Smashing Pumpkin's Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

[Tut Ankh Amon]

I used to listen to it as a kid, but before i had a more "clinical" ear for music.
Just got it again, and fact: take out a few too-gheigh-and-boring song, and it plain rules.

Discuss.

 

[Leandro]

[Cat5Messiah]

I hate Billy Corgan and his gay voice.

 

[bodomite]

I like big butts and i cannot lie you other bruthas cant deny

 

[Raistlin Majere]

billy corgan is gay cus he sleeps with marilyn manson

 

[Hitori]

Wow, someone in the CoB forum actually has taste beyond CoB (and copies) and is relatively open-minded musically.

Mellon Collie is one of those albums I've been listening to since I was 14. The later records disappointed me a bit, Zwan was a disaster, wanting to revive Smashing Pumpkings sounds like the worst idea in the world, but Mellon Collie is a masterpiece, period.

[Wings of a dream]

[Heavenscent]

@hitori: a fellow Nelf!
but yeah, i never really got into anything outside of Mellon Collie
adore had some good ideas, production-wise, for its time... but mellon collie's first CD was just the best they could do, period.

@Woad: it's playing on my head right now, have to listen to it before i go nuts

 

[Dred]

great fucking album

i need to go get it again.

 

[TheSeldomlaid]

I used to like it, I even borrowed it from people in my class. But at length it's just boring, and the vocals are too horrid even for me

 

[CliffBurton]

I had in when I was abotu 9 years old, and ddint like ti to much then. Boring melodramatic poo.

Yeah Tut.. I used to listen a lot to that. It was cool when I was learning to play guitar. Then lots of years have passed since then ...and a friend of mine came back at my place with this. I was already hooked just by the first notes of the piano intro. Reminded me of so much things that have passed in high school.

Yeah my favorites : Tonight, Tonight, Through The Eyes Of Ruby, Zero, Where Boys Fear To Tread and Bodies. Some songs are quite heavy (i.e An Ode To No One amd X.Y.U.) and some others are really, really weird indeed: (i.e : We Only Come Up At Night).

I listened to Siamese Dream after... and hadn't the same effect on me though.

Really, tonight tonight is frigging beautiful.
Too bad the band was full of dickheads

 

[Warheart666]

mmm The Smashing Pumpkins are my favorite band. And Mellon Collie is a masterpiece, if you can look past the incredibly emo album name.

 

[CliffBurton]

if you can look past the incredibly emo album band.

[Insilden_The Shred]
