Has to go be one of the best bands that I have ever listened to. As much as I sometimes find Corgan's voice annoying I usually look past that. Billy Corgan = One of the most underrated guitarists of the last generation of music. Mind you, he did a great job in Zwan. As much as Siamese Dream and Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness were great albums, I must say hands down to Gish. [youtube]TBRVT5K_p5c[/youtube]
Absolutely incredible. Tonight, Tonight is the best song ever. And when I say best song, I mean my favourite song ever.
I was raised on Smashing Pumpkins (among others) so I definitely feel the love for what Smashing Pumpkins were. Now? Not so much. I don't care what anyone says, once Iha and D'arcy were out of the picture, it wasn't the Pumpkins anymore. And now even Jimmy is gone, so it's all a fucking farce.
I love them, although they have been really hit or miss since the band was restarted. Only about 1/3 of Zeitgeist was truly excellent. I will admit Teargarden has shown some promise. A Song For A Son and A Stitch In Time were surprisingly good. And if you like Gish, have you listened to any of their pre-Gish demos? There are some gems. I recommend East (Alt). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAKwgvr5s_M
