Bang Bang You're Dead... POLL In Your Head - ILM Artist Poll #87 - SMASHING PUMPKINS - Results

My breaking point was Everlasting Gaze which was such a complete DNW that I dont even think I realized for a while that I had gone off them completely

cool, haven't seen this in a while, just uploaded by Apathy Video.

not much live footage of Billy playing piano on the Adore tour (or at all really, until his solo record & tour last year)

And so many in here saying BWBW was the immediate buzzkill, and maybe not itt but certainly elsewhere that goes for Ava Adore, too. I wonder what would've happened if Billy got his way and actually released Jellybelly as the lead single from MCIS. No doubt it would've been less successful - I mean what was he thinking? BWBW second single??

the flow of the singles from MCIS is really cool, must've been weird to live through them. BWBW into 1979 into Zero into Tonight, Tonight into Thirty-three. Like what if Jonathan survived and the original lineup stuck together and put out Muzzle as planned for the fifth single? and Zero wasn't really a hit right? The video rules but that one is definitely less known than the videos for the rest of the record, including Thirty-three. But it's still one of their iconic songs.

I didn’t vote for “Silverfuck” but I should have. It’s like an Underworld track only played on rock instruments.

What is a good Underworld epic with OTT dynamics?

"moaner"

i saw that fashion awards performance on tv when it happened! it's probably why "crestfallen" is one of my favorite songs

I can't believe only DAM & I voted for Rotten Apples

btw don't think i ever posted this summer 1993 performance of Hummer from Fruit Bat Salad... it's sooo much slower than almost all of the SD-era shows, really it's one of the few existing recordings (and only video afaik) of them playing it at the same speed as it is on SD. anyway it's a sweet video, they're playing at the Unicorn a year later, July 1993, band has already way outgrown the club they're in, it's bizarre.

like for context this was the same club only a year before. they all sing jimmy happy birthday at the beginning

Whaddaya think? I think we did this.

definitely ILM, and also SP doing a tour to promote this thread

that is only about 20k plays per poster, and I certainly did my part

I didn't use Spotify at all but I will take partial credit for this bump

Really regret not voting for Drown. Essential. The road is long...

bought tickets to see them play live for my first time. setlists from last year are pretty good, so I'm cautiously optimistic for a good show. probably should listen to Cyr to prepare.
