Smashing Pumpkins sucked balls...the lead singer sounds like he's in the middle of pushing out a monster turd, red faced and bulging vein on his forehead.
I know Billy Corgan is one of those kind of artists where you think he's **** or love him (and I actually can't stand to listen to him speak - he's so ******* pretentious and self-important), but SP Siamese Dream was one of the first albums I listened to cover to cover on repeat and fell in love with so I'll never shake it.
They also sucked balls live early because they relied so much on studio editing, overdubbing guitars etc., but they got infinitely better through the years. I get it, believe me.
Houses of the Holy has a special place in my heart.
