1979 has one of the best chorus cord progressions ever. The way it was layered is incredible. I like SP more now at 45 than I did at 18. I wasn't mature enough to really understand how great they were.
Actually it's kinda flipped around for me the other way. I've gotten really picky though, also I like to shuffle up the tracks of albums I listen to. And putting together a wide array of artists together in one mixlist can be satisfying if you can get a good flow going. But yeah I used to listen to albums all the way thru as they were more often when I was younger. I guess I'm too restless now. Of course modern culture and tech has had a hand in that. I do find it annoying when bands don't wanna put out albums, but singles only and take years to amass an album's worth of songs. I still like doing a deep dive into the catalog of a band I like.
@@Pluralofvinylisvinylsthat's bs... nowadays you listen to songs back then we listened to albums... Because we paid hard money for the album and made the best of it... Now the streaming algorithm melted the connection
What? That sucks Billy doesn't get to meet his real fans for some reason? If I had a chance to be the 3% to 1% of fans to speak to Billy, I would say "Hey Billy! Thank you for taking the time to talk to me! Your(And The Smashing Pumpkins) music has been on my Playlist before Playlist was a thing, you inspired me to learn to play multiple instruments, sing out loud and your library touches so many in so many different special and individual ways and is loved! I seen you at Amelia Arena a couple years ago and it felt so good seing most of you back together"! Sucks all he meets is D Bags?
That whole Mellon Collie album is special to me. I remember buying it the day it came out and playing it, not knowing what to think. It was such a massive album, 28 tracks!
I remember buying it and being so sincerely disappointed in it. The only good thing in the whole album, imo, was that Billy actually gave James a chance to have a song. Also, why doesn't any of the people who interview Billy ever ask him why he felt he had to sneak back into the studio, after everyone played their bits and left, to pretty much replay and rerecord the entirety of what his band mates had played. Sometimes I feel like Billy robbed us all of the real sound that was made by a group of special individuals.
Everything from smashing pumpkins is pretty much amazing. Even if it’s not a hit or catchy still very interesting to listen to and creative. Billy Corgan is an extremely talented songwriter.
Thru the Eye of Ruby was my favourite Pumpkins song when I was 12 and 1979 is just one of the best songs ever, but Cupid De Locke is probably in my top 5 Pumpkins songs of all time
It could be that, but Zero Skateboards was founded in 1996 while Billy Corgan released a song in 1995 called Zero and wore a shirt that said Zero in the 1995 video for 'Bullet With Butterfly Wings' so I'm not sure that's what it is.
i love mayonaise,cherub rock,the everlasting gaze, tristessa, And rhinoceros i also like "tonight, tonight" but whenever i listen to it it just makes me cry.
1979 is great. Many of their songs are. Cherub Rock, Bullets with Butterfly Wings, ZERO, Mayonnaise, Today, Tonight, Disarm. Just saw them on their tour in Wheatland, CA. Never had the chance to see them as a kid and I had an awesome time watching them live.
Met Billy Corgan like 12 years ago walking into Union Station as he was walking out. Glad I just said I love your music, shook his hand and kept going. Way greater than just 1979.
Good on you, there's no need to tell someone part of their work you think sucks or whatever. I mean if someone had some constructive criticism that may be one thing, but still they may not wanna hear it. Heck, they may not have the time or are too tired to get into an in depth talk of their work. I bet most of these ''your other stuff, not so much guys'' don't take that into consideration. Yeah Billy seems like he's had to take a lot of sh*t over the years for the perceived quality of his work.
Id never heard any smashing pumpkins songs and have been a hard rock fan all my life. I dont know why. Im 70 yrs old. I heard a song on the radio recently and said to myself......wow thats a great song,wonder who it is.......dj says " Thats Smashing Pumpkins doing Beguiled. Instant love and became a pumpkin head late in life. Thanks Mr. Corigan and crew.
Wonderful being famous. A lady approached David Letterman, her adolescent daughter in tow, early in his career. “Aren’t you that comedian who was on Johnny Carson?” David admitted, Yes he was. “See there?” the woman turned to her daughter and said. “You don’t have to be good lookin’ to be in show business!”
You must have been born in the late 90s or 2000s to think they are underrated, because if you were teen or older during the Pumpkins prime years you would understand how huge they were, they were every where! They even won a few Grammys and nominated a bunch of times, they were definitely recognized lol.
@@seblo8462 Nope. 1984 bro...They were indeed recognised and had a few big hits; but not nearly as talked about as much as Nirvana, AIC, Soundgarden or Pearl Jam...so, don't know what universe you live in. Laughing Out Loud right back....
@@orbitalbutt6757 As I already replied to the other guy who seems to think I'm some kind of Gen Z idiot... They WERE a big band...but in the grand scheme of the Grunge world; they are not talked about nearly as much as bands like Nirvana, AIC, Soundgarden or Pearl Jam...
@shadowkyd they are the only band from the "mainstream grunge scene" to survive after grunge died, they survive the waves of "numetal" and "emo/pop punk" that came after while remaining themselves and not selling out, they are legends...now if you would've said bands like Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr and Fugazi being underrated, then I'll agree with you big time, but not Pumpkin...and that rock must be pretty dam big because you're under it too lol 👍
I don't care as much for 1979, neither does my husband but it always comes on during important moments in our relationship. Oddly af, idk what the songs about at all lol. The song chose us ❤ I love the song now! It's our song for life
the first two songs that got me hooked were ava adore and 1979. I was just laying on our couch i was little and they came on mtv. I got up and thought was is this? i was hooked.
I actually enjoy pretty much every album when I really think about it! I mean smashing pumpkins is timeless. You could just throw it on and lay back and just here the masterpieces
@Pinko_Band because He is lol...but in Billy's defense almost all frontmen have "narcissistic" tendencies some worse than others since they are the "face" of the band, but Billy has been known to have a "my way or the highway" approach to music and life lol
snail, tear, depresso, hello kitty kat, heavy metal machine, tales of a scorched earth, doomsday clock, the chimera.. and lets not forget the masterpiece of riff that cherub rock has. this guys have one of the most diverse and enjoyable discographies in all alternative rock
The video for tonight tonight is absolutely beautiful. It’s is what I center myself to. It just reminds me of a time when everything was ok, and it lets me remember everything will be ok again.
I dressed as Billy from tonight tonight when it came out for Halloween. I was 12. The song will always take me back but i have a love for every single song especially rotten apples now.
Mayonnaise… my favourite
Great tune 🤘
Same, along with rhinosaurus and i forgive
Me too ❤
Mayonnaise is NOT an instrument, but is a damn fucking good song.
*Mayonaise
The entire Siamese dream album is phenomenal
"Yo man I really love Gish and Siamese Dream..."
"...their other stuff, uh not so much!"
😌☺️🤭
Also Mellon Collie is great 🤘
My favorite album of all time
Absolutely. I bet a lot of bands run into fans like this that know 1 big song and probably never gave other songs a chance.
A masterpiece for sure.
Bill Burr is the new vocalist of Smash Pumpkins
If Bill Burr was the new vocalist for Smashing Pumpkins it would have went more like “what’s with these broads complaining about 1979?” 😂
I would’ve thought the same if it wasn’t for the caption 😂😂😂
This is a window into Gerard Way's future.
They're actually making fun of people trading places 🤣🤣🤣

As a kid you listen to tracks, and as an adult you listen to albums.
Same here

Isn’t the chorus chord progression the same as the verse? (not criticizing the song it’s a hard classic)
@@Pluralofvinylisvinylsthat's bs... nowadays you listen to songs back then we listened to albums...
Because we paid hard money for the album and made the best of it...
Now the streaming algorithm melted the connection
Hummer is underrated
damn straight
Incredibly underrated
Soma is the most underrated
What? That sucks Billy doesn't get to meet his real fans for some reason? If I had a chance to be the 3% to 1% of fans to speak to Billy, I would say "Hey Billy!

Remember being 11-12 with my discman. I had mellon collie album and Green Day dookie. Amazing times
@@mrcontroversy222exactly the same two albums of me . Also on discman !
I remember being pissed as a teen that it surpassed The Wall as highest selling double album. Lol
Stand Inside Your Love. Hands down best song he’s ever written
The drums on that song are phenomenal
Being watching drum covers of that song like 5 minutes ago 😂.. Im obsessed with that song, the drums take center stage
The intro is up there with the best
Everything from smashing pumpkins is pretty much amazing. Even if it’s not a hit or catchy still very interesting to listen to and creative. Billy Corgan is an extremely talented songwriter.
Nicely said
I like almost all of them. 1979 was just great, along with Tonight. I can't nail down just one. Great band, great music!
👍🥰
Tonight Tonight actually..
@@TheRealAwesomePossum thirty-three 😉
Mayonnaise and disarm also
Stand Inside Your Love. Beautiful song Lyrically, and it rocks.
Cherub Rock is my favorite. GH3 had bangers.
Yess
100% man, there’s just no beating it
Rock band too
Incredible
That's got to be their best one
“Cupid De Locke” & “Thru the Eyes of Ruby”, go listen, ya’ll know why I love them so much
Thru the Eye of Ruby was my favourite Pumpkins song when I was 12 and 1979 is just one of the best songs ever, but Cupid De Locke is probably in my top 5 Pumpkins songs of all time
I’m here to include Porcelina
Yo man, I really like that “To Forgive”.
Drown is my favorite from them!!
Classic
👍
Drown is so underrated,Craziest thing is It wasnt even on a studio album!
Great song from a great soundtrack of a great movie
In my top five, no doubt.
Tonight, absolute masterpiece
Reminds me of highschool
That songs sucks. Cherub Rock is their only truly great song.
@@davidporter671L takr
@@davidporter671 Did we need to know that?
The instrumentals off that album are insane the start of tonight feels like you have a whole orchestra right in front of you
Crazy he’s still wears a Zero Skateboards hoodie. He has for so long now. Very cool
It could be that, but Zero Skateboards was founded in 1996 while Billy Corgan released a song in 1995 called Zero and wore a shirt that said Zero in the 1995 video for 'Bullet With Butterfly Wings' so I'm not sure that's what it is.
Disarm is my favorite Pumpkins song. Hits home so hard, hearing Billy talk about the story behind it is really relatable and sad.
Mayonnaise is the best imo 🙌🏼
perfect and today tho
i love mayonaise,cherub rock,the everlasting gaze, tristessa, And rhinoceros i also like "tonight, tonight" but whenever i listen to it it just makes me cry.
Mayonnaise is based, heck the entire album
.
spaceboy and luna are pretty good too
Disarm is hands down my fav. When that song first came out I was instantly mesmerizing by it
That and "Today"
Yeah same
I was in the military the first time I heard this song. Yeah. Hits a little different
One of the greatest songs ever written. The first guitar riff. The chimes. The soaring vocals in the chorus. The strings.
Yes 100!
Muzzle is so good! The gritty pumpkins guitar intro and drum roll into the rest of the song is so rad!
Today is great,
The music ofc
1979 is great. Many of their songs are. Cherub Rock, Bullets with Butterfly Wings, ZERO, Mayonnaise, Today, Tonight, Disarm. Just saw them on their tour in Wheatland, CA. Never had the chance to see them as a kid and I had an awesome time watching them live.
Same!!!!! Their performance was awesome
Cherub Rock and Bullet w/ Butterfly Wings are certified bangers
Smashing Pumpkins 1991-1997 = greatness
The classic lineup is where it’s at
1997 low key mid
gish era kinda underated ngl
Add 1998.
Try the Machina 2 album...it s as brilliant as their classic stuff
Met Billy Corgan like 12 years ago walking into Union Station as he was walking out. Glad I just said I love your music, shook his hand and kept going. Way greater than just 1979.

Disarm is art.

I didn’t really like it at first but the second listen, i was in my room yelling “THE KILLER IN ME IS THE KILLER IN YOUUU!”
Agreed
@@christianfernandez6985that hit different
'Today' and 'Tonight'.. ❤❤
Tonight, tonight is amazing
One of my all time favorites! Speaking as a 90s kid
😊👍me too
@@NinetiesYouthSo you were Born in 1988 or 1989?
Ever spoke as a child from the 70's?
My favorite from you guys is mayonnaise, one of the greatest song in the 90s
Mine too

I have a list of Smashing Pumpkins songs that I am in love with at the very same time I miss Zwan. 💖
Pumpkins are one of the greatest and most underrated bands of the 90´s
Underrated? Bud they were massive

If you don’t like that song you need your head examined
Ava Adore is my favourite. I also feel as if it would make for an awesome theme song in wrestling.
My names Ava adore
🎶 Lovely girl, you're the murder in my world, dressing coffins for the souls I've left to die 🎶
Being secure in yourself is not giving a crap what someone says about your art
Still, the example he's describing is a weird, backhanded compliment and I can imagine it would get annoying. He's still a human being.
I love how straightforward he is
Today, Tonight Tonight, 1979, bullet with butterfly wings, zero - they've got a lot of good hits.
Ugly (sadlands demo) is easily my favorite. Got me through some tough times.
how did a depressing song get you through hard times
@@shakirov.nicoleFinding a song you can relate to and let your emotions out on.
@@shakirov.nicolenecause its relatable....so you feel less alone..
Insane that somebody could dislike Bullet with butterfly wings
That mellow breakdown in Hummer tho, yknow? "Ask yourself a question, anyone but me..." and I'm AM free.
I just love smashing pumpkins ❤
Beguiled smashes love the band
One of greatest alt rock song ever
HAHAHA poor billy, I love aaaaalll ur stuff ❤
Even that wrestling company that I'll never see hajajaj
the world is a vampire🧛🏻♂️
His 90s stuff is basically why he basically gets to do or say whatever he wants today
I only like 1979. But I love Soma
"Tonight, tonight" is my favorite
Love all your songs :)
I love Billy and all his music! Musical genius!

When one narcissist meets another narcissist haha but well played Billy, well played 👏

my favorite was Hummer
A true patrician’s taste indeed
Hummer is great, Rocket is mine
One of my favs. Mine is Mayonaise on that album
@@spamsingles5948 quiet, soma, geek USA, mayonnaise, silver F.
All the deep cuts are great. I’m surprised space boy wasn’t mentioned that song is pretty good
Bro, no way! Freaking Love the Pumpkins!!!
Adore 😍🎶
1979 is the soundtrack of my youth!!
Me tooo 1979 it's like Masterpiece for me
I love how straight forward he is
The whole collection is amazing. Was my first concert in '96, my sister took me when I was 8 years old. Local H opened for them.
snail, tear, depresso, hello kitty kat, heavy metal machine, tales of a scorched earth, doomsday clock, the chimera.. and lets not forget the masterpiece of riff that cherub rock has. this guys have one of the most diverse and enjoyable discographies in all alternative rock
The other stuff, all the other stuff, it’s magic and I’ll never stop loving it.
Spaceboy ...is probably my personal favorite 😍
The video for tonight tonight is absolutely beautiful. It’s is what I center myself to. It just reminds me of a time when everything was ok, and it lets me remember everything will be ok again.
I LOVE every single song.
Cherub rock will always be my favorite. That song is pure nostalgia for me takes me back to being a kid
In the arms of sleep
I enjoy most of your music.
The multi verse of Bill Burr
I dressed as Billy from tonight tonight when it came out for Halloween. I was 12. The song will always take me back but i have a love for every single song especially rotten apples now.
"perfect" is one of my favorites.
Like Ava Adore, Apples and Oranges. I love perfect circle too. Tool was always on the scene with NIN. Deftones White Pony was always the 2000 anthem.
1979 i love to play this riff. Really great
SP is great stuff to learn how to put a song together, solid
That's wild. Tonight, Tonight SLAPS!
I’ve loved all their stuff
Favorite band hands down, and every album has great songs
Melancholy and the infinite sadness is part of my high school soundtrack. It's in my top 10 best albums of all time I don't care fight me.
So glad the world still has Billy Corgan. ❤️
Siamese dream is a a goodbye letter to my childhood
'Cherub Rock' and 'The Beginning Is The End Is The Beginning' are my top two tracks.
Hummer, Cherub Rock, Mayonnaise, Tonight it is crazy!
They’re forgetting about Tonight, Tonight, Mayonaise and Today 😎
Bullet with butterfly wings is a must favorite for everyone. It's literally a ballad.
Like who only likes 1979. So many classics I listen to almost daily
Today is my allllllllll time fav
Today is the greatest ❤
The old bait & switch back handed compliment 😂
Bill blur after aging over night😮
His other stuff is awesome
Eye …. My favorite. It explores the darkness I expect and need in my life. Thanks Billy 🫡
Mayonnaise, Hummer, Cherub rock, Tonight, and Disarm ❤
Tarantula. That's what got me into them.
Pug is my fav song by them.
Loved the usual songs, but always loved Thru the eyes of Ruby off Mellon Collie.
They have so many other good songs I can't think on top of my head rn
Muzzle , the one favorite of mine these days, but always change...sometimes is disarm, others Everlasting gaze, or ava adore ...lots of memories😊
33 is one of my personal favorites
Adore is Amazing!!
1979 is one of my favorites. Obviously, because I was born that year
