smashing pumpkins - mayonaise (1993) this song still kills to this day

[mr_lebowski]

i was feeling nostalgic and needed to hear something that ROCKS

yes they got too big and billy's head got WAY too big, but when siamese dream dropped, man ... they were the coolest thing there was at that time, and that disc was on my stereo for like a year straight. i still love it. gish, too. mellon collie ... eh. some songs.

and this song is, IMHO, a masterpiece among the collection of masterpieces

of course ... very loud is very highly recommended ...

studio version

and live from the '93 tour, upon which I saw them at the Warfield, SF ... on my birthday ... from 2nd row of the balcony, center ...

2. Love this band and this album

It would be very hard, but if I had to pick my favorite album of the 90s it would be Siamese Dream.

Saw them at Lollapalooza in '94.

I've wanted to post their stuff here, but with Billy so far off the deep end I thought I might get yelled at.

P.S. to Billy.: It's not a Smashing Pumpkins reunion if D'arcy isn't there.

Thanks!

Siamese Dream
Hole - Live Through This
Nirvana - Nevermind
Nirvana - In Utero
U2 - Achtung Baby
Belly- Star
REM - Automatic for the People
The Breeders - Last Splash
Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie
Jesus and Mary Chain - Honey's Dead
Elvis Costello - Mighty Like a Rose
REM - Adventures in Hi Fi

"But my god, how could you forget Sonic Youth, Dirty?"
"Oh, yes! Add that to the list..."

But there's also Zooropa... This is so hard...

Actually, there are so many. That was a great decade.

3. Nice!!!

Pumpkins are good with my coffee!!!

[Glamrock]

6. By the way listened to both this morning.

Great way to start the day. Tanks agin baby!

[mr_lebowski]

8. Gish and Siamese Dream? Excellent :)

I listened to both those discs in a row MANY a time back in the day.

Rhinoceros is my jam on Gish, freaking love that song. Though every song on both albums is great-to-amazing.

Happy to be of service

10. I remember hearing it for the first time.

I grew up in the 70’s & 80’s man. Pure cock/corporate rock. Fucking Gish knocked me on my ass. That and.....Holy fuck man! We both forgot Janes! The fucks wrong with us! But Gish, Janes, and Louder than Love we’re really eye opening. As was Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste is up there too. Oh and 100% Fun. How’s that for a crazy juxtaposition?

[mr_lebowski]

11. OMFG how did I forget Girlfriend?

Love the trio of GF, Altered Beast and 100% Fun but my edge has to go to the first ... I saw Matthew on all 3 of those tours, I was a huge fanboy

ANNNND ... if I went to 30, I also would've had Pretty Hate Machine or Downward Spiral. Tough to choose, might've had both ...

Oh, and damn ... Blood Sugar Sex Magick ... that was pretty epic.

Jane's Addiction's 2 great albums are the 80's, so ... I bought those both pretty immediately when they came out at the time. (edit: I guess Ritual was 1990, my bad).

But here's one in Jane's honor ... from their debut album, before Nothing's Shocking.
