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.
>>129968109unc musicnobody remembers the smashing pumkins
>>129968109It's Kurt obviously. But music wise, Pumpkins will be remembered longer than most.
>>129968109Mogged by Malkmus
>>129968164Respectfully Kurt had maybe 3 decent songs.
>>129968209Kurt 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
>>129968239listen to Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness and get back to me.
>>129968295sorry i dont listen to corporate pop rock sellouts
>>129968164i 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
>>129968418billium is too much of a narcist to kill himself, he is a secret alpha chad that also makes artalso his music stood out in the 90s, its more shoegazy and dreamy compared to the whole grunge thing
>>129968164as a teenager you enjoy nirvanaas 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
>>129968764>dude… like… discussing things? psh, not me… I’m above that
>>129968109bald killed his career
Adore flopped and this bald motherfucker is still mad about it.
>>129968138go on TikTok, unc
>>129969098there's a reason all the boomer bands wore wigs when they lost hair.
>>129968109fuck off billy
>>129968164kurt 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.
>>129968184I like Pavement but come on
>>129970668>Slanted and enchanted > gish>Crooked rain crooked rain > siamese Dream>Wowee zowee > mellon collie >brighten the corners > adore >terror twilight > machina Smashing pumpkins have bigger singles but the pavement discography is was more consistent and rewarding. Nirvana mogs both
>>129968492his whole schtick was singing like a girl.thats literally it
It’s Cobain>buhh duhh only cuz he killed himselfTeen Spirit was and is bigger than any pumpkins slop
>>129970758pavement sucks dick. shit taste
>>129968109I 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
>>129968109For Chrome Dome, it's over.
The king of Alternative.
>>129970758Crooked Rain isn’t in the same league as Siamese Dream
>>129968109>I think we can all agreeno
>>129972517I'm pretty sure you know 1979.
>>129968209Nevermind is 80% bangers
>>129968109there are like 20 better and more iconic 90s rock bands
>>129968109It's nice that we can all agree Ava Adore is his best song.
>>129973869Personally, and this is just me, I'd say Today.
is the original pressing of Siamese Dream noticeably different than the remaster?
>>129973869Man, that song blows
Can we stop misgendering her, please? Thanks
>>129968109cant believe all the rogan incels love this whiny 'tonight tonight' mutha fucker just cuz he does podcasts and says he saw an alien.jimmy chamberlain carried his ass.
>>129975135like most trannies, its was/were
trent reznor is better
>>129968109two biggest rock acts of the 90's during the 90's were Pearl Jam and Alanis.
>>129968109Still 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 eraDespite 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.
>>129968138I have 20 year old zoomer friends who love them
>>129968138lol what. zoomer girls love Luna and Today
>>129972478The 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
>>129976948definitely not biased at all and not just playing favorites
>>129976948pumpkins 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
>>129977254truebut their music is cliche
>>129968109Why did Norm MacDonald shave his head?
>>129976948you're mostly right but I think you're mistaken on what pastiche means
