I like DMB if I'm in the right mood, and his solo disc is quite good. I do blame him for spawning the entirely unlistenable string of cute young male singer/songwriters. Jack Johnson, John Mayer, etc., etc., etc. I swear, all those guys should go on tour as a male Lillith Fair. All that said, the Pumpkins rock way harder and I hope the rumors of their reuniting are true. It's one band I truly regret never seeing live.
