Oh god, my favorite band of all-time is seeded lower than one of my least favorite of all-time. Thank God it's not even close. I remember the first time I heard the Smashing Pumpkins. My friend was listening to Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness on the bus and he let me listen. I fell in love. I borrowed that 2CD album and rocked out to it for days, taping it to a cassette before giving it back. Then I found Adore, Gish, and the beautiful Siamese Dream. 7 years later, I'm still obsessed. I have exactly 500 of their songs (live, covers, bootlegs, demos, released, unreleased, etc.) on my computer, including some greats like the Mashed Potatoes Box Set, Billy's Gravity Demos, MCIS Demos, the final show at the Metro, the show before at the UC, tons of stuff. This band got me through lots of hard times, and I've never forgiven myself for not seeing them live. Thankfully, I should get another chance. I still think Machina is one of the most underrated albums of all-time. It's definitely not their best, but the replay value is fantastic. Tons of great songs on there. Also, if you like their solo work, Melissa Auf Der Maur's solo album, "Auf Der Maur" is solid, and James Iha's "Let It Come Down" is absolutely fantastic. Billy's "The Future Embrace" is also solid, but his unreleased song "Tilt" is probably better than anything else on the CD. I've never listened to Jimmy Chamberlain's "Life Begins Again," but I'm trying to get ahold of it. Anyways, I'm rambling, I apologize. :lol:
