Bad opinions [ARCHIVED] • Page 862

condensed version of Mellon Collie probably takes the cake, but “1979” is probably my favorite Pumpkins song

 

Siamese Dream is SP’s best album

 

Gish and SD are my favourite two, broadly because I prefer the vocal production.

 

Here’s a SP hot take: Siamese Dream is definitely a shoegaze album

 

siamese dream is on par with in utero but that's about it

you gotta leave billy behind, man

 

how is this a hot take lol

 

I dunno, I just wanted to see someone jump out and act like it’s not.

 

I mean if you like Nirvana more, you probably also like Siamese Dream the best from SP. Grow up and expand that mind!

 

I feel really bad for your ears.

 

Pumpkins never were practically shoegaze to me - I dont know why they get labeled it. on the old stuff the fuzz tones are pretty wall of sound but theres no reverb or delay. its alt rock.

 

my not that hot take is that gish and parts of adore are better than mellon collie

 

gish is 100% shoegaze. parts of siamese dream definitely dip into it as well.

 

Mayonaise is the best SP song, but nothing else on SD touches 1979 or Tonight Tonight (Disarm is close, though). That’s without even bringing up the weird beautiful tracks or Bodies, which absolutely rips

 

I’ve never considered SP to be shoegaze, but I guess if Catherine Wheel and Swervedriver count then so do they

 

Soma????? what the fuck nick

 

my Bad Smashing Pumpkins Opinion is disarm is the worst track on SD

 

good lord

 

Mid tier SD track

 

tbh i forgot what gish sounded like but am pretty familiar with sd

 

insane

 

It definitely sticks out on it, feels like it would work better on MC imo

 

This thread got me on my 9th nirvana kick of the year and I think smells like teen spirit is the perfect song.

 

Nirvana and Smashing Pumpkins are both amazing bands, and I also really like Soundgarden and Alice in Chains, but I absolutely cannot get into Pearl Jam at all no matter how hard I try. The only song I like is Even Flow

 

i like nirvana but grunge legends the offspring take the cake for best band out of that scene

 

I think I just don't like grunge in most cases
