What does everyone think of them?

 

[KillWithPower]

I enjoy them a lot. I don't think theres a band that I could compare them to; they're fairly unique. I know some find Billy's vocals annoying but I think the band was composed well. All elements of the music compliment each other well!

 

[eternalhours]

*nods* Yeah.. I've never really listened to them before - I thought I'd find Billy's vocals really annoying.. but I really like SP

 

[747]

They're a great band. I also like Billy's new band Zwan. I saw them live a while ago and they rocked!

 

[LuminousAether]

Billy is a very irritating vocalist, SP would have been far better with a different singer.

As for their albums, their first three were very good (Mellon Collie had a bit too much filler though), but they quickly started sucking after that.

 

[Russell]

My favourite album is Adore, it's packed with beautiful melodies.. Anyway, I'm a fan of nearly all their stuff, and have virtually every CD they're ever released

 

[Hitori]

I liked them a lot in their MellonCollie period... went to a show and it was pretty good.
I lost interest with Adore, didnt even buy Machina, and dont like Zwan... the vocals are sometimes irritating but in general i really like the Siamese Dreams/MC period, and listen to the cd when a certain mood comes in

 

[Kate Bush Rules!]

I like them a lot. Siamese Dream is a great album.

 

[Blind Wrath]

I liked Siamese Dream and Mellon Collie a lot. I don't like their more recent albums.

 

[NAD]

I only have Siamese Dream and Mellon Collie, but love them both.

 

[MightyDrynwhyl]

personally, i hate them, if billy wasnt singing then maybe id like them a little bit

 

[FailingAcension]

I love them

 

[The saYer]

i MAKE A QUICK STOP AT THIS THREAD TO EXPRESS MY HATE FOR THE BAND. THANK YOU

 

[Skippy]

Melancholy and the infinate sadness- dawn to dusk

Is THE best album to wake up to, ever.

 

[kittie_bread]

I actually keep forgetting how much I like them. I absolutely love the title track off Mellon Collie, its just such a beautiful piece of music.
My favourite song has to be Disarm though.
