talented & unique songwriter & guitarist.
shareI like a few of their songs.
Melon Colly and the Infinite Sadness has to be the most 90s album title. Either that or All the Pain Money Can Buy by Hardball. Funny how downbeat a lot of popular music was at the time. It was a relatively peaceful, prosperous time. We had problems then too, of course, but compared to other time periods, not so bad.
Talented band, yes...I love a lot of their music. However, I wouldn't exactly call Billy Corgan "humble"...he was known for having a pretty big ego back in the day (He got into it with Steve Luthaker over something back in the 90s). Maybe he's changed in recent years...I don't know.
shareYeah, even he's admitted that he had an attitude problem in the past that affected the band.
shareYeah, I thought he was pretty arrogant, even by rock star standards. He seemed to think he was on the level of people like John Lennon or Kurt Cobain.
He did some good stuff but he wasn't on the level of an icon.
