In some golden future, all elevtors will play this all the time. I also predict that, at that time, homicide rates will be zero because of the stuff in the water. 1.

What?
Sure it's easy to poke fun at "Safety Dance".
But the genius that is "Pop Goes the World"?
Come on.

I love the genius that is Smashing Pumpkins.  Love Zeitgeist (2007) the best; there's actually a tarentella on it.

Do bands even release singles anymore?  When this came out I had all the singles and b sides.  I had a nice compilation of b sides and rarities that I owned recorded on something called a cassette tape...  The song "Siamese Dream" on vinyl was one of my favorites.

LOL but no need to apologise for your own tastes.  For me "Birdcage in your Soul", "West End Girls", are songs that exhibit an irritating nasal, lispy whine that I struggle to get past.  

I think Corgan was/is a violent minded punk and that inspired a prolific period of great creative activity in the 90s.  I love the Pumpkins and consider Siamese Dream, Mellon and Adore, to be great pieces of work, whiny voice and all.  It sort of suits, but I can understand how it could grate with some.

But then I don't like Men Without Hats. {#Angel}

No.  This is the 'original' pumpkins.  James Iha, D'arcy Wretzky, Billy Corgan, Jimmy Chamberlin.

This seemed like great song at the time, until we realized that all of Billy's songs were gonig to start sounding like this. It's a nice respite from the hard stuff, but stuff like this doesn't stand alone...


that may be true, but's why we talk about albums and not just collections of singles, no?

I remember laughing on my ass when I everybody made a big deal about this new album called "Mellon-Collie and the Infinite Sadness". Yeah, real deep and clever. A name a freshman art student would come up with in a moment of juvenile inspiration.


But you are really deep, aren't you?

It's just an album name, nothing more, nothing less.
