Damn, I've been on a huge Pumpkins kick recently and would like to hear where you guys stand on them. Siamese Dream is their only classic album, I think, with Mellon Collie being too bloated and bombastic to compete, even if it has some good songs. Gish is a solid debut, while Adore and both Machinas offer some terrific tracks along with some mediocrity.
I'm not the biggest fan of Corgan's songwriting or voice, but sometimes it really gets me going... listen to "Cherub Rock" and you'll know what I'm talking about. Jimmy Chamberlin is one of the best drummers around today... the guy's a beast and doesn't get enough credit to the band's success. James Iha and the Wretzky/Auf der Mar bass combo were serviceable, but had some great moments.
What are your thoughts on the band and what are some of your favorite songs?
