Damn I wish I saw the Smashing Pumpkins before they broke up, now there will always be a hole in my heart that I can never fill.

a good, original band.
....to other gay ass losers who only limit themselves to the radio and mtv, Smashing Pumpkins are "weird".
who the hell cares if the lead guy is pratically bald?? atleast he sings about shit other than shooting people and having sex like 50 cent...or molest 14 year old girls like R.Kelly.

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.

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!"
