For a lot of years, I wouldn't have dared called Smashing Pumpkins a guilty pleasure. They seriously rocked....
....and then they didn't. They got wimpy. Billy Corgan made his band into a guilty pleasure.
This song, from their 2nd album Siamese Dream, remains to this day one of my favorites of theirs. Only recently have I learned that this was a song with a message. You see, every grungy sounding band in the early to mid 1990's was compared, fairly or not, to Nirvana, and Billy Corgan was pretty adamant that he was not Kurt Cobain.
