Yes, you do not have to have a trained professional voice, but it also helps if your voice does not sound like fingernails on a chalkboard!!!!{#Stop}

Got it in one. Actually I like Billy Corgan, but that is one hilarious frickin comment!

Yea, but Dylan just had a bad voice, Corgan takes bad voice to a whole other level!!!!{#Stop}

Normally find the Pumpkins grating. But this track is cool I must admit.

Hmm, i never heard this one before. Billy Corgan is a gifted songwriter. He would be much more successful if he actually had a good singing voice.

And it's Rock and Freaking Roll people -  stick to show tunes and opera if you want trained voices.

I think something is amiss when Cherub Rock, or Rocket, do not get played on a station, yet this song does. What gives?  I cannot understand it.   I have nothing against this song.  It is OK.  The best of this band is not played here.  No wonder so many people complain about the pumpkins here.
 
try FM radio stations for Cherub Rock.

Well, it seems kind of wasteful, but as long as they're his pumpkins, I suppose he's free to do it.  If it's other people's pumpkins he's smashing, then he really needs to learn to respect others' property.

Great song...off the 5 disc box set following the Mellon Collie release.  Some of their best (yet rarely heard) stuff made its way to this collection.

Some of those cuts included Ugly, Pennies, etc

Sweet!

Suffice it to say that without him Billy Corgan would quite likely have had to find employment in the food service industry ... I mean, there's just not a big market for funny looking bald guys modeling skirts.

I'll concede your point, as I do appreciate Neil Young, who can't sing. Corgan is just whiney and nasal. At least Neil belts it out with his every fiber.


Oh, and Corgan doesn't belt it out ... right.
