I wouldn`t even bother to see them without Jimmy

That's kind of where I was leaning.

Billy whyyyyyy???

On another note...when the eff is the next Jimmy Chamberlain Complex album coming out?

Yeah nothing can compare to seeing and hearing Jimmy working his magic behind the drumkit. If it was the classic Pumpkins line-up I would certainly make a journey over to England but I certainly won't go just to see Billy Corgan and Friends.

Does anyone think that the smashing pumpkins are kind of similar to a perfect circle? i can see the similarites in some songs.

Nah I certainly don't think it's their best. I've said this quite a few times before but if they made a single album out of it then it might be good enough to challenge Siamese Dream. I'd put Siamese Dream, Gish, Adore and Pisces Iscariot (even though it's a b-sides and out-takes compilation) ahead of Mellon Collie.

Mellon Collie certainly has some of their most immediately grabbing songs. Plus Thru the Eyes of Ruby is absolutely one of their best songs. Still, I'd rank it:

Siamese Dream > Adore > Mellon Collie > Gish > Machina > Pisces Iscariot > Machina II > Zeitgeist

I love Pisces Iscariot

only problem with it is that it's more dream-pop than their usual stuff
