An alternative rock band lead by Billy Corgan, (who's voice is very awesome and original, but disliked by many idiots )from the late 80's until their breakup in 2000.
The Jewish teen watched in amazement at the screen, feeling a rush of nostalgia as the Smashing Pumpkins DVD played in front of him.

"I found that my heart is in the Smashing Pumpkins...For a year now I have walked around with a secret, a secret I chose to keep. But now I want you to be among the first to know that I have made plans to renew and revive The Smashing Pumpkins. I want my band back, and my songs, and my dreams."

Smashing pumpkins rock. They are original, like no other band I have heard of. I wish I could have seen them live.
They better reform, that way we can see them live once again and relive the glory of smashing pumpkins

Billy Corgan (vocals)
James Iha (guitar)
Jimmy Chamerlain (Drums)
D'arcy Gretzky (Bass)
These four people made some of the best music of the Alternative Rock movement of the 90s. Hits included Disarm, Tonight, 1979, and Bullets with Butterfly Wings. There best albums are Mellan Chollie and the Infinite Sadness, Gish, and Siamese Dreams.
Better than any music of todays generation. Rap is Krap kiddies. 50 cent is really a pansy.

In response to definition #7, there was officially no "The" in the name of the band (as far as the print on album covers) until the release of Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness in 1995. You're not clever, guy.
"What's the best album of all time, d00d?"
"Why, it's Siamese Dream by Smashing Pumpkins, of course!"
"Thx!"

One of my (and plenty of other people's) favourite band. Their music is embracing and can be light and soft like "Soothe" from the album "Pisces Iscariot" or dark and heavy like "Zero" from the album "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness", and anywhere in between.
A popular (because of mainstream) alt rock band made up of Billy Corgan (Vocals, Guitar), James Iha (Guitar), D'arcy Wretzky (Bass), and Jimmy Chamberlin (Drums). Got together 1988 in Chicago, released several albums.
1. Gish
2. Siamese Dream
3. Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
4. Pisces Iscariot
5. Adore
6. Machina: Machines of God
After the bands breakup in 2000, Billy Corgan, Guitarist/Vocalist of the Pumpkins and drummer Jimmy Chamberlin formed the band Zwan, while D'arcy Wretzky and James Iha formed Scratchy records. Billy Corgan also does some solo songs (Mina Loy, Walking Shade).
