Ultimately, I think we can all agree, that the consensus, is that he was the quintessential 90's rock icon, and essentially the peak of an era that won't and can't come again.

unc music
nobody remembers the smashing pumkins
>>
>>129968109
It's Kurt obviously. But music wise, Pumpkins will be remembered longer than most.
>>

Mogged by Malkmus

>>129968164
Respectfully Kurt had maybe 3 decent songs.
>>
>>129968209
Kurt had more good albums than baldie had good songs
>>
first 4 smashing pumpkins albums were kino, after that they fell off, but who else has such a record.

when it comes to gen x kurt def overshadows him as an icon though, he overshadows everybody
>>
>>129968239
listen to Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness and get back to me.
>>
>>129968295
sorry i dont listen to corporate pop rock sellouts
>>
>>129968164
i agree with this... cobain got the legendary status because he killed himself... smashing pumpkins had much better music but corgan is a knob and no one likes him... if he wanted to be remembered personally as an icon he should have topped himself in the late 90's
>>
>>129968418
billium is too much of a narcist to kill himself, he is a secret alpha chad that also makes art

also his music stood out in the 90s, its more shoegazy and dreamy compared to the whole grunge thing
>>
>>129968164
as a teenager you enjoy nirvana
as an adult you enjoy smashing pumpkins

It’s the sophisticates choice of music, for a much more mature audience.
>>
y do all u retards want to like and listen to the same shit? unless you're listening to instrumental music all of this noise is subjective

Adore flopped and this bald motherfucker is still mad about it.

there's a reason all the boomer bands wore wigs when they lost hair.

>>129968109
fuck off billy
>>
>>129968164
kurt is remembered bc he ate a shotgun, corgan is legit. although he likes to smell his own farts, he has a batting average to show for. lastly tsp dont sound dated at all, nirvana sounds old af
>>
Why does no one accuse Billy of murdering Kurt? Kurt stole his girlfriend. He was obsessed with Kurt. He said Kurt was more talented than him. Kinda reminds me of Salieri, the guy who killed Mozart.

I like Pavement but come on

Smashing pumpkins have bigger singles but the pavement discography is was more consistent and rewarding. Nirvana mogs both

his whole schtick was singing like a girl.

Teen Spirit was and is bigger than any pumpkins slop

pavement sucks dick. shit taste

>>129968109
I don't know a single SP song except for ''Tonight So Bright'' or whatever, I can name several Nirvana and NIN iconic songs. There's a reason this bald fraud spent most of his career seething at other artists

For Chrome Dome, it's over.

The king of Alternative.

Crooked Rain isn’t in the same league as Siamese Dream

>I think we can all agree
no

>>129972517
I'm pretty sure you know 1979.
>>
>>129968209
Nevermind is 80% bangers
>>
>>129968109
there are like 20 better and more iconic 90s rock bands
>>
>>129968109
It's nice that we can all agree Ava Adore is his best song.
>>
>>129973869
Personally, and this is just me, I'd say Today.
>>
is the original pressing of Siamese Dream noticeably different than the remaster?
>>
>>129973869
Man, that song blows

like most trannies, its was/were
>>
trent reznor is better
>>
>>129968109
two biggest rock acts of the 90's during the 90's were Pearl Jam and Alanis.
>>
>>129968109
Still love Stand Inside Your Love, Everlasting Gaze, and 1979. Whatever they were doing with the guitar riffs in Everlasting Gaze, someone needs to bring that back.
But post comeback Pumpkins is boring, and the production is awful and too vocal forward. It's mushy instead of layered. The band is not what it was, literally.
>essentially the peak of an era
Despite liking them, I hesitate to give them that title, because it always felt a bit like alt being co-opted by theater kids and art majors. It's grunge-adjacent for socialites.

>>129968138
I have 20 year old zoomer friends who love them
>>
>>129968138
lol what. zoomer girls love Luna and Today
>>
>>129972478
The smashing pumpkins tend to be over indulgent and melodramatic in an embarrassing way. They have their moments but so much of their discography is forgettable and pastiche. At least pavement is original and interesting
>>
>>129976948
definitely not biased at all and not just playing favorites
>>
>>129976948
pumpkins is more original than pavement. there was nothing like siamese dream but pavement sounds a lot like burma and fall
>>
The stone temple pilots are elegant bachelors
>>
>>129977254
true
but their music is cliche
>>
>>129968109
Why did Norm MacDonald shave his head?
>>
>>129976948
you're mostly right but I think you're mistaken on what pastiche means
