forgot about this thread, i recently bought the greatest hits and well, its bloody good i'd say. wouldnt call myself an fan in the sense of buying all the albums but this collection of hits is really cool. today, tonight tonight, cherub rock and ava adore stand out to me in particular.

[QUOTE=Snickers]How the hell did Nirvana make them famous? Did they promote them? Did they peddle their CD's on tour? Im pretty sure they never toured together either. And yes I will think that Soundgarden and the Pumpkins were better than Nirvana.

And i'd like to point out you're incoherency for the purpose of clarrification.

"Sp were less than nirvana because they were classified as grunge and that in turn means nirvana made them famous"

Thats the gist I got.

[QUOTE=Snickers]I was a fan of soundgarden and smashing pumpkins before nirvana ever made it onto the music industries radar screen (yes, I'm old, and yes both bands have been around longer than Nirvana) Nirvana may have helped increase the popularity of grunge music, but both bands were successful before nirvana blew up the scene.

^
Yes, I was only saying that they made the grunge scene popular, judas priest.

the pixies piss on all of them.

:offtopic:

Aside from the fact that I don't think they piss on any of the groups listed. You'd need to loom miles above a group to piss on them, and I would say that while their are better groups than the three listed, no one is so much greater than them that they could piss on them.

didnt expect you to think of what i said in literal terms. to me the pixies started off the grunge movement, doolittle surpasses nevermind, siamese dream and superunknown. plus, i just prefer them. though TSP, soundgarden and nirvana are all very good bands i might add.

If you're taking this literally then you only have to be next to someone to piss on them. But yes, I agree that The Pixies started it, even though I don't like all of their ****...

I don't think he meant Frank Black breaks into recording studios and pee's on people. Im almost certain he meant they were vastly more talented than the bands listed.

Gish!!!

gish is the record that blows up the ears of innocent children.... In other words it's great and their best work :thumb:

pretty much anything by them is good. however, i dont like that their greatness is often lessened when their songs are often over-played on radio stations.

My favorite Smashing Pumpkins songs: Geek USA, Silverf*ck, Siva, Bullet With Butterfly Wings, XYU, and some others.

I like almost everything from Gish and Mellon Colie.....Ava Adore has like 3 songs I like. I LOVE the video for Try, Try, Try though, cuz I lived it, so it kinda hits home. Wait, there was no home, shall I say it hits the subway floor? LOL!

Disarm.
Zero.
X.Y.U.
Ava Adore
Tear.
Crestfallen.
sTAND iNSIDE yOUR lOVE.

I got Mellon Collie recently and it is truly awesome.

May favourite songs by them are-

Here is No Why
Today
Tonight, Tonight
1979
Cherub Rock
Zero

best songs- siva, today, bullet with butterfly wings, tonight tonight, lucky 13, ava adore, cherub rock etc.

best albums- Siamese Dream, Mellon Collie & The Infinite Sadness, Gish

best songs- Today, Geek USA, Tonight, Tonight, 1979, Cherub Rock, Silver****, Ava Adore
worst songs- This Time, Try, Try, Try, Raindrops and Sunshowers. At a point, most bands get worse and The Smashing Pumpkins were great. I love them.

I sort of agree, but they were a good band.

Gish was the first album they put out, dumbass.

but anyways...

fave albums: ALL OF THEM BECAUSE I HAVE THEM ALL! INCLUDING THE BOX SET.

Worst albums: NONE. BECAUSE I HAVE AND LOVE THEM ALL. :):)

^
Ah thanks for calling me a dumbass.
sry I'm only 14, how the hell am I supposed to know when it came out??
I rely on the internet and other random sources, I just didn't want to look it up.
Take it easy...Jesus Christ.
Just thought it came out first.
No need to resort to name calling. :)

Love them.

coolness, shall take a look....is Billy Corgans solo stuff any good? i havent heard it...

He's playing at the 9:30 club in D.C. (usa) on the 24th? I think? I was going to try to go, but I don't think I want to be driving into D.C all by myself...little white chicks don't do very well there so I've heard. Hah.

haha....well, i live in England...so could be kinda hard...i'd like to see him though.

go to www.netphoria.org it might say there where all he's going to play. I don't know though, don't mark my words...I haven't been to that site in ages.

thanks!

Corgan's Single
 

Couldn't find the other BC thread so screw it I made this one.

He put Mina Loy up in iTunes (booo) and its available for purchase. I think the song is hella infectious. If you guys pick it up, let me know what you think, but someone once said Billy Corgan was the John Fogerty of today, a control freak who knew what he was doing. Him doing solo work is probably the best thing for him and for the music (and therefore us).

ooo, i'd like to hear that. are there any sites you can get it off?

All i know is iTunes, but im sure the technological wizards sold it to the pirates and they have it on some obscure website. At first I was like "eh" but then I was like, "oh wait a minute....this song kicks some ass"

oh right, i don't have itunes, maybe you could mail it to me?
