I used to be a fairly big Pumpkins fan. Siamese Dream was my fav. from them. I loved it. I thought it was a great album for the time, with not much else coming close being released around that period. A lot. But I don't think I ever considered it in my top 10 albums list. You know how certain albums bring back good memories? SD does that a bit for me. I was in college when it came out. I haven't listened to it in probably a couple years. I will now! Thanks for the reminder. I also liked Mellon Collie and Gish a lot. I have the
Aeroplane Flies High singles box set. Anyone else have this? I wish more bands put out sets like that.
I also have Corgan's Zwan CD, which isn't bad, but not that good either.
I don't understand why people don't like Billy, but to each his own. He's one of the people I always enjoyed listening to the most doing interviews (or reading).
BTW, I have a mint/like new Smashing Pumpkins Star Profile UK import CD/book set I planned to ebay if anyone's interested. Pics:

And a Smashing Pumpkins 48pg book with mainly large photos, in excellent condition, I thought it's time to get rid of. Sample photos:

Even if not interested in buying, you might enjoy seeing some of these photos (should have made them bigger).
PM if interested in either.

Supposedly he said that he was getting the band back together. I wonder if this will actually happen. Would love to hear more from them.
I'm not thinking so, nor would I want them to.
he personally wants to get them back together (not sure about the rest of the band), believe he said so in a RS interview awhile back when he was promoting his solo album.
He stated it in the Chicago Tribute on the day his solo album, TheFutureEmbrace, came out. He also stated it on his website. See
here (Jun. 21st, 2005).
Also there (Dec 8th), a picture of his black cat, in a black box (I had to lighten it up in PSP to see it). He should post it
here.
